Kerem Algüzey, design engineer at ENKA Insaat ve Sanayi A.S., used AFT Fathom to simulate the central heating cycle to inform the design of the hydraulic thermal system for the Dradenau Combined Heat and Power Plant under construction in Hamburg, Germany.
This state-of-the-art facility will produce 180 MW of electrical capacity and an additional 260 MW of district heating utilizing multiple heat sources including waste heat from industrial processes and a natural gas power plant. AFT Fathom was used to size pumps, heat exchangers, and control valves, and to validate line sizing to ensure that piping was within design requirements for the system.
