What is it about?
This publication explores the impact of hydrostatic design static pressure on the dimensions of low-temperature District Heating (DH) networks. The study focuses on low-temperature DH systems that operate at 55 °C and 25 °C for supply and return temperatures, respectively, to achieve energy savings. The research compares different design considerations with varying maximum design static pressures and evaluates their effects from energetic, exergetic, economic, and environmental perspectives. The study also discusses the traditional pipe dimensioning methods used in DH network design and proposes an optimization method that can achieve lower pipe dimensions.

Why is it important?
The novelty of this publication lies in its comprehensive analysis of the impact of the hydrostatic design static pressure level on the pipe dimensions of low-temperature district heating networks. By considering energetic, exergetic, economic, and environmental perspectives, the study provides valuable insights into the optimization of low-temperature district heating systems. Additionally, the focus on low-temperature district heating systems as the 4th generation of district heating, operating at very low temperatures, highlights the potential for significant energy savings and environmental benefits.
