5th Generation Heat Networks (5GDHC)

---

• Project Range: From 5-dwelling developments to multi-megawatt urban energy zones

• Heat Network Types:
  • Single-pipe systems: Circular low-temperature loop; heat pumps at end-user level
  • Twin-pipe systems: Separate warm and cold loops for higher control and performance
     
• Temperature Bands:
  • Supply and return loop temperatures typically range from 10°C to 30°C, maximizing heat pump efficiency
  • System COP is dynamically optimized based on ambient conditions
     

• 5GDHC is ideal for dense urban environments where:
  • Retrofit of existing heat infrastructure is limited 
  • Multiple end-users have diverse thermal demands (e.g., residential heating + commercial cooling)
  • Circular energy recovery is possible (e.g., supermarket cooling waste heat used for domestic heating)
     
• Our systems are fully sensor-integrated and weather-responsive, ensuring:
  • Real-time thermal balancing
  • Peak shaving during high demand
  • Maximum seasonal performance factor (SPF)

In a mixed-use building zone, cooling demand from one building (like a supermarket or data center) generates low-grade waste heat. This heat is captured and reused in nearby buildings needing heating or hot water, all via the same low-temperature loop. Each building has an independent heat pump that extracts or injects energy as needed. The loop never needs to reach high temperatures—keeping distribution losses minimal.

• We deploy AI-based smart control systems that:
  • Predict and react to outdoor temperatures
  • Maintain high COP values through proactive modulation
  • Enable energy sharing between users via predictive load shifting
     

Whether for brownfield urban retrofits or greenfield sustainable districts, our 5GDHC systems:

• Are scalable and modular 
• Reduce peak loads on the grid
• Enable fully decarbonized heating and cooling
