In this paper, we analyzed the thermo-physical properties of landfill gas, which can be used in the system of communal services of the city from specialized landfills for collecting municipal solid waste. Authors do not yet consider ways of delivering this type of fuel to subscribers, but imply as an option of possible technologies that there is a storage facility and an industrial factory for cleaning and condensation landfill gas for further use in the communal system of the city. There are Graphs of changes in various indicators of landfill gas in this article. This study can be used to predict energy conservation not only of large cities, but also of small settlements from the use of an alternative energy source - landfill gas. Its main characteristic (in terms of thermal physics) is the lower calorific value of the fuel. It depends on the composition and moisture of the gas. The report discusses the methodology for studying the lower calorific value of landfill gas, based on the chemical balance of this fuel. Another important characteristic is the environmental effect. Reducing emissions of landfill gas decrease the greenhouse effect, which has a negative impact on the Earth’s atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. It could be provided for the production of electrical energy, as well as a combination of electric and thermal. There is the possibility of producing hydrogen for a fuel cell. However, this requires independent economic, environmental and energy comparison of various technologies for using of landfill gas in the engineering infrastructure of the city, as well as different methods of transporting and producing energy-efficient condensate compressed landfill gas (the best option when the methane content in this fuel is like natural gas).

Introduction. Authors considers a new method of cooling some functional areas in a city sewage pumping station. They have used the works of Isachenko V.A., Osipov V.A., Sukomel A.S., Bogoslovsky V.N. to simulate the PLI panel’s stationary thermal regime. Materials and methods. Authors have considered the mathematical modeling of stationary and non-stationary thermal phenomena in the PLI panel in this paper. There are the possibilities of modeling the thermal modes of the panel PLI which depending on the place of installation of this device. Authors have given the theoretical characteristics of the heated air in this device and some results of survey in a high voltage urban waste water pumping station in Moscow. There are the heat inputs and heat losses calculations of PLI panel’s various structural elements which carried out using the theory of similarity in this article. Researchers considered the possibility of use other empirical results to determine some of the coefficients which involved in modeling. It has been presented different heat transfer coefficients which could be used in thermal conditions model of PLI panel. There are the validation of the developed models which proved by comparing the deviations in the heat balance equation of the PLI panel. Results. Authors has developed a physical and mathematical model of PLI panel’s thermal modes for a sewage pimping station. Authors have given the recommendations on the possibility of using the different heat transfer coefficients in PLI panel’s thermal conditions modeling process. A numerical experiment was carried out to simulate one PLI panel under the conditions of a sewage pumping station by researchers in this paper. Conclusions. According to the information, this physical and mathematical model can be used for engineering calculation when engineer is selecting the characteristics of PLI panel and also it could be used to clarifying the distributions of heat flow from PLI panel.
