Since 1996, REVOS has been gradually developing and improving its CHS regulatory system of the Týn nad Vltavou municipality. It is based on the Trend Controls (IWKA) regulation system.
The heat from the heat pipeline is passed to the municipality via a central exchange station (CES) with an output of 30MW. The heat pipeline then passes through multiple exchange stations (ES) to change into a hotline. Most buildings also have their own local heat exchange units (LEU).
One of such objects is the Malá Strana residential complex on the left bank of Vltava River. The exchange station is shared with the local school and a number of private homes. Twin-pipe systems provide heat locally to about 60 buildings with their own LEUs.
There are about 8 ESs on the right bank of Vltava River. Some provide heat for the historical town center, others provide heat for the Hlinky residential complex.
A multipurpose cultural and sports center Sokolovna was reconstructed in the year 2009. The heating of this building is provided by 2 hot-water ESs and 4 VZTs. The systems are regulated by the Trend Controls system.
Most of the heating system buildings, including the LEUs, are connected to a communication network and monitored from a monitoring center of VT a.s.
Týn nad Vltavou is a perfect example of a successful deployment of a central heating system. The price of heating energy remains stable for the customers not only because of the source from the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant but also because of the well-planned investment into the CHS.
