After installing the heating system, it is necessary to adjust the temperature regime. This procedure must be carried out in accordance with existing standards.

The requirements for the temperature of the coolant are set out in the regulatory documents that establish the design, installation and use engineering systems residential and public buildings. They are described in the State building codes and rules:

• DBN (B. 2.5-39 Heat networks);
• SNiP 2.04.05 "Heating, ventilation and air conditioning".

For the calculated temperature of the water in the supply, the figure is taken that is equal to the temperature of the water at the outlet of the boiler, according to its passport data.

For individual heating to decide what should be the temperature of the coolant, should be taking into account such factors:

1. Start and end of the heating season average daily temperature outside +8 °C for 3 days;
2. The average temperature inside the heated premises of housing and communal and public interest should be 20 °C, and for industrial buildings 16 °C;
3. The average design temperature must comply with the requirements of DBN V.2.2-10, DBN V.2.2.-4, DSanPiN 5.5.2.008, SP No. 3231-85.

According to SNiP 2.04.05 "Heating, ventilation and air conditioning" (clause 3.20), the coolant limit values ​​are as follows:

Depending on external factors, the water temperature in the heating system can be from 30 to 90 °C. When heated above 90 ° C, dust begins to decompose and paintwork. For these reasons sanitary norms prohibit more heating.

For calculation optimal performance special charts and tables can be used that define the norms depending on the season:

• With an average value outside the window of 0 °С, the supply for radiators with different wiring is set at a level of 40 to 45 °С, and the return temperature is from 35 to 38 °С;
• At -20 °С, the supply is heated from 67 to 77 °С, while the return rate should be from 53 to 55 °С;
• At -40 ° C outside the window for all heating devices set the maximum allowable values. At the supply it is from 95 to 105 ° C, and at the return - 70 ° C.

Optimal values ​​in an individual heating system

H2_2

Heating system helps to avoid many of the problems that arise with a centralized network, and optimum temperature The coolant can be adjusted according to the season. In the case of individual heating, the concept of norm includes the heat transfer of a heating device per unit area of ​​​​the room where this device is located. The thermal regime in this situation is provided design features heating appliances.

It is important to ensure that the heat carrier in the network does not cool below 70 °C. 80 °C is considered optimal. It is easier to control heating with a gas boiler, because manufacturers limit the possibility of heating the coolant to 90 ° C. Using sensors to adjust the gas supply, the heating of the coolant can be controlled.

It is a little more difficult with solid fuel devices, they do not regulate the heating of the liquid, and can easily turn it into steam. And it is impossible to reduce the heat from coal or wood by turning the knob in such a situation. At the same time, the control of heating of the coolant is rather conditional with high errors and is performed by rotary thermostats and mechanical dampers.

Electric boilers allow you to smoothly adjust the heating of the coolant from 30 to 90 ° C. They are equipped with an excellent overheating protection system.

One-pipe and two-pipe lines

The design features of a single-pipe and two-pipe heating network determine different norms for heating the coolant.

For example, for a single-pipe line, the maximum rate is 105 ° C, and for a two-pipe line - 95 ° C, while the difference between the return and supply should be, respectively: 105 - 70 ° C and 95 - 70 ° C.

Matching the temperature of the heat carrier and the boiler

Regulators help to coordinate the temperature of the coolant and the boiler. These are devices that create automatic control and correction of the return and supply temperatures.

The return temperature depends on the amount of liquid passing through it. The regulators cover the liquid supply and increase the difference between the return and supply to the level that is needed, and the necessary pointers are installed on the sensor.

If it is necessary to increase the flow, then a boost pump can be added to the network, which is controlled by a regulator. To reduce the heating of the supply, a “cold start” is used: that part of the liquid that has passed through the network is again transferred from the return to the inlet.

The regulator redistributes the supply and return flows according to the data taken by the sensor, and ensures strict temperature standards for the heating network.

Ways to reduce heat loss

The above information will help to be used for the correct calculation of the coolant temperature norm and will tell you how to determine the situations when you need to use the regulator.

But it is important to remember that the temperature in the room is affected not only by the temperature of the coolant, outdoor air and the strength of the wind. The degree of insulation of the facade, doors and windows in the house should also be taken into account.

To reduce the heat loss of housing, you need to worry about its maximum thermal insulation. Insulated walls, sealed doors, metal-plastic windows help reduce heat loss. It will also reduce heating costs.

When autumn confidently walks across the country, snow flies beyond the Arctic Circle, and in the Urals night temperatures stay below 8 degrees, then the word “heating season” sounds appropriate. People recall past winters and try to figure out the normal temperature of the coolant in the heating system.

