Heat exchangers capture residual heat for Ghent sustainability project
Heat grid runs on residual heat
North of Ghent, a first for Belgium and environs graces the skyline: ‘De Nieuwe Dokken’, a residential project where maximum sustainability is key. One of the project’s main energy pillars is the heat grid Callens was involved in. That grid conveys the residual heat from a nearby production plant to the project’s new residents.
Central heating boiler and heat exchangers combined with thermal oil system
Callens got the job done with a 1,300 KW central hearing boiler and two heat exchangers. That system captures the residual heat that would otherwise be lost. As it happens, the nearby production plant uses a thermal oil system Callens installed that heats and cools the oil for its processes in a minimum of time. Thanks to this addition, the residual heat is at long last being put to good use.
