Le réseau de chaleur, également appelé réseau de chauffage urbain, équivaut à des équipements collectifs de distribution de chaleur, produite sous forme de vapeur ou d'eau chaude par plusieurs unités de production. Le fluide est acheminé par des canalisations (le réseau de distribution) desservant les immeubles équipés de postes de livraison (les sous-stations). La vapeur ou l'eau chaude cède une partie de ses calories aux installations de l'immeuble. Un réseau de chaleur fonctionne en circuit fermé : il comprend donc toujours au moins deux canalisations : l'une pour conduire le fluide vers les utilisateurs, l'autre pour le retour du fluide, lorsqu'il s'agit d'un réseau vapeur, vers les centrales de production. Le réseau de chauffage urbain implique donc trois éléments fondamentaux : Les centres de production, le réseau de distribution, les postes de livraison. 4, record 7, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20de%20chauffage%20urbain
