Matching thermal needs across a shared infrastructure

Can systems with different temperature requirements share a staged thermal infrastructure more effectively than isolated devices?

Formülasyon

The proposal moves between device, building, and wider infrastructure scales. It later favors a limited prototype whose useful operation could fund further research, and considers routing warmed fluid to a more appropriate stage.

Gerilim

System-wide matching may help where a device-level comparison misses value, but larger infrastructure creates losses and coordination costs.

At what scale does useful matching outweigh distribution, conversion, control, and maintenance costs?
