Considering the existing conditions in Greece, even
thought the residential heating oil demand was reduced in
recent years, the need for heat in residual sector and sanitary
hot water remains at the same levels. Following the
results presented there is a potential for 35000MWhth/y.
Based on the fact that this energy is coming from low
enthalpy steam, the utilisation is limited. Thus, it could be
used only for small-scale district heating applications and
production of sanitary hot water, or heating of water in
swimming pools, replacing common diesel oil used in such
applications. Considering that 1 MWh equals 0.086 toe or
103.2 L of oil equivalent, then, this energy could be equal
to 3010 toe or 3612000 L, thus mainly reducing the oil
consumption on the residential sector [24].
