been important for this development,
both with regard to energy efficiency
and CO2 emissions: six out of ten Danes
homes are heated by district heating.

University of Denmark (DTU), research-

District cooling District cooling - a hot issue

Lars Gullev,
Chairman DBDH
Today, not just scientists but also politicians and large parts
of the inhabitants take an interest in our environment. The im-
pact of the climate due to the increasing amount of CO2 in the
atmosphere is now very often part of the agenda when people
meet. Part of the reason for the increasing amount of CO2 is
an improved standard of living and, hence, an increased use of
fossil fuels, such as natural gas, oil and coal.
One of the consequences of the increasing amount of CO2 is
an increased need for cooling of our buildings in order to en-
sure a good indoor climate. The demand for cooling can be met
by electrically powered compressors or, alternatively, by using
district heating for cooling purposes - so-called district cooling.
In many countries all over the world, the need for electricity is

District cooling District cooling - a hot issue

Lars Gullev,
Chairman DBDH
Today, not just scientists but also politicians and large parts
of the inhabitants take an interest in our environment. The im-
pact of the climate due to the increasing amount of CO2 in the
atmosphere is now very often part of the agenda when people
meet. Part of the reason for the increasing amount of CO2 is
an improved standard of living and, hence, an increased use of
fossil fuels, such as natural gas, oil and coal.
One of the consequences of the increasing amount of CO2 is
an increased need for cooling of our buildings in order to en-
sure a good indoor climate. The demand for cooling can be met
by electrically powered compressors or, alternatively, by using
district heating for cooling purposes - so-called district cooling.
In many countries all over the world, the need for electricity is
today largest in the summer, partly due to a large electricity
consumption for cooling. If this cooling requirement could be
met by district cooling, the results would be this:
Increased energy efficiency, since the cooling water from heating companies and the industry. However, the last obstacle
electricity production would be used for cooling purposes.
Reduced production of electricity and a reduction in the action. Only by integrating cooling also in the national energy
demand for new power capacity.

Absorption chiller for base load and

electrically powered chillers for peak load

Central Milton Keynes is an ongoing development project area, located between Lon-
don and Birmingham. The project is being realised by Thameswey Central Milton Key-
nes Ltd., a fully owned special purpose subsidiary of Thameswey Energy Limited. The
Thameswey Group is an investor, owning and operating a number of energy plants,
and was established in 2000 in the UK. Thamesweys initial projects attracted the at-
tention of authorities and developers alike, which led the governments development
agency (English Partnership) to start the cooperation with Thameswey in Central

Milton Keynes.

Utilisation of absorption chillers us-
ing waste heat is feasible, however, it is
naturally subject to the individual coun-
tries legislation and regulations re-
garding the use of generated heat be-
ing converted to chilled water. In many
countries, heat production and distri-
bution are still regulated, but chilled
water may not be governed by the same
restrictions. In such instances, utility
companies can set up a new business
branch - not regulated, but with com-
petitive unit cost.
If heat must be dumped under normal
operation of the CHP unit because of
lack of demand, it will of course be a
better solution to produce chilled wa-
ter, both for the environment and for
the investor.
In countries where civil and structural
works are a significant part of the in-
vestment, the plant layout is flexible in
that the absorption chillers do not have
to be located together with the CHP
plant as they can be placed in the cus-
tomers building.
Absorption chillers are a high cost in-

Absorption chiller for base load and

electrically powered chillers for peak load

Central Milton Keynes is an ongoing development project area, located between Lon-
don and Birmingham. The project is being realised by Thameswey Central Milton Key-
nes Ltd., a fully owned special purpose subsidiary of Thameswey Energy Limited. The
Thameswey Group is an investor, owning and operating a number of energy plants,
and was established in 2000 in the UK. Thamesweys initial projects attracted the at-
tention of authorities and developers alike, which led the governments development

Milton Keynes.

Utilisation of absorption chillers us-
ing waste heat is feasible, however, it is
naturally subject to the individual coun-
tries legislation and regulations re-
garding the use of generated heat be-
ing converted to chilled water. In many
countries, heat production and distri-
bution are still regulated, but chilled
water may not be governed by the same
restrictions. In such instances, utility
companies can set up a new business
branch - not regulated, but with com-
petitive unit cost.
If heat must be dumped under normal
operation of the CHP unit because of
lack of demand, it will of course be a
better solution to produce chilled wa-
ter, both for the environment and for
the investor.
In countries where civil and structural
works are a significant part of the in-
vestment, the plant layout is flexible in
that the absorption chillers do not have
to be located together with the CHP
plant as they can be placed in the cus-
tomers building.
Absorption chillers are a high cost in-
vestment, and it can be an advantage
supplying the base load from the ab-
sorption chillers with electrically driven
peak load chillers, which have lower in-
vestment costs.

