    The overall number of boiler units in the territory of Prague is slightly decreasing, the most frequent among them being boilers delivering 0.2 to 5 MW. It is most often in this group that a boiler unit is replaced by a heat exchanger (connected to the hot water pipeline from Melník).  The overall consumption of fuels in these units between 1985 and 1997 shows a decreasing trend.  There is a visible trend to replace solid and liquid fuels by gaseous substances which accounted for approximately 74 % of the total consumption in 1997.
