The article considers the creation of a regulatory framework in the field of rationing the energy efficiency of water heating systems, and gives recommendations for its creation. In heating systems, there are two main types of energy consumption: electrical and thermal. Electric consumption primarily depends on the correct choice of the pump in the system, its efficiency, as well as the design and operation characteristics of the heating system. Existing methods for assessing energy efficiency, used for ventilation systems, are not applicable for heating systems, since certain conditions must be met for high-quality exploitation. In particular, such conditions include the removal of air from the system and the provision of proportional regulation of the heat transfer of the heating devices. The article gives an example of determining the energy efficiency of a heating system depending on these conditions, and the proposed methodology and methodology applicable for ventilation systems are compared. The considered technique can be applied at carrying out of examination of the design documentation of section “Heating and ventilation”.

Combined air and water heating schemes have been actively used recently for heating public and residential premises. They have certain advantages in countries with a warm climate, whereas in a temperate climate, their use may be unfeasible. The most effective regulation of the heating system in the building can be expected, if all the technology specifics are taken into account, in terms of both the purpose of the room and the methods of regulation. A system focused only on weather-based regulation falls short of meeting to energy-efficient control classes: a heat carrier with the same temperature is distributed among rooms with different requirements for temperature and humidity characteristics. The issues of ensuring the energy efficiency of the combined air and water heating system in public buildings for the temperate continental climate of Russia — the academic building (AB) and laboratory building (LB) of the Kazan State Energy University (KSEU) have been considered. Heating devices of the KSEU heating system have manual control valves installed in the premises, or radiator valves with thermostatic heads, but without room controllers, which does not meet the energy-efficient control classes. An experimental survey of the functioning of the heating system of the KSEU buildings during the 2019 – 2020 and 2020 – 2021 heating seasons was conducted. The optical pyrometry method was used to measure the temperature of the surfaces of windows, walls and elements of the heating system, as well as the temperature and humidity of the air in lecture rooms and corridors of the AB and LB of the KSEU. The parameters of heating devices and indoor air in rooms of various purposes were found compliant with the current sanitary and hygienic requirements. At the same time, the need to switch to a higher class of regulation has been revealed, since, under the current situation, the parameters of the indoor air depend on the outdoor temperature: in the abnormally warm winter of 2020, the indoor air temperature was at the edge of the maximum permissible value, while in the normal climate of winter of 2021, it was at the edge of the minimum permissible value.

The preservation of natural water and electricity resources is essential for the development of smart cities. Indeed, water and electricity are highly dependent and must be analyzed together to improve the energy efficiency. This article is about the study of the integration of renewable energy and smart solutions in a water heating system. The existing system uses mainly heat pumps to cover the most of the hot water needs. The purpose of this work is to explore possible solutions to optimize the electricity and the water consumption of the installation.

Solar Water Heating System

In this paper, we studied theoretically and numerically heat losses of a flat solar collector for the subsequent modelling of the solar water heating system for the Kazakhstan climate condition. For different climatic zones with a growing cost for energy or lack of central heating systems, promising is to find ways to improve the energy efficiency of the solar system. The solar system is simulated by the mathematical model (ODE model) of energy. To bridge the results of modelling and real values, our research investigated the important physical parameters such as loss coefficient, Nu, Ra, Pr values, which are impacting on the efficiency of solar flat collector and for heat losses of system. The developed mathematical models, the design and composition of the software and hardware complex, automated control and monitoring systems allow solar hot water heating system to increase the energy efficiency of a life support systems and heat supply of buildings, by reducing energy consumption for heat supply.

Significant Difference

High electricity consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2), and elevated noxious gas emission in the global livestock sector have a negative influence on environmental sustainability. This study examined the effects of a heating system using an air heat pump (AHP) on the energy saving, housing environment, and productivity traits of pigs. During the experimental period of 16 weeks, the internal temperature was found to be higher (p < 0.05) in the AHP house than in the conventional house. Moreover, the average electricity consumption and CO2 emission decreased by approximately 40 kWh and 19.32 kg, respectively, in the AHP house compared to the house with the conventional heating system. The average NH3 and H2S emissions were significantly lower in the AHP house (p < 0.05) during the growth stages. The AHP and conventional heating systems did not have a significant influence (p > 0.05) on the average ultra-fine dust (PM2.5) and formaldehyde level fluctuations. Furthermore, both heating systems did not show a significant difference in the average growth performance of pigs (p > 0.05), but the weight gain tended to increase in the AHP house. In conclusion, the AHP system has great potential to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and noxious gas emissions by providing economic benefits and an eco-friendly renewable energy source.

District Heating Systems

In order to develop more sustainable district heating systems, the district heating sector is currently trying to increase the energy efficiency of these systems. One way of doing so is to identify customer installations in the systems that have poor cooling performance. This study aimed to develop an algorithm that was able to detect the poorly performing installations automatically using meter readings from the installations. The algorithm was developed using statistical methods and was tested on a data set consisting of data from 3000 installations located in a district heating system in Sweden. As many as 1273 installations were identified by the algorithm as having poor cooling performance. This clearly shows that it is of major interest to the district heating companies to identify the installations with poor cooling performance rapidly and automatically, in order to rectify them as soon as possible.

The Impact

The design of the suspended nonlinear heating system of modular-trigger and platform furnaces for firing vermiculite and other bulk materials is considered. Previously, the design of linear heating systems did not provide homogeneous heating of thermographed materials, the material in the clutch zones suffered sufficient thermal energy. In addition, overheating of the central zone increased the frequency of the impact of the heaters themselves, which affected the reliability of the furnace. The use of a nonlinear heating system has changed this distribution to the opposite. The power of the intuboxic heater exceeded the power of the central 1,2‒1,36 times depending on the ratio of the diameters of thin and thick (diameter of 4 mm) of the heaters. At the same time, not only their electrical power increased, but the heat radiation streams, falling onto the surface of the supply, which led to an increase in the temperature of the material being processed. The obtained values of the temperature of the vermiculite grains in the fitted zones of the firing module exceed the temperature of the vermiculite in the central zone by 26 %, while it is sufficient for high-quality material intimidation. Due to the use of nonlinear heating system, temperatures were redistributed on heated surfaces in favor of relatively cold previously intuition zones: the heat picture has changed to the opposite, that is, the cold cloth zones have become relatively hot.

The Cost

Performance monitoring is essential in order to conclusively demonstrate the cost effectiveness of a solar heating system. Unfortunately, this “last step” is an aspect which has received little engineering consideration. The monitoring programs in progress typically use instrumentation which is much too expensive and complex for use by individual operators of domestic water heating systems. Hence, few systems are monitored, and the average owner knows little about the performance characteristics of his system. Even malfunctions go undetected. An inexpensive performance monitoring system is described in this paper. It could probably be mass-produced for under 15 dollars or built by the typical homeowner for under 30 dollars. The monitor indicates the instantaneous solar fraction. Overall system performance can be improved with this monitor, since it enables the user to correlate load with the availability of solar heated water. Methodology, performance parameters, and some performance data are presented.
