Effects of mechanical loads on ageing of prefabricated district heating pipes
The project has investigated how today’s district heating networks can continue to be used over a long period by identifying when and where pipes need to be replaced, in order to avoid unnecessary reinvestments and environmental impact.

Liftetime Predictions and Status Assessments 2022-872
The project has focused on district heating pipes built up of steel service pipes, polyurethane insulation (PUR) and polyethylene casing. The project had two main objectives: A field method should be developed to measure the status of district heating pipelines regarding shear strength and an internationally accepted methodology for service life prediction with respect to lost adhesion would be presented.

Industry collaboration for advanced analysis of heat 2022-867
The goal of the project has been to increase the analytical ability in the district heating sector. Also, how more efficient and faster cycles to develop methods whithin advanced data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence can be established. The project has both responded to various analytical challenges from the industry and also investigated how the industry can collaborate within digital innovation.

Virtual Heating Plants 2021-816
Data centers can replace existing heating plants in a district heating system if the right cooling technology is used and IT hardware can achieve the same power intensity. A testbed has been created to support the technological development of liquid-cooled data centers. The goal is to be able to create excess heat that does not need heat pumps to be used in a district heating network.
