• Buffer tank (external heat exchanger)
• DHW tank (external heat exchanger)
The values which must be input and therefore the pages in the input dialog vary depending on the tank.
Ł Chapter 7.4.1 describes general tank parameters.
Ł Chapter 7.4.2 describes parameters for specific tank types.

Image: Input dialog for tank parameters,
example single coil tank
Ł Proceed as follows:
1. Select a tank by clicking the Select button to load a tank from the database.
- OR: If you don't know the specific auxiliary heat, you can use the default auxiliary heat for the
simulation:
Click on Load standard. The standard rated output is always the same for any given type of
system.
- OR: Configuration of the tank volume
- Click on Design. This enters correct tank volume for the given system and consumption.
- You can accept this tank volume.
2. Where required, modify the pre-entered values.
For standard tanks, you can modify the volume, the number of tanks, the relation of height /
diameter, the insulation thickness, and the thermal conductivity on the Parameters page.
The insulation properties are defined by the information on the thickness of the heat insulation and
the thermal conductivity of the insulation. You set the thermal losses of the tank.
3. Save all entries by clicking OK or go to the next parameter dialog using the arrow button .
