Re: Buffer tank
The design of vertical buffer tank is usually related to space saving.
I don't see any reason why you can't design an horizontal one.
I would suggest you to design it round one and place it in a small [2%] slope towards the outlet valve to keep it clean.

Re: Buffer tank
Hi
generally buffer storage vessels are designed to give average 15% chilled water capacity volume expressed as a thermal storage volume. Bare in mind the floor loadings if at top of a building, then include baffles for water surge effect as well. Generally cross flow for maximizing regeneration to heat source.
There are formulas in " engineering tool box " google it. Vertical or horizontal earth quakes can be damaging with large volume vessels.
