One of the energy-efficient technologies is the use of injectors in heat supply systems. Steam-water injectors are very sensitive to changes in the thermodynamic parameters of water and steam. The operating range of such devices is limited to boiling liquids. The search for ranges of thermodynamic parameters that ensure the operation of the injector in real conditions of functioning of heating networks is an urgent task. The maximum energy-saving effect can be achieved by replacing devices that reduce steam pressure by injectors in which there will be a simultaneous decrease in steam pressure, heat transfer between steam and return network water to achieve the necessary thermodynamic parameters of the mixed flow. The article presents the results of modeling the operation of a steam-water injector with a cylindrical mixing chamber, taking into account the actual values of temperatures and pressures in the heating network. With constant parameters of hot steam, the possible ranges of the injector for the temperatures and pressures necessary for the implementation of temperature schedules for regulating heating networks are determined. The procedure for identifying input parameters that ensure the implementation of temperature schedules of heating networks has been carried out. Equations are obtained that allow one to determine the temperature of the water leaving the injector from the injection coefficient for the found working pressure ranges of the injected water.
The work is devoted to the search for methods for calculating the heat consumption of multi-apartment residential buildings for heating and hot water supply, which allows obtaining the closest results to the actual ones. Three current methods of calculating heat consumption and one canceled, but often used in heat supply contracts, were used. Based on a comparison of the actual data obtained by the common-house heat energy metering devices and the calculated values, the possible deviations in the heat consumption of multi-apartment residential buildings of different floors, area and year of construction, ranging from 49.73 to 177.77%, were found. An economic assessment of the consequences of using the most inadequate methods has been carried out. It was found that when using methods with extreme error values, payments for the heat supply service from one house can differ by 3.6 times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
