The flat stati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>cept has a netenergy saving due to less installed hot pipes. Energysavings are in the range of 2 to 4 kWh/m^2/y for theinvestigated cases. Comfort level has beeninvestigated, revealing well acceptable dynamic c<strong>on</strong>trolperformance. Dhw temperature recovery after an idleperiod for the instantaneous preparati<strong>on</strong> of dhw is,however, a trade-off between comfort <strong>and</strong> energysaving. Related to Legi<strong>on</strong>ella, then risk can be reducedwhen installing flat stati<strong>on</strong>s as presented in this paper.REFERENCES[1] Kristjanss<strong>on</strong>, H.

Box 118,221 00 Lund, Sweden, Ph<strong>on</strong>e: + 46 46 222 40 43, Fax: + 46 46 222 47 17ABSTRACT<strong>District</strong> heating (DH), which is the most comm<strong>on</strong> heatsource in multifamily houses <strong>and</strong> commercial buildingsin Sweden, can be produced in several different type ofproducti<strong>on</strong> units.In order to gain thermal efficiency in a DH system it isimportant that DH supply <strong>and</strong> return temperatures arekept low. The temperature dem<strong>and</strong> in the DH system is,during the heating seas<strong>on</strong>, dependent <strong>on</strong> thetemperature level in the heating system of the DHc<strong>on</strong>nected buildings. Many producti<strong>on</strong> units benefit froma lowered DH return temperature, while others are moreaffected by a reduced supply temperature. In a CHPstati<strong>on</strong>the heat to power ratio will increase when theDH supply temperature is decreasing. In order to reducethe temperature dem<strong>and</strong>, low temperature heatingsystems are of interest, as well as systems resulting in alow DH return temperature.To increase the heat output in an existing radiatorheating system, the radiators can be complementedwith small electric fans resulting in an increased shareof forced c<strong>on</strong>vecti<strong>on</strong> in the heating system. Field studieshave shown that the heat output, with c<strong>on</strong>stant supplytemperature <strong>and</strong> mass flow through the radiator, canincrease with more than 50%.INTRODUCTIONFor many years, return temperatures in DH networkshave been an important issue for DH research. A lowDH return temperature is in many cases favorable forthe DH producti<strong>on</strong> units. However, if also the supplytemperature could be kept at a low level the share ofelectricity produced in a CHP stati<strong>on</strong> could increase.This would lead the way towards an increased share ofelectricity produced by n<strong>on</strong> fossil fuels. In Sweden morethan 30 % of the DH is produced in CHP stati<strong>on</strong>s [4].In many reports the gain from a reduced temperaturelevel in the DH network has been discussed <strong>and</strong>quantified in ec<strong>on</strong>omic terms, see e.g. [12], [13].The DH supply temperature level in the DH network is,during heating seas<strong>on</strong>, dependent of the temperaturedem<strong>and</strong> in the DH-c<strong>on</strong>nected buildings heating system.In modern buildings low temperature heating systemsare comm<strong>on</strong>, which may allow reduced DH temperaturelevel. In order to reduce the temperature dem<strong>and</strong> inexisting buildings the idea of using small add-<strong>on</strong>-fanblowers placed under the radiator to increase the heatoutput due to an increased share of forced c<strong>on</strong>vecti<strong>on</strong>came up.ObjectiveThe field study presented in this paper investigates thepossibility to reduce the space heating temperatureprogram <strong>and</strong> estimates the impact <strong>on</strong> the DH supply<strong>and</strong> return temperature. Possible reducti<strong>on</strong> of the DHflowrate is also calculated.This paper is focusing <strong>on</strong> buildings indirectly c<strong>on</strong>nectedto the DH network through a substati<strong>on</strong> with heatexchangers (HEX).DESCRIPTION OF ADD-ON-FAN BLOWERThe add-<strong>on</strong>-fan blower that is tested in this studyc<strong>on</strong>sists of several regular DC motor driven fans,originally used for cooling, mounted under a radiator,see Fig. 1.

The company describes thefeatures of the add-<strong>on</strong>-fan blower as a possibility toreduce the temperature program without replacing theradiators, with the aim to reduce the electricity dem<strong>and</strong>for buildings supplied with heat from heat pumps [5].22
