Calculation of the amount of hot water. Examples of calculation of hot water supply systems

The average hourly heat load of hot water supply to a thermal energy consumer Q hm , Gcal/h, during the heating period is determined by the formula:

Q hm =/T(3.3)

a= 100 l/day - the rate of water consumption for hot water supply;

N =4 - number of people;

T = 24 hours – duration of operation of the subscriber’s hot water supply system per day, hours;

t c - temperature of tap water during the heating period, °C; in the absence of reliable information, t c = 5 °C is accepted;

Q hm =100∙4∙(55-5)∙10 -6 /24=833.3∙10 -6 Gcal/h= 969 W

3.3 Total heat consumption and gas consumption

A double-circuit boiler is selected for design. When calculating gas consumption, it is taken into account that the boiler for heating and DHW operates separately, that is, when the DHW circuit is turned on, the heating circuit is turned off. This means that the total heat consumption will be equal to the maximum consumption. In this case, the maximum heat consumption for heating.

1. ∑Q = Q omax = 6109 kcal/h

2. Determine gas consumption using the formula:

V =∑Q /(η ∙Q n p), (3.4)

where Q n p =34 MJ/m 3 =8126 kcal/m 3 - lower calorific value of gas;

η – boiler efficiency;

V = 6109/(0.91/8126)=0.83 m 3 /h

For the cottage we choose

1. Double-circuit boiler AOGV-8, thermal power Q=8 kW, gas flow V=0.8 m 3 /h, nominal input pressure of natural gas Рnom=1274-1764 Pa;

2. Gas stove, 4 burners, GP 400 MS-2p, gas consumption V=1.25m3

Total gas consumption for 1 house:

Vg =N∙(Vpg ∙Kо +V2-boiler ∙K cat), (3.5)

where Ko = 0.7 is the simultaneity coefficient for a gas stove taken from the table depending on the number of apartments;

K cat = 1 - simultaneity coefficient for the boiler according to table 5;

N is the number of houses.

Vg =1.25∙1+0.8∙0.85 =1.93 m 3 /h

For 67 houses:

Vg =67∙(1.25∙0.2179+0.8∙0.85)=63.08 m 3 /h

Calculation of ventilation loads

In the absence of a design for a ventilated building, the estimated heat consumption for ventilation, W [kcal/h], will be determined using the formula for aggregated calculations:

    The supply (distribution) network is calculated in water collection mode.

    The hot water supply network is calculated in circulation mode; the possibilities of using natural circulation are determined, and if necessary, parameters are determined and circulation pumps are selected.

    In accordance with the individual assignment for coursework and diploma design, calculations of storage tanks and coolant networks can be made.

2.2.1. Determination of estimated consumption of hot water and heat. Selection of water heaters

To determine the heating surface and further selection of water heaters, hourly consumption of hot water and heat is required; to calculate pipelines, second consumption of hot water is required.

In accordance with paragraph 3 of SNiP 2.04.01-85, the second and hourly consumption of hot water are determined using the same formulas as for cold water supply.

The maximum second consumption of hot water at any calculated section of the network is determined by the formula:

- second consumption of hot water by one device, which is determined by:

a separate device - in accordance with the mandatory Appendix 2;

different devices serving the same consumers - according to Appendix 3;

various devices serving different water consumers - according to the formula:

, (2.2)

Depending on these values, heat loss is given in various reference books.

When calculating in course projects, heat loss Q ht by supply and circulation pipes can be taken in the amount of 0.2-0.3 of the amount of heat required for preparing hot water.

In this case, formulas (2.9) and (2.10) will take the form:

a) , kW (2.11)

b) , kW (2.12)

A smaller percentage of heat loss is accepted for systems without circulation. Most civil buildings use high-speed sectional water heaters with variable output, i.e. with adjustable coolant consumer. Such water heaters do not require heat storage tanks and are designed for maximum hourly heat flow
.

The selection of water heaters consists of determining the heating surface of the coils using the formula:

, m 3 (2.13)

K – heat transfer coefficient of the water heater, taken according to table 11.2; for high-speed water-water heaters with brass heating tubes, the value of k can be taken in the range of 1200-3000 W/m sq., ºC, with a smaller one accepted for devices with smaller section diameters;

º is determined by the formula:

, ºС (2.14)

Δt b and Δt m – greater and lesser temperature difference between the coolant and heated water at the ends of the water heater.

The parameters of the coolant during the winter calculation period, when the heating networks of buildings are operating, are assumed to be 110-130 ºC in the supply pipeline and -70 in the return pipeline, the parameters of the heated water during this period are t c = 5ºC and t c = 60...70 ºC. In summer, the heating network only works to prepare hot water; The parameters of the coolant during this period in the supply pipeline are 70...80 ºC and in the return pipeline 30...40 ºC, the parameters of the heated water are t c = 10...20 ºC and t c = 60...70 ºC.

When calculating the heating surface of a water heater, it may happen that the determining period will be the summer period, when the temperature of the coolant is lower.

