The station normally has one or more of the following parts:

• Heat exchanger - to split primary and secondary side of the system
• Control valve - to regulate the flow through the heat exchanger
• Heat meter - to measure energy consumption and allocate costs
• Strainer - to remove particles that could block heat exchanger or control valve
• Shutdown valve - to stop the flow on primary side in case of service or emergency
• Differential pressure controller - to balance the network and improve working conditions of control valve
• Temperature controller - to control temperature on secondary side by regulating the flow on primary side
• Temperature sensor - to sense flow and return temperatures required for temperature control

In addition, a district heating substation may also include:

• Pump
• Manometer
• Safety valve
• Non-return valve

• Cold district heating

• Residential Heating