Absorption chiller for base load and electrically...
Is it feasible?
Feasibility depends upon individual circumstances.
Yes, if you are the developer investing in the building con-
nected to the distribution system, district heating and private
wire, owned and operated by another company. Figure 1 shows
two alternatives with either absorption or electrically oper-
ated chiller.
The heat price is based on the average summer gas price. If
that price increases to 15.46/MWh, the investments annual
contribution is equal.
If there is no maintenance for the electrical chiller, the invest-
ments are equal.
If the COP value for the electrical chiller increases to 3.3, the
investment equalizes.
No, if all the above parameters increase. It will be difficult to
persuade the parties that the absorption solution is the fea-
sible way forward.
But the advantage of a CHP system with district heating
pipes is that the heat can supply the absorption chiller even
during periods with grid interruption and blackouts which stop
electric chiller production.

Siemens Flow Instruments
With more than 475,000 employees in
over 190 countries, Siemens is one of
the worlds largest companies in elec-
tronics and electrical engineering. Sie-
mens Flow Instruments (SFI), which
is part of this international group, is
based in the picturesque surroundings
of Nordborg, situated in Southern Den-
mark. Due to its close allegiance to Sie-
mens, SFI has a global network which
helps clients in connection with sale,
service and support.
SFI develops and manufactures highly
advanced flow meters for measurement
of a wide range of media. Every flow
meter lives up to the demand for high
accuracy and reliability expected within
the process instrumentation industries
that SFI supply. These industries include
water & wastewater, chemical, food &
beverage, pharmaceutical, mining & ag-
gregate, paper & pulp, energy, automa-
tion and oil & gas and others.
Particular focus on district
heating and cooling
One of the industries that SFI pays
particular attention to, however, is dis-
trict heating and cooling. Despite the
fact that this industry is a fast-grow-
ing business characterized by aggres-
sive competition and challenging mar-
ket conditions, SFI has always striven
to stay focused on the customers and
their needs. In combination with the
fact that Siemens is a system and ap-
plication provider, the customer has
the obvious benefit that he can have
all his instrumentation needs covered
by only a single supplier. Business Man-
ager, Bent Vestergaard puts it this
way: When looking at Siemens in gen-
eral, and not only SFI, we are a full-line
supplier within the district heating and
cooling industry. We equip entire CHP
plants or district heating plants, but we
also supply partial solutions and pro-
fessional expertise if that is what is re-
quested. We cover a wide range of solu-
tions from supply of single components
to complete applications and anything
that lies in between. This is certainly
one of our strengths. SFI is a very small
part of Siemens internationally, but
we can benefit from the fact that the
Siemens group is so big or rather our
district heating and cooling customers
benefit from this.
E N E R G Y
There are 450 company
employees in four countries:
Nordborg, Denmark 225
Stonehouse, England 125

Acquisitions have further
strengthened the position within
district heating and cooling
In order to strengthen their position
within flow metering in general, SFI ac-
quired Danfoss Flow Division in Novem-
ber 2004 and Controlotron in May 2006.
Both companies were bought because
of their outstanding, high-performance
product portfolio of flow meters. The
acquisition of Controlotron, an Ameri-
can-based manufacturer of clamp-on
ultrasonic flow meters, also meant that
SFI got much stronger within the dis-
trict heating and cooling industry where
clamp-on flow and energy meters are
widely used. So if this is combined with
the fact that SFI has a strong product
fit within electromagnetic flow meters,
SFI holds a position as one of the lead-
ing manufacturers of flow measure-
ment devices within district heating
and cooling.

Reliable and accurate
The robust MAG 8000 and FUE380
flowmeters built to resist harsh envi-
ronments perform with long-term high
accuracy, providing district heating and
cooling applications with consistently
accurate consumption monitoring. In
addition, they are delivered with sev-
eral country specific approvals as well
as EN 1434 and MID. Since both flowm-
eters can be installed in areas without
mains power supply, the need for ex-
pensive cabling is also eliminated. Once
the battery-operated flowmeter has
been installed, it can operate reliably
for typically 6 years between changes
of battery.
The FUE380 flowmeter performs with
an accuracy of 0.5%, whereas the MAG
8000 measures with an accuracy of at
least 0.4% and are unaffected by solids
and debris present in irrigation water.
So in short, using the low-power flow-
meters SITRANS F M MAG 8000 and SI-
TRANS FUE380, and backed up by Sie-
mens broad experience in the field, will
optimize district heating and cooling
applications to superior performance.

product portfolio of flow meters. The
acquisition of Controlotron, an Ameri-
can-based manufacturer of clamp-on
ultrasonic flow meters, also meant that
SFI got much stronger within the dis-
trict heating and cooling industry where
clamp-on flow and energy meters are
widely used. So if this is combined with
the fact that SFI has a strong product
fit within electromagnetic flow meters,
SFI holds a position as one of the lead-
ing manufacturers of flow measure-
ment devices within district heating
and cooling.

