- 1.5 km specially designed pre-insulated piping system for large-scale solar heating
ISOPLUS delivered joints, alarm system and 1.5 km of continuously produced, pre-designed pipes, which L&H Rørbyg subsequently re-designed as solar collector pipes.
Large-scale Norwegian solar heating
Large-scale solar heating is an important energy resource for counteracting part of the heavily increasing energy prices and the uncertainties related to the future energy supply. Solar heating is important in Norway as well. Investing in solar energy represents new ways of thinking among the Norwegians. However, energy calculations show that solar collectors could become a profitable investment, also in the Scandinavian countries.
People in Lillestrøm take the climate challenge seriously. Here, approximately 15,000 households are heated by the biggest Norwegian large-scale plant in Akershus EnergyPark. In 2011, isoplus started its cooperation with L&H Rørbyg and SUNMARK to provide a complete system of 13,000 m2 of solar collectors, which were put up in the fields near Lillestrøm.
A unique assembly
While ISOPLUS delivered joints, alarm system and 1.5 km of continuously produced, pre-designed pipes, which L&H Rørbyg subsequently re-designed as solar collector pipes, SUNMARK in Svendborg converted the solar collector pipes into a complete assembly. They also transported them to their final destination at Akershus Energi in Lillestrøm. Here, the solar collectors were connected to the district heating network by means of 190 distributor branches.
