Optimisation study of the district heating system

The study contained:

• description of the existing district heating system
• prognosis of heat demand of municipal district heating system until the year of 2020.
• the calculation of the heating network.
• proposals of adaptation of the heating sources to the needs of the network.
• the proposal of improvement of district heating system
• the list of investment tasks together with expenditures and the schedules of their realization.
• the ecological effect

Realization of the project:

Within the confines of the project, co-funded by European Union, have been realized the following tasks:

• the modernization of heat sources, including the modernization of dust cleaning system, as well as the modernization of boiler WR-10 and adaptation to co-burning of biofuel;
• the modernization of the heat distribution network, including the replacement channel networks into preinsulated ones;
• the modernization of substations, including the modernization of technology, assembly of automatics and the adaptation of substations to telemetry system.

Results:

The result of the project implementation was better adaptation of municipal heat engineering system in Koszalin to enlarged environmental protection requirements as well as customers requirements in relation to quality and accessibility of services. It is the significant progress towards sustainable energy system owing to the limitation of air pollution, particularly of dusts, as well as decrease on energy demand, together with improvement of the recipient's thermal comfort. The realization of the project caused the improvement of air quality in Koszalin and the region, and at the same time the growth of attractiveness of the town and region as place of life, work, investing and rest.

It is one of many projects has been realized in Poland, connected with air protection, which was co-funded by European Union and comprised the whole municipal heat engineering system: sources, pipelines and substations.
The tasks realized within the confines of the project in relation to the qualities of technical and technological solutions were adopted to valid requirements in European Union.
This undertaking possessed the priority in The Strategy of Regional Development and was situated on the lists of province and central priorities.

The project in the direct way contributes to completion the vision of Koszalin as the city in which the principle of sustainable development is implemented.
