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 (68°C) will be returned to the heat suppliers where the water will be heated up again. For each heat transfer stations at least 2 plate heat exchangers are needed.
