2.5. Contact water-heaters for distributed heating and hot-water supply

Purpose

Autonomous heat supply of production buildings, offices and accommodation spaces by contact water-heaters.

Development data

Technology and equipment for water heating  in contact water-heating modules with heat power 1,0 and 0,5 Gcal/h have been developed. In mentioned modules are combined contact and surfaces methods of water heating. It provides water heating till 90-95 ºC, that is higher than in conventional production methods of  hot-water supply. At the expense of  latent heat evaporation utilization of water vapour from combustion materials the modules efficiency factor  is exceeded 96%. The temperature of combustion materials at the output of modules is 50 –55 ºC.

Mass of system’s crucial components, kg 1800 950

The module is equipped by multiflame burner and combustion chamber with heat-exchanges apparatus that is based above the chamber. 1,0 Gcal/h module is capable to heat one office block or residental construction with a space 10t hous.m² and 0,5 Gkal/h module – 5t hous.m². The cost of 1,0 Gkal produced by modules is half than under centralized heating.
