Busan Strengthens Safety Management of Haeundae District Heating Facilities for Winter Season Promoting Stable Heat Supply

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that, in preparation for the winter season, it is continuously implementing multiple initiatives to enhance the efficient operation of the Haeundae Green City district heating supply facilities and improve citizen convenience. These initiatives include the stable management of heating rates, training programs for heating facility managers, and strengthened safety management of supply facilities.

Despite global fluctuations in energy prices, the city has been maintaining stable district heating rates in Haeundae to help stabilize citizens’ daily lives and alleviate cost burdens. To reduce heating production costs, Busan actively utilizes free incineration heat and waste heat from fuel cells, while minimizing the operation of LNG boilers. These measures enhance the efficiency of heat source operations, ensuring both energy savings and supply stability.

On November 5 at 2 p.m., Busan will host a training session at the multipurpose auditorium of the Jwa 4-dong Community Center in Haeundae District to strengthen the expertise and on-site response capacity of heating facility managers.
The session will be led by experts from professional district heating companies and will focus on practical, field-oriented topics such as understanding automated district heating control systems and effective management of heat exchange systems.

Approximately 100 participants—including heating facility managers and resident representatives from apartment complexes within Haeundae Green City—are expected to attend.

Through this training, Busan aims to enhance the technical skills and safety management capabilities of heating facility managers, thereby improving the quality of district heating services and contributing to a stable and reliable heat supply closely connected to citizens’ daily lives.

Details of the Haeundae District Heating Facility Manager Training

• ●Date and Time: November 5, 2025 (Wednesday), 14:00–16:30

• ●Venue: Multipurpose Auditorium, 4th Floor, Jwa 4-dong Community Center (186 Yangun-ro, Haeundae-gu)

• ●Participants: Approximately 100 heating facility managers and resident representatives

• ●Content: Operation methods, self-diagnosis, and management plans for heating facilities (heat exchangers, valves, etc.)

• ●Organizer: Busan Environmental Corporation

In addition, the city will intensify inspections of aging heat transmission pipes and enhance safety management of supply facilities to prepare for possible cold waves and surges in heat demand during winter. This effort aims to establish a preventive safety management system and provide uninterrupted district heating services that citizens can depend on.

The city will maintain a continuous monitoring system to detect any early signs of pipeline anomalies and will pay particular attention to vulnerable sections such as areas with abnormal ground temperature variations. Furthermore, Busan will conduct pre-inspections of key equipment—including boilers, heat exchangers, circulation pumps, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems—while also reviewing emergency recovery systems to ensure readiness in case of service disruptions.

Park Dong-seok, Director General of the Advanced Industry Bureau, stated, “District energy systems are vital infrastructure closely tied to citizens’ daily lives, and stable heat supply directly contributes to public convenience. We will continue to integrate advanced technologies, such as high-efficiency equipment operations and drone-based heat transmission inspections, to establish a safe and efficient district energy management system.”
