Plate heat exchangers for WarmtelinQ
Gasunie and the Port of Rotterdam are working on a district heating connection, WarmtelinQ, which transports hot water (118 °C) from heat suppliers to heat transfer stations (WOS). In the WOS, the heat transfer takes place via plate heat exchangers, after which the cooling water (68 °C) returns to the suppliers. At least two plate heat exchangers are required for each WOS. The contract concerns the supply of these heat exchangers, including installation and coordination with the existing pipeline ‘Leiding over Noord’ and the Uniper facility in Den Haag. The heat exchangers must meet high temperature and corrosion resistance requirements, comply with Dutch safety and environmental legislation, and be suitable for continuous operation in a district heating network.

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
