What is "What temperatures does the heating network require?"?

In the district heating network, the flow temperature is typically 80–90 °C, the return temperature at 55–70 °C; the temperature difference determines the transferable heat capacity — a low return temperature improves the efficiency.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Flow temperature (target range 80–90 °C) as an indicator for the supply capacity
  • Return temperature (target range 55–70 °C) to determine the network loss rate
  • Temperature difference as the basis for the heat output calculation
  • Deviations from the setpoint as an early indicator of circulation problems or insulation defects
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: if the temperature difference decreases, the CHP unit extracts less heat, resulting in a lower overall efficiency and cogeneration benefit. The AI: detects the shrinking temperature difference early, before the amount of heat drops significantly. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

An optimised return temperature minimises heat loss in the network and directly increases the overall energy efficiency of the CHP unit. Stable temperature parameters prevent thermal overloading of the components. Precise monitoring enables targeted maintenance of the circulation pumps and heat exchangers.
