Chauffage à vapeur. [...] Pressions utilisées. [...] La basse pression, en principe, ne dépasse pas 0,5 bar et est généralement inférieure à 0,3 bar. La haute pression descend rarement à 0,5 bar. [...] En fait, la vapeur haute pression n'est guère utilisée que pour les transports de chaleur à longue distance, qu'il s'agisse de chauffage urbain desservant toute une ville ou de chauffage d'îlot desservant un groupe d'habitations plus ou moins étendu. 1, record 2, French, - vapeur%20haute%20pression
