Heat

The way we generate and distribute energy and heat is changing. Hydrogen, green gas, heat pumps, privately generated solar and wind energy and heat networks require continuous attention for reliable energy and heat supply in a safe and clean environment.

Energy and heat distribution companies, energy suppliers, installers, engineering firms, housing associations, end users and regulators can rely on Kiwa for in-depth knowledge about heat technology. In addition, asset managers, technicians, implementers and policymakers can attend heat technology training courses at Kiwa.

  • Permeation and chemical compatibility

    Kiwa is your partner for assessing the chemical compatibility and material performance of applied materials and the corresponding tests like permeation, immersion or rapid gas decompression tests. Testing material samples, pipes, components or even complete systems is possible.

  • Assessment of sleeve connections for heat energy distribution networks

    The quality of (city) heating networks depends to a significant extent on the quality of the connections in the pipelines. Leaks that allow water ingress, which often occur in sleeve connections, can lead to degradation of the insulation with all the resulting effects on thermal insulation performance

  • Test possibilities materials

    Problems in pipelines are often caused by the joints. Kiwa Technology has built up vast experience. For example, we have used our expertise in the area of plastic welding (of PE, PEX, PA, PP etc.) and other jointing techniques for years to support our consultancy regarding research and development projects.

  • Product assessments

    If you have, or are developing, a new product in the area of heat energy distribution, such as delivery sets or heat pump systems, you obviously want to be sure that this product is as good as possible and that it complies with all the relevant standards.

  • Benchmarking

    Benchmarking is one of the possibilities for improving the quality of your organisation and/or processes. If you wish to achieve the objectives that you have set, for example, for your asset management, you will have to translate them into specific, measurable, objective and consistent indicators.

  • Analysis of damage for heat energy distribution networks

    Damage that occurs in a heat energy distribution network can soon lead to substantial costs. These costs are not only associated with repairing the network but also with indirect damage suffered by users who are unable to draw off the heat energy they require.

  • Risk Management and Analyses

    The added value of Risk Based Asset Management (e.g. according to PAS55 or NTA 8120) can be broken down into a number of internal and external benefits.

  • Data Management and Analysis

    You probably collect large quantities of data about your network, including, for example, inspection reports for stations, pipeline leakage detection details, breakdown records or other information.
