                          LowTEMP – Low Temperature District Heating for the Baltic Sea Region

                           

                          District heating systems are widespread around the Baltic Sea but are often outdated. Future-oriented energy supply includes low temperature district heating systems that lose less heat and use renewable energy and waste as heat sources.

                           

                          LowTEMP is intended for representatives of municipal authorities which are responsible for energy, heating companies, planners, engineers, district heating associations.

                          Project budget: EUR 3.8 million

                          Lead partner: Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences

                          Number of project partners: 19 

                           

                          OPEC’s involvement in LowTEMP project:

                          • participating in methodology development by analysis market data
                          • preparation and installation of LTDH monitoring system
                          • testing LTDH in existing buildings and DH systems (testing and measuring data on the pilot installation checking its performance)
                          • participating in data collection according to developed methodology (OPEC will provide data for the Lead Partner – IMP PAN – Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences)
                          • participating in the training program on the planning, installation and Managing LTDH Systems.
                          • developing, testing and evaluating training materials
                          • participating in the study visits as well as seminars directed to increase of knowledge among partnership
                          • participating in knowledge transfer among different municipalities and promoting of LTDH solution in Poland (by workshops, seminars, business metings, etc.)

                          Pilot Case

                          The modernization of a boiler room in the kindergarten located in Rumia Leśna 4 Street was Pilot Case in LowTEMP Project and indicates the legitimacy of using this solution in other similar gas boiler houses in Rumia, Gdynia and Wejherowo.

                          The kindergarten is located away from the municipal heating network and there are currently no plans to connect it. Due to the need to optimize the consumption of heat supplied from local individual gas boiler room, a water-air heat pump powered by natural gas was designed and installed (as a support for existing installation). The heat is collected from the environment through lamella exchanger cooperating with the fan.

                          This system uses renewable energy. For the production of heating water up to 65 , low-noise version of the device was chosen. System features such as low energy consumption, low operating costs and easy maintenance have increased the energy efficiency of the building.

                          After modernization, the efficiency of the system significantly exceeds 100%, and the estimated gas savings will reach 4,000 m3 /year, which automatically means a noticeable reduction in emissions to the atmosphere.

                          The project’s goal is to optimize heat management in the network, develop transnational cooperation methods and processes, exchange experience and knowledge. The specific objectives are: identification of implementation and development of DH management, digitization of DH distribution networks, development of methods for monitoring condition of DH network, training programs in DH management. BSAM will bring both: environmental benefits to the Baltic Sea region and more affordable heat for the customers through a more efficient use of existing resources (fuel and energy savings).

                          Number of project partners: 7

                           

                          OPEC’s involvement in BSAM project:

                          • development of a multi-variant technical and economic study for the modernization of the existing heating system in Wejherowo, taking into account eco-energy technologies, geological and soil-water conditions,
                          • development of a strategic training module for BSAM Data Driven Proactive Maintenance Standard
                          • creation of a risk analysis tool for DH management
                          • training programs in DH management
