Danfoss is offering bespoke End-to-End solutions for District Energy Networks (DEN) as part of its commitment to creating more sustainable heating and cooling for today’s homes and buildings. A complete package can be provided to optimise heat transfer and system control from the energy source at one end of the network through to end-user level. Solutions include variable speed drives for efficient pump control, bespoke building connections featuring advanced heat exchangers, an extensive range of control components, and ultrasonic energy meters for accurate billing of energy consumption and system diagnostics.
A Danfoss End-to-End package for DEN can be custom-designed to meet specific project requirements. Key components include Danfoss VLT® Drives which offer reliable, accurate pump control and are proven to minimise total HVAC system and lifecycle costs. In addition, Danfoss substations provide a complete building connection for DEN, including balancing and controls. Bespoke building connections are based primarily on Danfoss Sondex heat exchangers for hydronic separation of high pressure/temperature energy sources.
Solutions also feature easy to install Danfoss Heat Interface Units (HIU) offering low return temperature and high user comfort to buildings served by a district heating system. Within building connections Danfoss can also provide controls right down to the thermostats. The Danfoss TPOne programmable room thermostat, for example, gives users control of their indoor environment and energy usage, while Danfoss radiator thermostats optimise balance and performance of the heating system.
Proven in the field, Danfoss solutions are installed in District Heating and Cooling Systems throughout the UK. Projects include bespoke substations for a large scheme of new build commercial and residential buildings in London involving 46 heating and cooling substations, which connect the heat network to the buildings. Danfoss products for superior hydronic balance and control are also at the heart of a new high efficiency heating system connected directly to an energy network as part of the refurbishment of an historic academic building in Scotland.
District Energy is recognised as one of the most effective ways to provide sustainable, cost-optimal energy for heating and cooling our homes and buildings, says Gareth Ash, Marketing and Technical Support Manager at Danfoss. He concludes: “With End-to-End solutions from a single supplier and expertise through the entire delivery chain, Danfoss is making it easier and more cost-effective to design and install new generation heat networks and create a greener, cleaner future for our built environment.”
