Summary

With conventional district heating, the heat distribution temperature must be sufficient to meet the hottest heating need. This requires an expensive piping system for the transport of hot water. And when heat pump technology is used, it severely limits the achievable efficiency. A much better way is to deliver the heat in two steps, with heat distributed at a much lower temperature, and then upgraded to the temperature required for each application. This innovative approach is now being applied at a Norwegian University.
