Plate heat exchangers for WarmtelinQ
N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie and the Port of Rotterdam are working on a new district heating connection under the name WarmtelinQ. The pipeline ‘Leiding over Noord’ in Vlaardingen will transport hot water (118 °C) to the Uniper facility in Den Haag. At various heat transfer stations (WOS), plate heat exchangers (PHE) are used to transfer the heat to the local district heating networks. After the heat transfer, the cold water (68 °C) is returned to the heat source for reheating. Each WOS requires at least two PHEs. The tender concerns the supply of these PHEs and is a competitive procedure with negotiation. The contracting authority is looking for suppliers with experience in industrial heat exchangers, knowledge of Dutch regulations, and the ability to deliver on short notice.

Gasunie together with the Port of Rotterdam are jointly preparing a district heating connection between the existing pipeline “Leiding over Noord” in Vlaardingen and the Uniper power station facility at De Constant Rebecqueplein (CR plein) in The Hague, The Netherlands. This pipeline will fall under the banner WarmtelinQ. WarmtelinQ will transport hot water (118°C) from the heat suppliers to the several heat transfer stations (Dutch: Warmteoverdracht stations). Here the heat will be transferred to connected district distribution grids via plate heat exchangers. After heat transfer, cold water
