District Heating and Cooling

Subtask C

The Research / IEA DHC Annexes / 2021-2025 / Annex TS6 / Subtask C

Lifetime prediction

The overall objective:Prediction of service life of a district heating system is a challenge due to a wide range of degradation mechanisms in polymer-based materials, metals and concrete including thermal, chemical and mechanical degradation and also combined effects. The overall goal of ST C is to elaborate appropriate mathematical models that can allow extrapolation of short-time data to predict long-term performance of DHPs.

Work iteams are:

  • C.1: Lifetime prediction of pre-insulated bonded DH pipes

  • C2: Lifetime prediction of new polymer-based media pipes and insulation materials

  • C.3:Lifetime prediction of metal and concrete pipes
