The government has set a target: by 2035 all new heating systems in UK homes to be energy-efficient.
Currently, 85% of UK homes use gas boilers for heating, making it one of the most polluting sectors of the economy. The Government's announcement coincides with the plan to cut Britain's reliance on fossil fuel heating as stipulated in COP26. In a bid to meet its aims, District Heating or Heat Networks, a practice adopted with huge success throughout much of Europe, is being proposed. Heat networks supply heat from a central source to consumers, via a network of heavily insulated underground pipes, carrying hot water. Many possible technologies can provide the input to a heat network, including power stations, energy from waste, industrial processes, and more. No matter which method, a heat network is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing carbon emissions from heating and the success is demonstrated by Copenhagen being almost entirely sufficient on district heating, and around 65% of housing in Denmark as a whole. One complication, however, is the much larger pipe network that comes from the thick insulation. The Ravetti drilling machines, sold exclusively by Pipeline Technology covers pipe diameters 8" - 24". Another is the temperature of the media in the pipe. The hot water can be carried at temperatures of 120°C, where many machines will fail. ALL revolutionary Ravetti FlowStop Equipment can be used on District Heating by simply swapping the O rings.
