District Heating and Cooling
About this book
Moving heat and cold efficiently in urban areas is the main goal of district heating and cooling systems. By connecting suitable customer heat and cold demands with available heat and cold sources, the demands can be met with the use of fewer resources in comparison to conventional heat and cold supplies, such as boilers and air conditioners.This textbook contains chapters about the fundamental idea of district heating and cooling, energy markets, customer demands, load variations, supply, environmental impact, distribution, substations, system functioning, economics, planning, historical development, current and future use, organisation, and information sources concerning the flows of heat and cold in district heating and cooling systems.District heating and cooling is an interdisciplinary technology containing elements from many general technologies and methodologies, such as combustion, heat transfer, piping, marketing, billing, etc. This book provides basic introductory knowledge about aspects typical of district heating and cooling that is vital for a basic understanding of, or unique to, this niche technology.The book serves as a comprehensive textbook and reference for district heating engineers, university students of engineering, and employees at district heating companies in general. It also provides tangible and useful information for urban planners, economists, policymakers, and others interested in the topic.
