[QUOTE="f0ster, post: 3896396, member: 66372"] a biomass usually has some sort of back end mixer so as to keep the boiler at a min temp of about 50 deg. it is essential to keep the boiler above this min temp to stop condensation inside the boiler which causes corrosion and shortens its life span, they also usually have a start up temperature for the boiler pump of about 50 deg so if the boiler drops below 50 the pump stops so as to maintain the min temp. a biomass boiler will usually heat up a buffet tank in about 3-4 hours if the buffer is correctly sized. if you have enough demand and a pump that can deliver the heat generated to the load then you might be able to get away without a buffer but it is far better if you do have a buffer, 900kw is a lot of heat and a pump that can deliver that amount of heat and keep the boiler cool to prevent it from start/stop all of the time will be very expensive, with a buffer tank it can be left hot when there is no demand due to the boiler will heat it up so as to be ready for immediate use. a buffer will stay hot for quite a long time if there is no demand on it.
