Biomass buffer info
Folks seen A few various biomass installs, some have Buffer tanks some go direct to a header arrangement.
How do you know wether a buffer is required or a header direct arrangement is sufficient.?
the biomass is 199kw with oil boiler top/backup arrangement.
Also hetas, is it essential for biomass installs and does it require this certificate to be acceptable for RHI?

Re: Biomass buffer info
A lot depends on the fuel being used and the boiler controls (not building controls), strange question for a 200Kw installation, my first step would be RTFM.

Over 50kw is outside the scope of self certification so not sure if there is any requirement to be part of a CPS.
