District Heating - How it works in the house
When you convert to district heating a district heating central is installed in your home. This is not much larger than a bathroom cabinet and can therefore be installed on a wall. It is usually placed in the basement – but there can also be room enough in a closet, in the scullery or in the garage – and connected to the district heating grid through two connection pipes not larger than regular water pipes, i.e., 15-20 mm each.
In the district heating central there are two heat exchangers, one for hot water to the faucets and one for the radiators. The heat exchanger functions so that the district heating water circulates in a tube or plate wall system where it exchanges, or transfers, heat with the closed loop system that in turn circulates heated water through the house.
When the pipes are buried and the ground is restored the traces of the installation soon disappears. The district heating contractors are experienced in laying down district heating pipes and have so far installed 13,000 kilometers. They have developed reliable methods for connecting housing units to the district heating net without large intrusions in ground or buildings.
Smart solutions
District heating does not smell, makes no sound and as a general rule requires no maintenance. It is worry-free and safe to be a district heating customer since the technique is not complicated and the dependability very high.
The district heating central can replace a furnace, fuel tank, and hot water heater which saves space and can mean an extra room.
Many single unit houses today have direct operating electric heating. Even these have, after installation of a waterborne heating system, the possibility to change to district heating and thus receive an even and comfortable indoor climate with financial savings.
Unlimited hot water
District heating does not only mean good operational economics and an even and comfortable indoor climate, but also unlimited amount of hot water. You do not risk a cold shower, not even in the morning or at dinnertime when the water use is the largest.
