4.8.3 Combo Tanks
The Combo Tanks are modern high-performance tanks, which were developed especially for the
requirements of the Aquarea heat pumps. They are a combination of a larger domestic hot water
tank located in the upper area of the tank and a smaller buer tank located in the lower area. This
makes the Combo Tanks an ideal solution to supply a household with domestic hot water and
heating for radiators or underoor heating. These compact models ensure very low standby losses
and quick assembly due to the pre-installed assembly groups such as 3-way valve or electric tank
heater (with safety thermostat and error signal contact)
The use of a Combo Tank helps implement multiple functions eciently and easily, such as:
● Domestic hot water production
● Hydraulic disconnection of heat pump and heat consumer circuits
● Ensuring minimum required water volume in the heating system
● Buer function for optimum operation of the Aquarea heat pumps

Tank (PAW-TD23B6E5).
