Danish Model

The adoption of low carbon technologies in Denmark is being driven by the operators of district heating schemes, combined with high carbon taxes.

Low returns save money!

Less heat lost in the distribution pipework Reduced electricity cost to run pump No need to extend the DH distribution pipe Potential higher electricity production at the CHP plant Less cost for the DH operator Less cost for you the customer

Strategy - Focus on system return temperatures

AM12/2013 – Combined heat and power for buildings

“It is recommended that, for new systems, radiator circuit temperatures of 70 °C (flow) and 40 °C (return) are used with a maximum return temperature of 25 °C from instantaneous domestic hot water heat exchangers.”

1000 litres storage with delta T of 20 deg. (80/60) has capacity of 23 kW. 1000 litres storage with delta T of 40 deg. (80/40) has capacity of 46 kW.

Supply Side – Thermal Stores

AM12/2013 – Combined heat and power for buildings “A thermal store will only be successful with a variable flow building heating system that can maintain low and constant return temperatures, so that the stored energy is maximised.”

Supply Side – CHP

AM12/2013 – Combined heat and power for buildings “Normally, a fixed flow temperature is required from the CHP unit, and the mixing circuit should be used to control the flow temperature off the unit by injecting flow water into the return as required.”

Going forward

  • Lack of design standards
  • Coming at the end of this year
  • Poor understanding of functioning of HIU and its purpose – all about the

return

  • Lack of product standards
  • Design Issues – Diversities
  • Change is needed for central designs

with HIUs to continue
