MSB Carbon Steel Buffer Vessels
The Adveco MSB range of carbon steel primary system buffer vessels has been carefully designed to fit most heating application that requires an inertia tank or energy storage vessel.
The MSB range features numerous high-, mid-, and low-level connections to ensure compatibility with almost any heating application. Such tappings enable the tanks to be used with multiple return flow temperatures or multiple heat sources, such as renewables or low- and high-grade heaters. With 90-degree connection positions, the MSB range is designed for corner installations to allow the most efficient use of available plant room space.
The range includes buffer vessels with capacities from 300L to 5,000L. MSB tanks from 500 to 2000 litres are also available with a single fixed heat exchange coil in the bottom of the tank.
All tanks are rated to 3 bar as standard, with options to 6 bar working pressure, and temperatures up to 95°C. Each tank is supplied with 100mm removable insulation, packed separately.
Available ancillaries include control and overheat thermostats, automatic air vents, and gauges.
Corner-Fit Buffer Vessel Design: Features & Key Technologies
- 300 – 5,000 litre capacity
- Rated for 3 or 6 bar working pressure
- Rated for temperatures up to 95°C
- High, mid, and low-level connections
- Ideal for all use with all heating and cooling systems
- Available with a single internal heat exchange coil (MSB 501–2001)
Options
90-degree connection positions mean MSB is built specifically for corner installations, a genuine space-saver where plant room layout is tight. MSB tanks from 500 to 2,000 litres can be specified with a single fixed heat exchange coil in the bottom of the tank, letting the same vessel serve as either a plain buffer or a basic indirect calorifier depending on which model you choose. Available ancillaries include control and overheat thermostats, automatic air vents, and gauges.
What is a commercial buffer vessel?
A buffer vessel is a storage tank that sits between a heat source and a building’s heating system, absorbing the gap between how the heat source generates heat and how the building actually uses it. Rather than the heat source cycling on and off to chase every change in demand, it charges the buffer at a steady rate, and the building draws from that stored capacity as needed. MSB is Adveco’s standard carbon steel buffer range for this role, built for closed heating and DHW systems.

MSB or MSS: which Adveco buffer vessel do you need?
Adveco has two carbon steel buffer ranges, and the difference comes down to pressure and how demanding the system is. MSB is the standard option, rated to 3 bar as standard with a 6 bar upgrade, and built for corner installation where plant room space is at a premium. MSS is the heavier-duty option in the same size range, rated to 6 bar as standard with a 10 bar upgrade, for larger commercial and industrial heating systems that need more pressure headroom. If your system pressure sits within standard limits, MSB is the more straightforward specification. If you need the extra pressure capacity, MSS is the one to choose.
