Background
Low temperature district heating (LTDH)
50-55°C Supply 20-30°C Return
Situation Today
- 3rd generation
- 90-75°C Supply / 40-50°C Return
- Customer temperature demand:
20°C space heating / 50-60°C DHW
Future Expectations
- Decrease of building heat demand
- New heat sources to be integrated
- Improve environmental
performance

Background
What are the temperatures
- f radiator systems in
existing buildings? Radiators in Buildings
- Design before 1980: typ. 80°C supply
- Design after 1982: max 60°C supply
- Control, monitoring and balancing of
radiator systems important
Previous Work
- Focus on temperatures on the district
heating side
- Lack of documentation of
temperatures on secondary side

The Actors Involved in This Project
District Heating Provider
- Major DH customer
- 330 Substations
- 26 900 Apartments
- Hourly data
measurements available from SCADA system Public Housing Company Research Institution
SLIDE 7
Temperature data from:
- 5 different geographical areas within
Gothenburg district heating system
- Multi-family buildings only
- February 1st 2015 to January 31st 2016
- 109 radiator systems in total
- Recorded automatically in the substation of
each radiator system
- Each radiator system serves
- approx. 100 apartments

- Majority of
buildings constructed between 1950 and 1965, also have the highest supply temperatures 10/19/2016 Chalmers Teknologkonsulter AB 10

- Low space
heating demand does not mean low supply temperatures
- For the lowest
supply temperatures, same space heating demand as for radiator systems where supply temperatures are the highest

- Radiator systems
with the higher supply temperatures had a low heat transfer area to heating demand ratio
- Majority of
radiator systems need heat transfer area to be increased or building heating demand to be lowered, or maybe a combination
- f both
Relation between Radiator Size and Yearly Specific Heating Demand
- vs. Radiator Supply Temperature
SLIDE 13
- Reduce tempertures to some extent
- Reduce tempertures during parts of the year
- 8% of radiator systems with supply temperatures less than 55°C for DOT
- Renovation needed and heat transfer surfaces to be increased
- 64/42°C for DOT = -16°C
- Large range of values
