The heat is provided in the form of hot water (rarely this is steam but increasingly systems are moving towards circulating lower temperature, ‘ambient’ warmth). Typically, where a DHN spans multiple buildings, heat exchangers are used to separate hydraulically a central system from local, building systems, allowing different pressures and rates of circulation and easier control of temperatures (and ownership) in local buildings. In Scotland, the Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021 (and subsequent secondary legislation) introduced a regulatory system for DHN (which is outside the scope of this note).
