District Heating module

District Heating module For calculation of solar local district heating systems with 9 variable system types

District heating is the use of a centralized heating system to provide heat for a number of buildings. With the T*SOL District Heating module it is now possible to simulate and design local district heating systems supported by solar energy.

Available with:

The District Heating module is optional only for T*SOL Expert users and includes the following features:

Define up to six collector arrays, connected to the power house via a freely-definable solar network. The power house consists of a buffer tank and boiler system and can be modelled in three types:

1. Bivalent buffer tank with integrated auxiliary heating as a boiler buffer (see Example 1)
2. Monovalent buffer tank with serial boiler connection (see Example 2)
3. Monovalent buffer tank with secondary boiler buffer tank (see Example 3)
    

Connect the power house with up to six heat transfer stations via a freely-definable local district heating network. Heat transfer stations are also available in three basic types:

1. Heat transfer station system for DHW stations (see Example 2)
2. Tank loading system (see Examples 1 and 2)
3. Tank loading system with recooling and thermal disinfection (see Example 3)
    

Each heat transfer station includes central space heating supply.

With the solar local district heating module it is possible to variably define the corresponding system configurations (examples follow):
 

Example 1 - Power house characterised by a bivalent buffer tank with integrated auxiliary heating as boiler buffer
 

Example 2 - Power house characterised by a monovalent buffer tank with serial boiler connection
 

Example 3 - Power house characterised by monovalent buffer tank with secondary boiler buffer tank
