The main purpose of this work is to study the applicability of the hardware and software complex “Monitoring system for the technical condition of track equipment” to monitor the performance of track operations. The methodological base of study is formed on the basis of the analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists and the systematization of statistical data on the organization of the system of technical operation of track machines at enterprises of the West Siberian Railway. As a result of the study, it was proved that the functional of the system for remote monitoring of the technical condition of track equipment, which was developed by the specialists of the Siberian State Transport University, allows for continuous monitoring of the performance of track operations. Quality control of works is carried out on the basis of an estimation of parameters of functioning of working elements of the track equipment involved in the process of work performance. The application of the developed software and hardware complex allows significantly reducing the financial losses of railway transport enterprises associated with the repeated performance of track operations. The problems to be solved with the help of the proposed control system correspond to the priority areas of the Strategy for the Development of Railway Transport in the Russian Federation until 2030 in the development and implementation of means for automating control of infrastructure.

Results of application in agricultural enterprise of multifunctional energotechnological assembly for heat treatment of agricultural production are given.

In feed production, scientists suggest using high-quality plant culture, soy, to replace animal protein. Soy cannot be fed without pre-heat treatment due to the presence of anti-nutritional substances in it. Analysis of existing technology has shown that micronization, roasting, ultra-high-frequency processing, extrusion, autoclaving, and others are used to remove anti-nutritional substances. These methods are energy-intensive and have a complex design. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a scheme and a working sample of a plant for cooling soybeans using a non-water vibrating conveyor and conduct research on its operation. (Materials and methods) Authors applied methods of system analysis and synthesis of existing knowledge in the field of ongoing research on the development of energy-saving soybean cooler, based on the provisions of the theory of heat and mass transfer. The article presents flow diagram of the cooling of soy. The vibrations of the chute of a non-drive conveyor in the cooling chamber are carried out from the vibration drive of the main conveyor due to the use of the reactive energy of its spring. (Results and discussion) It was revealed experimentally that in regions with a moderate climate and an outdoor temperature of 8-10 degrees Celsius, tempered soy can be cooled to the normalized values when it moves in the cooling chamber for 105-140 seconds. In regions of the country with a long period of high temperatures (20-25 degrees Celsius) of outdoor air, the cooling efficiency of tempered soybeans decreases. (Conclusions) The article presents the design parameters of the soybean cooling chamber for warm climate conditions. Authors developed and tested a working sample of the installation. The proposed technical solution provides a reduction in energy consumption compared to traditionally used equipment by up to 30 percent.

В условиях постоянного роста цен на потребляемую энергию и конкуренции на внутреннем рынке у сельских товаропроизводителей существует проблема по снижению энергозатрат, так как они составляют существенную долю в себестоимости сельскохозяйственной продукции. Особенно велики затраты энергии при термической обработки мясомолочной продукции и зерна. Снизить затраты энергии на тепловые цели можно вторичным отбором теплоты и использованием еѐ в конкретном технологическом процессе. Для расчета параметров рекуператора теплоты, вторично использующего тепловую энергию от термически обработанной сои, представлена методика инженерного расчета.
