IMPROVEMENT OF THERMOHYDRAULIC REGIMES OF HEAT PIPELINES IN THE CONDITIONS OF UNSTABLE HEAT CONSUMPTION

Abstract

The paper presents the technique for improvement of heat pipelines thermohydraulic regimes under the unstable heat consumption conditions. Different schemes of connection of heat consumers to the heat network are considered and analyzed. The algorithm was developed for performing ECM calculations and the relationships of the network water consumption rates at a heat station in case of different schemes of heaters connection were derived. The promising directions to increase the district heating networks economical efficiency and operation reliability by using block automated individual heating stations were determined.
