Anyone have any info about the heat storage from New Horizon

[Burn-1]

I noticed that New Horizon has a 490 gallon heat storage tank listed on their website now and it looks pressurized. I'm guessing it's a contract domestic manufacture since 490 gallons doesn't equate to any meaningful round amount of liters and it would appear to fit most door frames. I'll probably give them a call later but was wondering if anyone might otherwise be familiar with it.

$1,900 plus shipping. Not too bad. More storage is obviously better but for a smaller boiler it looks like a pretty good deal.

This seems to be the first of it's kind for sale. That's probably what Tarm has in mind soon.

I assume no exchanger or insulation comes with that?

The dimensions make it fit nicely without taking up so much space, but more surface area means more to insulate.

Good looking idea.

I believe it's insulated. I like the shape and size.

gene from ecoheatonline , is selling a pressure tank , I think near 700 gal . it comes in three pieces so you can get it in basement, also double layer insulation and I think he said near $ 3000 ??. I dont remember all the info but it still beats the open sts tanks.

Windy Ridge is selling a similar size and shape pressurized tank for their Kaukora downdraft boilers but I think it's about $3,400.

I had been looking at some of these tanks from Poland but the fall of the dollar and the increased cost of fuel haven't done any favors.

Will HPDE tanks work with high temps?
