Heating and cooling with wastewater – Wienkanal
THERMAFLEX DEMO PROJECT: Use of waste heat from wastewater for heating and cooling
This demo is part of the lead-project ThermaFLEX that has been completed successfully. Download the final report.
Use of waste heat from wastewater for heating and cooling the new headquarters of Wien Kanal in Vienna-Blumental.
ThermaFLEX answers the following research questions:
- Concept for the smart use of renewable energy from municipal wastewater
Heating 215 kW (max. 450 kW) to the heat pump
– Cooling 400 kW (max. 500 kW) to the heat pump - Construction and installation of specific heat exchangers
- Development and installation of innovative monitoring for
- Support operation of the heating / cooling center
- Monitoring influence on sewer operation (temperature, level, etc.)
The following model solutions are being developed in the Heating and cooling with wastewater – Wienkanal project:
INNOVATIVE WASTE HEAT UTILIZATION IN DISTRICT HEATING SYSTEMS
Media reports on the project
Renewable wastewater energy reduces dependence on natural gas
The energy transition, in particular the phase-out of natural gas, has taken on a new urgency due to the war in Ukraine and the tense relationship between West and East. Quickly available, renewable and politically less volatile energy sources are in demand - the technology is already available in Austria, now it is time to roll it out as quickly as possible. Energy generation from waste water, for example, is said to have great potential...
