Stainless Steel Hot Water Tanks

The range consists of three types of vessel, differentiated by the number of internal heat exchange coils included as standard.

The Stainless Steel Buffer (SSB) range serves as buffer vessels only, and are supplied with two blank flanges without any internal heat exchange coils. The SSB range can be used to expand the dump load capacity of a water heating installation.

The Stainless Steel Indirect (SSI) range is supplied with a single high-output internal heat exchange coil at low level to serve as an indirect calorifier in DHW installations.

The Stainless Steel Twin-Coil (SST) range is supplied with a pair of independent internal heat exchange coils to serve domestic hot water systems. Each high-output coil can be used with a separate heat source, enabling effective integration of renewable technologies or multiple heat sources, or alternatively can be combined to increase the heat transfer capacity from a single high-output source.

By adding specialised flanges instead of blanks, two subtypes of the SSB buffer vessel are also available: The SSB-E electric water heater, and the SSB-D direct buffer.

Stainless Steel Buffer Electric (SSB-E): One to two-element mounting flanges can be used to house up to four primary immersion heaters in addition to the aforementioned backup immersion heater, delivering electrical heating outputs of up to 84 kW with inbuilt redundancy.

Stainless Steel Buffer Direct (SSB-D): By using a specialised flange in the lower port of the SSB, direct large-bore flow and return connections can be made to a water heater.
