Optimization of the design of horizontal water heating systems with apartment stations
Incoming article date: 28.10.2024Modern designs of water heating systems are saturated with different types of regulators, but their use is more often justified not by a systematic approach, but by solutions necessary for the operation of the system in its individual parts. The objectives of the presented work are to obtain and systematize experimental data to study the variable hydraulic mode of operation of horizontal water heating systems using apartment stations. In this paper, a problem in the field of development of modern water heating systems that needs to be solved is formulated. The analysis of the schematic solution of the heating system, as well as possible design options, was carried out. A simulation of the multivariate hydraulic mode of operation of the heating system of an apartment building was carried out on the simulator stand. The results of an experimental study are presented, and based on changes in design costs and the value of the adjustable pressure drop in parts of the system, proposals are made to reduce the cost of water heating systems for buildings under construction, as well as suggesting an increase in the ease of setup and quality of system regulation.
