EVALUATION METHOD OF UNDERGROUND THERMAL NETWORKS' THERMAL LOSSES

Abstract

As a result of considerable thermal losses from underground thermal networks energy consumption of the system of heating and financial charges on its maintenance and additional acquisition of power resources grows sharply. Repair and replacement of the damaged areas of pipelines of thermal networks takes place very slowly through considerable material charges and long time on the search of damage sites.

Existent methods and devices are considered in the given article for the exposure of thermal losses and search of sites of damage of underground thermal networks. The structure of device by means which it is possible to carry out evaluation of thermal losses and quickly find the places of their origin and conduct authentication of damages of pipelines is offered. The model of distribution of thermal stream is considered from pipelines and the evaluation method of thermal losses is developed.
