Heat pump for district cooling and heating at Oslo airport, Gardermoen.

Author(s) : EGGEN G., VANGSNES G.

Summary

At Gardermoen, one of the largest groundwater reservoirs in Norway is located. This aquifer is used for both heating and cooling of Gardermoen Airport. In the summer, ground water is pumped from cold wells and used for cooling before it is returned to the warm wells. In winter, this process is turned around, as ground water from the warm wells is used as heat source for the heat pump. The heat pump is mainly designed for cooling, and the design cooling demand is 9 MW. The district cooling water is precooled by the ground water, and post cooled by the combined heat pump/refrigeration plant. The base heat load is covered by the heat pump. Additional heat is supplied from a heat energy central with biofuels as well as oil heated and electrically heated boilers.
