Horizontal versus Vertical Heat Distribution in Multi-Storey Buildings

Abstract:

The paper studies the effects of implementing international policies on individual metering of consumers supplied from district heating systems. The work compares case studies on horizontal and vertical distribution of space heating into multi-story buildings. Moreover, the effect of hydronic balancing by valves and differential pressure regulators is in the focus. The results of the paper point out that pressure losses in a horizontal balanced distribution network are lower than in a vertical balanced distribution network. Concluding, horizontal distribution is both energy efficient and in accordance to sustainability recommendations concerning fair distribution and metering of heat.
