[QUOTE="Bloders, post: 3397656, member: 1111"] the buffer tank temp can only reduce if the return water temp is lower. the return water temp is lower for ONLY one of two reasons. 1) there is poor insulation, so the heat is leaking to its' surroundings, or 2) the heat is being used by the property. The energy of the hot water is going somewhere. If your heat meter is anything like ours, it will give you water temp in, water temp out, flow rate and heat consumption. We have a buffer tank of about 12000litres. overnight, temp will drop from about 70 to 60 degrees, heat consumption is between 10 to 15 KW depending on conditions. you can then calculate losses etc with reasonable accuracy, which I will probably do for a better understanding of the system i dont know your boiler type, but when its not lit, is the water still circulating through it? If so, turning the circulation water through the boiler will make a big difference, as when it has no fuel, it is in effect a radiator in reverse. [/QUOTE]
