Combined heat and water system for long-distance heat transportation
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a combine heat and water (CHW) system for long-distance heat transportation, using water in water supply system as heat carrier, which gives heat a free ride to urban area, no needing return water pipeline; thus, it can sharply reduce the costs of transportation.
