Abstract

Centralized heat supply systems include a network of pipelines connecting buildings and structures in such a way that entire districts and quarters are supplied with a heat carrier from a single boiler plant. District heating is a well-studied part of the energy system. Despite this, low temperature district heating is still underdeveloped, although it is one of the key technologies for energy efficient urban heating. Low-temperature heat supply systems are the basis of 4th generation district heating systems, since they can significantly reduce heat losses during transportation of the heat carrier to the heat energy consumer and allow the use of heat from renewable sources, for example, heat pumps. The study focuses on analyzing the heat loss of a district heating system by comparing simulation results at a standard flow temperature and at a temperature typical of the 4th generation heat supply schedule. On the basis of the created model, the calculation of heat and hydraulic losses of the low-temperature district heating system was carried out, as well as a comparative analysis in comparison with the standard heat supply system.
