Nowadays in Russia we see rapid modernization of power engineering and transport systems. Under these conditions the issue concerning improvement of regional heat supply system energy-efficiency has gained a new importance. The aim of this study is to find new development directions of the public-private partnership (PPP), specifically from the perspective of its energy efficiency. Amid the financial crisis and economic sanctions the formation of public-private partnership allows increasing of energy efficiency of regional fuel and energy complex by means of regional energy service company creation. This paper will be useful both for central and local government and for private business.
This work presents the main results of calculation and experimental study on relation between the operational properties of peat heat-insulating materials (HIM) and the content of mineral binders in them aiming at reducing heat energy costs by energy-consuming objects. It was experimentally proved that introduction of cement increases thermal conductivity, and introduction of calcium oxide as a mineral binder, on the contrary, promotes the development of material porosity while maintaining strength characteristics and elasticity and helps to reduce the thermal conductivity and specific density. The established relationship between the content of calcium oxide and the thermal conductivity enables modelling of technology for HIM producing based on peat and inorganic binders.
Abstract. Aim. An integral part of an energy audit of buildings and structures consists in thermal imaging diagnostics. This permits an evaluation of the heat-shielding properties of the enclosing structures of buildings in order to control the functional and operational status of engineering systems, as well as to identify implicit (invisible) and explicit (visible) defects in them. The aim of the work is to analyse some features and results of thermal control of an opaque hinged ventilated facade system and translucent enclosing structures in the form of window systems of a capital construction project. Method. Thermal imaging was used as a control for resolving issues of energy and resource conservation. The special importance of thermal control of translucent facade systems and non-translucent hinged ventilated facades of capital construction projects having various functional and operational purposes is highlighted. Results. A detailed algorithm is presented for supporting a comprehensive diagnosis of the heat engineering state of building envelopes for various construction projects by analysing thermograms, using thermal monitoring methods, to take into consideration engineering systems, building materials and finished products, along with technologies of full-scale thermal imaging inspection of translucent building envelopes. The obtained thermograms are presented and analysed. Conclusion. Current problems in the fields of energy efficiency and energy saving in the construction and energy industries are considered in the light of the latest technological developments. The proposed graph-analytical algorithm supporting a diagnosis of the heat engineering state of building envelopes based on the analysis of thermograms is the most comprehensive among known analogues and prototypes
In this work we consider coal-water slurry fuels as an alternative to the traditional types of fuels, in particular, coal. Assessment is performed using a software tool for calculating the combustion process of coal-water slurry fuels. The obtained results will allow one to perform computer-aided environmental calculations during CWS combustion in experimental and industrial plants.
