Zilmet, Europe's largest manufacturer of high-quality expansion vessels and plate heat exchangers, has unveiled its Zil-B range of buffer vessels specially designed for air source heat pump installations.

The vessels provide additional water storage in sealed systems, preventing heat pumps from the risk of short cycling, potentially damaging the system and causing a detrimental effect on their energy performance.

Crafted with premium polyurethane foam insulation, Zil-B vessels are available in capacities of 25, 50, 80, and 100 liters to accommodate a variety of installation requirements.

To simplify installation, the Zil-B range comes equipped with an adjustable wall bracket that supports fixtures to uneven walls. Additionally, Zil-B vessels feature extra connections for venting and drainage, offering added convenience during both installation and maintenance.

Optimizing air source heat pump

Stuart Gizzi, Managing Director of Zilmet UK, said, "The Zil-B range is a significant step forward in optimizing air source heat pump installations. Our buffer vessel range sets a new benchmark for performance and energy efficiency while extending the lifespan of heat pump systems."
