Unique solution
Combining the new and the existing district heating networks required that the old valves in the system had to be replaced. This was a challenge for ISOPLUS UK, because 46 m³ water had to be drained off and then
replenished again. This would have meant an expansive and prolonged shutdown with mayor inconveniences to the university. Therefore, ISOPLUS UK decided on a unique solution, which allowed the campus to maintain normal activities during the installation of our new series 2 of Ø 219/355 valves. The solution was to cryogenically freeze the existing network.
