New developments in pipes and related network components for district heating
Book chapter, 2016
This chapter outlines the state-of-the-art pipes, related components and installation methods for district heating (DH). It focuses on technical aspects concerning a DH pipe system’s life cycle cost, covering investment costs, heat losses and durability of materials and components. The review is based on research results from the late 1990s onwards, which are deemed not to be considered as common knowledge nor broadly put into use by the European DH industry.
