Vestmannaeyjar
The water that is used for heating is the same as the drinking
water that flows from the Eyjafjalla glacier, and it is pumped
through seapipes to Vestmannaeyjar. The electrical energy that
is used for steam production comes from surplus energy from
Landsvirkjun. Along with the electrical energy, thermal energy
from the Sorpeyðingarstöð in Vestmannaeyjar is utilized along
with thermal energy from the fishmeal plant in Vestmannaeyjar
when they are running. About 15% of the energy comes from this
process. An 20 MW electrode boiler produces steam which goes
into two 10MW thermal exchange pipes which heat up the water,
which is then pumped through the distribution system. In the
heating station of HS near Kirkjuveg the water is heated and
recirculated through the distribution system. Velocity
controlled pumps pump the water into the distribution system,
which is divided into two: a upper and lower distribution system.
