Abstract

During 1990-1992 the behaviour of consumer heat load curves were measured and analyzed in Finland. Ekono Energy coordinated the measurement programme, analyzed and reported the results. The research project concentrated on the following subjects: Residential consumer`s behaviour curves before and after the renovation of the consumer substation and additionally in some cases after the improvement of the thermal insulation of a house (1990-92); Domestic hot water consumption of residential houses based on one minute and one hour time steps; Seasonal and daily heat load curves of different kinds of supermarkets and shops. The results concerning the domestic hot water load showed that: The domestic hot water consumption has seasonal variations even though it does not serve any space heating equipment; The annual domestic hot water consumption represents about 40 % of the total domestic water consumption of a house; The domestic hot water heat exchangers in every case were too big, which has increased investment costs; Compared with old houses, the instantaneous peak load has reduced, because flow limiting devices have been installed in taps and showers and bathtubs have become rare. The results concerning the renovation of a substation indicated that: The difference of supply and return water temperatures  More>>
