Example 1: After one year a heat installation has used 250 m
3
of district heating water and the average
temperatures have been 95
°
C in flow and 45
°
C in return.
TA2 = 23750 and TA 3 = 11250.
Example 2: It is required that the average temperatures are measured with the annual reading and
therefore TA2 and TA3 are included in the annual reading.

Table 12
Average flow temperature for the year = 28113/297.39 = 94.53

Average return temperature for the year = 11003/297.39 = 36.99

E=5 Return temperature tariff
If the actual return temperature (t
R
), in
°
C, exceeds TL2, but is lower than TL3, the thermal energy will be
counted in both in TA2 and the main register. If the actual return temperature exceeds TL3, thermal energy
will be counted in both TA3 and the main register.

Table 13
During set-up of data TL3 must naturally be higher than TL2.
The return temperature tariff can be used as basis for weighted user payment. A high return temperature
indicates insufficient heat utilization and is uneconomical for the heat supplier.
