DHN Deep Geothermal¤

Introduction¤

District heating is a system for distributing heat from a centralized source to consumers via a network of underground insulated pipes carrying hot water. Centralized heat generation avoids the need for individual boilers or electric heaters in every building. This technology considers the direct use of a Geothermal well at 4.2 km depth for district heating application.
