District heating monitoring
The service describes the implementation options for district heating monitoring based on LoRaWAN communication protocol.
Companies and municipal utilities are often operating district heating networks which are delivering heating energy for facilities or warm water. This service offers the technical solution for the monitoring of different parameters within the heating process.
Multiple sensors are monitoring the temperature, pressure and heating flow during the process and sending the data via the LoRaWAN communication protocol to a gateway which redirects the data flow to the central server. The data can be monitored in real-time and moreover alerts for specific events can be created. The communication works bi-directional, that means that control signals back to specific actuators can be send remotely.
The value for the operator is a real-time monitoring option and a location-independent controlling possibilities. The user can interact directly with the system and reduce the downtimes of the system. As an an example low temperatures which leads to ice in the plumbing can be detected preventatively. Another example are leaks in the pipes which can be discovered by pressure decrease.

The heating sensor is collecting the temperature, pressure and flow velocity data. This sensor data than flows over the LoRaWAN communication network to the central data storage of the service provider. The data will be than provided via web service and can be viewed on the end device.
