Operation & Maintenance of District Heating Networks

Juri Frorip (Estonia, SW Energia)
11:00 - 11:45 CET
Basics of Operation & Maintenance of District Heating Networks

This lecture covers the fundamentals of district heating networks, including the production, distribution of heat energy, pumping systems, and boiler houses. Participants will gain an understanding of the key components and their roles in ensuring efficient network operation and maintenance (based on the example of Estonia).

Alessandro Gnatta (Italy, A2A)
11:45 - 12:45 CET
Interconnection of Different District Heating Regions

In this lecture, we explore the interconnection of various district heating regions or systems. Topics include different heating sources, pump configurations, and strategies for linking multiple regions or systems efficiently. Some examples and case studies of successful interconnection projects will be discussed.

Dirk Vanhoudt (Belgium, VITO)
13:00 - 14:00 CET
Practical Examples of Temperature Management

In this practical lecture, participants will explore methods for decreasing temperatures in district heating networks and the impact on heat losses, consumers, and heat production. Practical examples and case studies will be used to illustrate temperature management strategies and their benefits.
