New type of PE-RT pipes with leakage detection
DemonstrationThe possibility to detect potential leakage in a DH (or LTDH) system is crucial. In COOL DH, plastic media pipes are used instead of the classic steel media pipes. This requires a slightly different solution to detect leakage.

Incorporating a distributed, local waste heat source into the LTDH grid
Demonstration, Kraftringen, ReportsAs the temperature in the DH grids generally, and LTDH grids specifically, is gradually lowered it allows for new types of production to be included in the grid. The value of waste heat from “prosumers” has been considered too low in terms of temperature and volume, but that is no longer the case.
