District heating network wins EHPA award
The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) has awarded the fifth edition of its internationally coveted Heat Pump City of the Year prize. This year’s ceremony saw Calefa Oy win the award for a project in Mäntsälä, Finland. The clearly defined ...
Waste water, a remarkable source for heating networks
What if we told you that in a few years, heating networks could partly use waste water as a raw material? The prospect doesn’t set your pulse racing? And yet this is an ecological, economical and technically reliable heat recovery ...
How can the number of heating networks be increased?
To effectively increase the density of heating networks, we must anticipate innovations and focus on connecting new customers in new residential developments and also improve communication. This is the conclusion of a study published in late April by Amorce (National ...
Fitting insulating sleeves in a heating network
Sleeves, ensuring the energy efficiency of heating networks During the installation process of a district heating network, the pre-insulated steel tubes are connected in the trenches by welding. The junction between two pre-insulated pipes, materialized by welding, is consequently not ...
Limiting pressure losses
Limiting the pressure losses of a heating network is one of the technical features that can improve overall performance. A few weeks ago, we explained why and how heat loss must be combatted: loss of heat and power – i.e. ...
Collective solar heating networks
Gathering together all the stakeholders in the solar heating networks sector to become more effective: this is the objective of SOCOL (for collective solar), a French interprofessional initiative launched in 2009 by Enerplan, with the support of Ademe. The ...
Why calculate thermal losses?
Dans un souci d’efficacité énergétique et afin d’accroître les performances économiques et environnementales des réseaux de chaleur, des techniques d’optimisation ont été élaborées, parmi elles, l’isolation des canalisations. Les pertes thermiques, qu’est-ce que c’est ? Contrairement à ce que l’on ...