Reliable and accurate
The robust MAG 8000 and FUE380
flowmeters built to resist harsh envi-
ronments perform with long-term high
accuracy, providing district heating and
cooling applications with consistently
accurate consumption monitoring. In
addition, they are delivered with sev-
eral country specific approvals as well
as EN 1434 and MID. Since both flowm-
eters can be installed in areas without
mains power supply, the need for ex-
pensive cabling is also eliminated. Once
the battery-operated flowmeter has
been installed, it can operate reliably
for typically 6 years between changes
of battery.
The FUE380 flowmeter performs with
an accuracy of 0.5%, whereas the MAG
8000 measures with an accuracy of at
least 0.4% and are unaffected by solids
and debris present in irrigation water.
So in short, using the low-power flow-
meters SITRANS F M MAG 8000 and SI-
TRANS FUE380, and backed up by Sie-
mens broad experience in the field, will
optimize district heating and cooling
applications to superior performance.

Voronezh a Danish outpost for energy rehabilitation
The Voronezh project
In order to conduct the above mentioned
tasks, the Voronezh Regional Adminis-
tration and DEEC A/S (a 100% owned
daughter company of Vestforsyning Er-
hverv A/S) have agreed to establish an
energy saving office in Voronezh called
the IESC (International Energy Saving
Centre) on a 50/50 % basis.
The agreement was signed in June 2007
and the basic payments from both sides
have been paid.
The first project for the IESC is the re-
habilitation of 68 gas boiler stations,
which have to be renewed. The plan for
this project has been signed, and DEEC
A/S has made a project scheme in co-
operation with the company Plan & Pro-
jekt A/S. After this, Danish companies
will be invited to participate in the tech-
nical execution of the project.

The second project for the IESC is to
make a master plan for the Voronezh
Region. This project is also in its first
stage, the collection of all nessecary
political and technical data taking place.
DEEC A/S and Plan & Projekt A/S are
inviting Danish companies to take part
in this project also. The contract for
this project has been signed as well.
In the long run, these two projects will
lead to a major rehabilitation of the
district heating system in the Voronezh
region.

Voronezh a Danish outpost for energy rehabilitation
The Voronezh project
In order to conduct the above mentioned
tasks, the Voronezh Regional Adminis-
tration and DEEC A/S (a 100% owned
daughter company of Vestforsyning Er-
hverv A/S) have agreed to establish an
energy saving office in Voronezh called
the IESC (International Energy Saving
Centre) on a 50/50 % basis.
The agreement was signed in June 2007
and the basic payments from both sides
have been paid.
The first project for the IESC is the re-
habilitation of 68 gas boiler stations,
which have to be renewed. The plan for
this project has been signed, and DEEC
A/S has made a project scheme in co-
operation with the company Plan & Pro-
jekt A/S. After this, Danish companies
will be invited to participate in the tech-
nical execution of the project.

Phone: +45 9612 7300, Fax: +45 9612 7301,ss@vestforsyning.dk
The second project for the IESC is to
make a master plan for the Voronezh
Region. This project is also in its first
stage, the collection of all nessecary
political and technical data taking place.
DEEC A/S and Plan & Projekt A/S are
inviting Danish companies to take part
in this project also. The contract for
this project has been signed as well.
In the long run, these two projects will
lead to a major rehabilitation of the
district heating system in the Voronezh
region.

Financing
The projects will be split into 2 financ- names & Notes
ing possibilities. The first is investment
projects with a long payback time, and
the second are projects based on re-
volving fund financing with short pay-
back time.
IESC will apply international investment
funds for funding, and from Danish side,
the I fund has shown interest in taking

LOGSTOR pipe systems are supplied with three diffe-
rent insulation thicknesses: Series 1, Series 2 and Series
3, of which Series 3 is the optimal solution.
Diffusion barriers have the biggest effect with the
smallest dimensions. It is therefore standard equipment
in our straight single pipes up to 315 mm. Straight
single pipes in larger dimensions can be supplied with
a diffusion barrier as an option.

Using LOGSTOR pre-insulated pipe systems you can be
sure that the heat will not be lost on its long way to the end-
user. There are several good reasons for that:
high insulation levels reduce the heat loss to a minimum
guaranteed Lambda values down to 0.023 W/mK
integrated diffusion barrier assures that the pipes keep
their full insulation capacity through their entire service life
three optional insulation thicknesses: Series 1, 2 and 3.
We continue to develop our pipe systems and optimise
energy efficiency so that we avoid any unnecessary waste
of energy.
