Heat Recovery in District Heating Substations

Recovering heat at the substation

District heating substations vent warm return and ventilation air that can be recovered. Air-to-air cores capture this low-grade heat for nearby make-up air or preheating.

Approach

Plate and, where humidity allows, enthalpy cores recover sensible and latent heat from building exhaust within the substation energy loop.

Why it matters

Substation-level recovery improves overall network efficiency and supports decarbonization targets for urban heating.
