A district energy system transports heated or chilled water from one or more larger energy production plants to a range of consumers through a closed network of pipes.
Improve efficiency and reduce costs with a district energy system
Pumps are the heart of any district energy system. They have a severe influence on how efficiently other individual components in a district energy system work. That is why pump selection is crucial when designing a district energy system. A district energy system is a flexible solution that effectively makes use of a variety of sustainable energy sources.
Accurately controlled circulation is key to user comfort and the general efficiency of the system. With variable frequency drive pumps, you get intelligent pump operations that always match system loads. That way, you are guaranteed maximum efficiency while your energy consumption is kept at a minimum. On top of that, there are plenty of optimisation opportunities, including real-time censoring and temperature control.
Accelerating the energy transition in cities
As demand increases and energy itself becomes scarcer, the need for efficient, low-carbon urban energy systems is urgent.
District energy is one of the most efficient ways to heat or cool a building, reusing surplus energy from industrial processes, data centres or CHP plants, and making smart use of renewables. With Grundfos as your technology partner to provide the right pressure and flow across grids of any size, you achieve greater efficiency, reliability and sustainability throughout your new or existing district energy systems.
