A method of reducing leakage and theft of heating water
Permanent increase in the cost of energy resources requires a variety of measures to improve the efficiency of their use at all stages - from production to consumption. One of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency - reducing the leakage of heating water in heating systems through leaky joints and emergency breakthroughs, as well as reducing its unauthorized taps ( theft ) consumers. drain the coolant from the water heating systems must be no more than 0.25% of the volume of water … in the heat network … in an hour.
Thus it is assumed that the entire volume of water in the heating system , made up of water treatment systems, boilers and completely replaced in about 16.7 days. In the water treatment process water is cleaned of impurities dissolved air is heated to a predetermined temperature. Leakage and unauthorized critiques water network in practice turn out to be substantially higher design values , so the boiler rooms are large additional costs for water treatment.
One way to reduce leakage is the use of mains water dyes . in some cases, to monitor the integrity of systems and heat consumption unauthorized analysis of hot water from the heating system in the absence of hot water in coordination with the local sanitary and epidemiological surveillance with prior notification of the population.
” This method has been applied in different regions , but it is used , as a rule , incidentally. Once a year for a few days there is a ” salvo ” commissioning of the dye in the network after heat boiler water treatment system . The existing heating mains defects ( breaks ) are detected visually leaking emerald- green color , carried out repairs of pipelines. Consumers during the commissioning of the water network dyes cease its unauthorized analysis . Volume feeding boiler after administration dyes in different regions is reduced by 2-5 times. During the next 2-3 weeks dye gradually removed from the network through the remaining conduits leaks and unauthorized users begin again use water network , there are new leak heating mains, and for a brief amount of time water treatment (i.e., leakage or unauthorized taps ) returns to the values that existed prior to the application of dye.
To reduce the amount of water treatment in boiler ( and a corresponding decrease in the cost of it) during the whole year it is advisable to establish a continuous dosing of dye . Saving the dye is provided by its dosing is not directly in the pipeline heating systems , and in the pipeline feeding . This also includes an initial ” salvo ” commissioning of the dye in the network , further dosing is carried out in small volumes to maintain a constant water coloration network.
