The article is devoted to solving the problem of increasing the efficiency of solid fuel boilers ’ blast control systems. Existing algorithms for calculating losses with outgoing gases, the value of which determines the efficiency of the boiler blow control system, have significant disadvantages due to either high complexity of calculations or insufficient accuracy of the Siegert formula. The authors of the article experimentally confirmed the limitations of practical application of the Siegert formula in the logic of solid fuel boiler blow control systems. To eliminate the identified shortcomings, a new formula for calculating losses with outgoing gases is proposed, which can be used in solid-fuel boiler blast control systems, which has a sufficiently high accuracy and, at the same time, low computational complexity.

Autoclaves used for the manufacture of parts from polymer composite materials (PCM) for structural purposes are equipment that consumes a significant amount of energy. In the manufacture of parts of a monolithic design from PCM in 2 transitions in order to reduce energy consumption, it was proposed: during the first molding, reduce the main exposure time, which reduced the operating time of the autoclave tens. In the workpiece, the complete polymerization of the adhesive binder occurs during the second molding transition. Also, it was proposed to manufacture parts of a honeycomb structure from adhesive prepregs for one molding with an autoclave under-molding at an elevated temperature instead of the first molding. The formation of a monolithic zone of honeycomb parts in one cycle eliminated the formation of unacceptable defects: “delamination” and “increased attenuation of the ultrasonic signal.” A change in the technology of molding PCM parts has reduced manufacturing time, labor and energy consumption compared to the previously used mode in 2 transitions. The quality of gluing parts according to this advanced technology is confirmed by the results of acoustic control and mechanical tests.
