CARTIF organizes a workshop on low temperature thermal networks and their future possibilities in residential neighborhoods

On January 10, the CARTIF technology center is organizing a day of innovation in processes and in the design of products and/or services on low-temperature thermal networks and their possibilities and applications in the future in residential neighborhoods, in collaboration with the Institute for the Business Competitiveness (ICE) of Castilla y León within the framework of the Training, Technology Transfer and Support Program for Business R&D&i (Centr@trec3) . The event will take place in the Assembly Hall of the School of Industrial Engineering of the University of Valladolid in an event held only in person.

The current energy context represents a large gap in users and environmental awareness, which is promoting new frameworks to look for other alternative energy sources that are committed to a better environmental impact. In this scenario, heat networks are positioned as a good renewable energy source solution to increase energy security while reducing, in turn, their carbon footprint.

The welcome, by Jesús Jiménez Miguel, territorial director of Valladolid of ICE , and Javier Olmos Herguedas, member of R&D Programs of CARTIF , will be the starting point of a day in which the knowledge of installers and other interest groups on the trends, developments and characteristics of heat networks for their application in residential neighborhoods.

, issues related to R&D trends in district networks , the modeling and design of low and very low temperature networks, or mine water geothermal energy in low temperature networks will be presented led by professionals from CIEMAT, the University of Valladolid and HUNOSA.

Next, biomass and renewable gases in heat networks, the heat pump as an element in low-temperature networks and the transition to low-temperature networks by representatives of SOMACYL, KEYTER and Veolia. The morning will conclude with a round table moderated by Luis Ángel Bujedo, CARTIF researcher, to share conclusions obtained throughout the day.
