Improvement of hydraulic parameters of heat supply water heating boilers

Abstract

Practical and theoretical research has been carried out to optimize thermal energy use and incorporate energy-saving methods in consumption and production processes. This article presents an analysis of research on heat transfer by improving its hydraulic parameters in order to increase the energy efficiency of water heating boilers designed for heat supply of private residences and social facilities today. The research includes both practical experiments and theoretical analysis to ensure efficient thermal energy utilization. A program was developed to use the least squares method for analyzing test results on pipes of various cross-sections, aimed at evaluating the efficiency of heat transfer surfaces. The study found that pipes with corrugated inner walls in heat exchangers exhibited 15-20% higher efficiency compared to regular pipes, enhancing the plant's thermal energy efficiency. Implementing the proposed device for boiler pipes in manufacturing enterprises could allow for the construction of additional facilities, such as greenhouses, fruit drying shops, and service buildings. This innovation enables the production and use of low-cost hot water, potentially generating additional income in the production of bricks or porcelain.