For cylinder water heaters, the calculation for the temperature difference is determined by the formula:

, ºC (2.15)

t n and t k – initial and final temperature of the coolant;

In accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2013 No. 406 “On state regulation of tariffs in the field of water supply and sanitation,” with a centralized hot water supply system in a closed system, a two-component tariff for hot water is established, consisting of “ cold water component "(rub./m3) and " component for thermal energy "(RUB/Gcal). The resource supplying organization supplying hot water makes settlements with the utility provider (management company, HOA) for 2 resources: cold water - at the tariff for the “cold water component”; thermal energy - at the tariff for the “thermal energy component”. The value of the cold water component is calculated by the tariff regulatory body based on the cold water tariff. The value of the thermal energy component is determined by the tariff regulatory body in accordance with methodological guidelines based on the following components: · thermal energy tariff; · costs for the maintenance of centralized hot water supply systems in the area from central heating points (inclusive), where hot water is prepared, to the point on the border of the operational responsibility of the subscriber and the regulated organization in the event that such costs are not taken into account in the tariff for thermal energy; · the cost of thermal energy losses in pipelines in the area from the facilities where hot water is prepared, including from central heating points, including the maintenance of central heating points, to the point on the border of the operational responsibility of the subscriber and the regulated organization in the event that such losses do not taken into account when setting tariffs for thermal energy; · costs associated with the transportation of hot water. Providers of utility services in accordance with the “Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings”, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011. No. 354 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), calculate the amount of payment for the utility service for hot water supply for the volume of hot water consumed in cubic meters. In accordance with the Rules, the amount of payment (P i) for the utility service for hot water supply, in a room equipped with an individual device hot water metering is determined by the formula: P i = V i n * T to p (1), where: V i n is the volume (quantity) of the communal resource consumed during the billing period in the i-th residential or non-residential premises, determined from the readings of an individual device accounting;T to p — tariff for a utility resource. Since the tariff for the utility resource “hot water” is set in the form of two components, the utility service provider with consumers of hot water makes payments for the components: cold water and thermal energy for hot water supply needs. Amount of thermal energy (Gcal/ m 3) for hot water supply needs per 1 m 3, as a rule, is determined by the utility service provider on the basis of general house (collective) readings of hot water meters and thermal energy in hot water. It should be noted that the utility service provider makes settlements with the resource supplying organization based on the readings of the same common house (collective) metering devices for hot water and thermal energy in hot water. The consumed amount of thermal energy in hot water in the i-room (Gcal) is determined by multiplying the amount hot water according to an individual metering device (m 3) by the specific consumption of thermal energy in hot water (Gcal/m 3). The volume of hot water determined according to an individual metering device (m 3) is multiplied by the tariff “component for cold water” (rub ./m 3) is the payment for cold water as part of hot water. The volume of thermal energy in the consumed hot water (Gcal) is multiplied by the tariff “thermal energy component” (rub./Gcal) - this is the payment for thermal energy as part of hot water water. In accordance with the information letter of the Federal Tariff Service of Russia dated November 18, 2014 No. SZ-12713/5 “On the issue of regulating tariffs for hot water in a closed hot water supply system for 2015,” it is said that the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of public regulation of prices (tariffs) has the right to make a decision on the establishment of tariffs for hot water in a closed hot water supply system per 1 cubic meter. m. In this case, the calculation of the tariff for hot water (T hot water) per 1 m 3 is made according to the formula: T hot water = T hot water * (1 + K pv) + US central heating + T t/e * Q t/e (2), where :T hvs - tariff for cold (rub./cubic m); T t/e - tariff for thermal energy (rub./Gcal); K pv - coefficient taking into account water losses in closed heat supply systems from central heating points to the point connections; US central heating - specific costs for the maintenance of hot water supply systems from central heating points to the boundaries of the balance sheet of consumers (without taking into account losses) in the event that such costs are not taken into account in tariffs for thermal energy (power), per 1 cubic meter. m;Q t/e - the amount of heat required to prepare one cubic meter of hot water (Gcal/cub. m). At the same time, the amount of heat for preparing one cubic meter of hot water (Q t/e) is determined by calculation, taking into account heat capacity, pressure, temperature, density of water, losses of thermal energy in risers and heated towel rails. Thus, the charge in the receipt for hot water depends on the form in which the regulatory authority has set the tariff for hot water: for two components (cold water and thermal energy ) or per cubic meter. In question the amounts of charges for 2 components (cold water and thermal energy) are given, but the municipality and tariffs for the components are not indicated. If we assume that hot water consumption was 10 m3, then the tariff for the “cold water component” is 331 rubles. / 10 m 3 = 33.10 rubles/m 3. If we assume that the tariff for the “thermal energy” component is 1800 rubles/Gcal, the amount of thermal energy consumed is: 1100 rubles. /1800 rub./Gcal = 0.611 Gcal, respectively, to heat 1 m 3 of hot water, the thermal energy consumption was 0.611 Gcal / 10 m 3 = 0.0611 Gcal/m 3.
