District Heating - Temperature and Heating Capacity

Temperature and heat capacity of water flow in heating systems

Increased supply temperature in district heating systems reduces required volume flow.

Supply Temperature (oC) Required Water Flow (liters/kW)
90 28.7
100 21.5
112 16.4
120 14.3
133 11.8
150 9.6
180 7.2
