The so-called single heat meters have been widely used in the equipment of individual heat metering units for space heating. The peculiarity of single heat meters is that for them the error in measuring the amount of heat is normalized and experimentally determined without dividing it into the errors of the components. The physical quantities supplied to the heat meter inputs are reproduced тепло the heat carrier consumption and the heat carrier temperature. In this case, the water temperature in the flow unit corresponds to the ambient temperature, and the temperature in the thermostats to the temperatures in the supply and return flows. However, for heat meters based on ultrasonic method of washing the coolant flow with compensation of changes in the speed of ultrasound from the temperature of the coolant, this calibration technique cannot be applied due to a methodological error from replacing the variable speed of ultrasound with a constant value. To ensure the reliability of the verification results, a methodology was developed, according to which the verification is carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the error of the heat meter is determined when measuring the flow rate as the difference between the readings of the heat meter and the reference value of the flow rate reproduced by the spill unit. In this case, the temperature superheater of the heat meter is placed in a thermostat with a temperature equal to the temperature of the water in the pouring unit. This eliminates the methodological error from the temperature mismatch in the thermostat and in the pouring unit. In the second stage, the error of the heat meter is determined when measuring the temperature and calculating the amount of heat. In this case, the reference values in the thermostats and the readings of the heat cell when measuring the consumption of the heat carrier are taken as the reference values of the reproducible values. The total error of a single heat meter is defined as the sum of the errors obtained during the first and second stages of verification. \u0000Conclusion Calibration of heat meters during operation contributes to obtaining reliable results of measurements of the amount of heat consumed in the housing stock, and the development on the basis of these results of measures aimed at the rational use of energy resources.","PeriodicalId":23079,"journal":{"name":"Thermophysics and Thermal Power Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84849599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The studies were carried out using modern measuring equipment according to certified methods of the services of metrological adjustment of glass-making enterprises, with the participation of which the experiments were carried out. In the process of research, the heating capacity, average values of the heat transfer coefficients and aerodynamic resistance of heat exchange surfaces, which are assembled from of panel packages formed by pipes with membranes, under conditions of heat-recovery of dusty furnace gases, were determined. The dynamics of the formation of a layer of deposits of technological dust on the surface of the panels on the gas side and the contamination coefficient of surface were also subject to research. According to the data on the heat-recovery exchanger heating capacity, the rational period of its operation between cleaning the working surfaces was determined.

According to the results of the studies, it is shown that TVM heat exchangers when used in conditions of dusty furnace gases are characterized by high thermal efficiency due to the layout of the heat exchange surface from the packets of panels formed by pipes with membranes, and the possibility of cleaning these surfaces from deposits of technological dust with practical restoration of the initial indicators.

The purpose of these studies is to determine the effect of the filtration properties of soil as a porous medium on the performance of soil heat exchangers. Ground heat exchangers are important elements of heat pumps widely used to extract low potential heat from ground masses. In the over whelming majority of scientific works related to the numerical modeling of the operation of ground heat exchangers, the soil is considered as a continuous medium and heat transfer in it occurs only by thermal conductivity. In reality, soil is a porous medium, the pores of which can be filled with air and liquid. In this regard, in addition to thermal conductivity, heat transfer in the soil can also occur by convection of liquids or gas in a porous medium. \u0000Results. This paper presents the results of numerical modeling of the temperature regime of the soil U-tube heat exchanger, taking into account the free convective movement of the medium filling the pores of the soil. The system of equations describing this process consists of the equations of fluid dynamics in a porous medium and the energy equation. Attached to them is the heat transfer equation in a U-tube heat exchanger. \u0000Based on the results of solving this system of equations, the distributions of velocity and temperature in the porous soil medium, as well as the change in the temperature of the heating agent in the heat exchanger, are determined. It has been determined that the maximum velocity of the free convection flow of water in the pores under the observed conditions is of the order of ~ 10-6 m/s. \u0000Evaluation of the energy performance of the ground heat exchanger depending on the size of soil particles and its porosity showed that a larger volume of recoverable heat is provided with a smaller particle size and lower porosity. It is also shown that when the pores of the soil are filled with water, a larger volume of heat is extracted from the soil in comparison with the case of filling the pores with air.","PeriodicalId":23079,"journal":{"name":"Thermophysics and Thermal Power Engineering","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84653042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The obtained system of equations in the two-dimensional formulation in cylindrical coordinates with corresponding boundary conditions is solved in the package COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS 5.6. In the specified package the modeling of the influence of factors on the behavior of the interface of the film water-air flow in the vertical channel during the countercurrent movement of the phases is carried out.

The current state and prospects of the introduction of renewable energy in the transport sector of the European Union are analyzed. It is shown that the fulfillment of the ambitious goal of the European Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050 largely depends on the success of reducing carbon dioxide emissions on transport. This sector is the most difficult to decarbonize compared to others, so the European Green Deal pays special attention to it. In Ukraine, the situation is similar: the introduction of renewable energy is the slowest in the field of transport compared to the sectors of electricity and heat production. In order to effectively attract renewable energy sources to the transport sector, it is recommended to pursue a consistent policy of stimulating this sector, taking into account the example of the EU and individual member states. For example, Sweden has already achieved about 30% of renewable energy consumption on transport, which is the highest index in the EU. The main mechanisms that have contributed to this are the long-established energy and carbon taxes on fossil fuels.
