After five years the COOL DH project has come to an end. Thank you everybody who has followed us over the years! During the project lifetime, we have planned, developed, researched, and implemented new ways of low-temperature district heating.…

Høje Taastrup Municipality has decided to go fossil free

, , , ,
Høje Taastrup Municipality  has decided to go fossil free and to transform present natural gas heated areas to district heating (low temperature) and heat pumps. COOL DH is included in theese plans and have contributed to the transformation.…

What does the users think about Low Temperature District Heating?

, , , ,
User acceptance is an important part for low temperature district heating to be installed and used. Especially since it is often sold with arguments such as benefits for the customers, not only the environment. But do the customers really care?…

Technical workshop: Low temperature district heating

, , , ,
We arranged a technical workshop to share our experiences and hear other cities thoughts about low temperature district heating.  On March 23, we gathered the municipalities and energy companies from three Swedish cities to talk about low…

Cool District Heating allows a new kind of plastic pipes

, ,
At the Cool DH demonstration site in Brunnshög, Lund a new kind of plastic pipes have been installed successfully. The new PE-RT pipes comes with benefits such as less joints and more customized design. The PolyEthylene Raised Temperature…

Cloud connected DH-substation under evaluation

,
A new project report clarifies how upgrading a district heating substation with a new digital system can generate several benefits. Not only can it be used to influence end users, but it can also detect hardware or software failures in earlier…

The image shows how the installation of the LTDH-service pipes in Osterby are close to the users' buildings in order to reduce the length of the network and consequently the heat losses.

From traditional DH to LTDH in Østerby

, , , ,
A new low-temperature network has been designed to upgrade the old and obsolete traditional district heating-network in Høje-Taastrup. This report provides information about the final design and the implementation of the low-temperature district heating network and can be used as a guideline of the installation process for future similar projects.
New type of substation

New type of substation to meet the requirements of LTDH

, ,
The transition to low-temperature supply in district heating networks requires new technical solutions to meet the heat requirements of the consumers and guarantee their safety. The new distribution system at the COOL DH demo site in Høje-Taastrup does just that!
Heat pumps installed in MAX IV

Producing heating, cooling and surplus heating for the LTDH grid

, ,
In COOL DH we develop and demonstrate a range of technologies to supply low-temperature networks with heat without compromising the users' comfort and the efficiency of the district heating system. In Lund, Kraftringen has installed a heat recovery system at MAX IV research facility, supplying the new Brunnshög district with low temperature district heating.