Prudent owners of individual buildings carefully revise the valves and nozzles of the boilers. Residents apartment building by October 1, they are waiting, like Santa Claus, a plumber from a management company. The ruler of valves and valves brings warmth, and with it - joy, fun and confidence in the future.

The Gigacalorie Path

Megacities sparkle high-rise buildings. A cloud of renovation hangs over the capital. Outback prays on five-story buildings. Until demolished, the house has a calorie supply system.

The economy class apartment building is heated through a centralized heat supply system. The pipes are included in basement buildings. The supply of heat carrier is regulated by inlet valves, after which water enters the mud collectors, and from there it is distributed through the risers, and from them it is supplied to the batteries and radiators that heat the dwelling.

The number of gate valves correlates with the number of risers. While doing repair work in a single apartment, it is possible to turn off one vertical, and not the whole house.

The spent liquid partially leaves through the return pipe, and partially is supplied to the hot water supply network.

degrees here and there

Water for the heating configuration is prepared at a CHP plant or in a boiler house. The norms of water temperature in the heating system are prescribed in the building rules: the component must be heated to 130-150 ° C.

The supply is calculated taking into account the parameters of the outside air. So, for the South Ural region, minus 32 degrees is taken into account.

To prevent the liquid from boiling, it must be supplied to the network under a pressure of 6-10 kgf. But this is a theory. In fact, most networks operate at 95-110 ° C, since the network pipes of most settlements are worn out and high pressure tear them up like a heating pad.

An extensible concept is the norm. The temperature in the apartment is never equal to the primary indicator of the heat carrier. Here, the elevator unit performs an energy-saving function - a jumper between the direct and return pipes. The norms for the temperature of the coolant in the heating system on the return in winter allow the preservation of heat at a level of 60 ° C.

The liquid from the straight pipe enters the elevator nozzle, mixes with return water and again goes into the house network for heating. The carrier temperature is lowered by mixing the return flow. What affects the calculation of the amount of heat consumed by residential and utility rooms.

hot gone

According to sanitary rules, the temperature of hot water at the points of analysis should lie in the range of 60-75 ° C.

In the network, the coolant is supplied from the pipe:

• in winter - from the reverse, so as not to scald users with boiling water;
• in summer - with a straight line, since in summer time the carrier is heated no higher than 75 °C.

A temperature chart is drawn up. Average daily temperature return water should not exceed the schedule by more than 5% at night and 3% during the day.

Parameters of distributing elements

One of the details of warming a home is a riser through which the coolant enters the battery or radiator from the temperature norms of the coolant in the heating system require heating in the riser in winter time in the range of 70-90 °C. In fact, the degrees depend on the output parameters of the CHP or boiler house. In the summer, when hot water is needed only for washing and showering, the range moves to the range of 40-60 ° C.

Observant people may notice that in a neighboring apartment, the heating elements are hotter or colder than in his own.

The reason for the temperature difference in the heating riser is the way the hot water is distributed.

In a single-pipe design, the heat carrier can be distributed:

• above; then the temperature on the upper floors is higher than on the lower ones;
• from below, then the picture changes to the opposite - it is hotter from below.

In a two-pipe system, the degree is the same throughout, theoretically 90 ° C in the forward direction and 70 ° C in the opposite direction.

Warm like a battery

Suppose that the structures of the central network are reliably insulated along the entire route, the wind does not walk through the attics, stairwells and basements, the doors and windows in the apartments are insulated by conscientious owners.

We assume that the coolant in the riser complies with the building regulations. It remains to find out what is the norm for the temperature of the heating batteries in the apartment. The indicator takes into account:

• outdoor air parameters and time of day;
• the location of the apartment in terms of the house;
• living or utility room in the apartment.

Therefore, attention: it is important, not what is the degree of the heater, but what is the degree of air in the room.

Happy in corner rooms the thermometer should show at least 20 ° C, and 18 ° C is allowed in centrally located rooms.

At night, air in the dwelling is allowed to be 17 ° C and 15 ° C, respectively.

Theory of linguistics

The name "battery" is household, denoting a number of identical items. In relation to the heating of housing, this is a series of heating sections.

The temperature standards of heating batteries allow heating no higher than 90 ° C. According to the rules, parts heated above 75 ° C are protected. This does not mean that they need to be sheathed with plywood or bricked. Usually they put a lattice fence that does not interfere with air circulation.

Cast iron, aluminum and bimetallic devices are common.

Consumer choice: cast iron or aluminum

Aesthetics cast iron radiators- a parable in the language. They require periodic painting, as the rules stipulate that the work surface should have smooth surface and allows easy removal of dust and dirt.

A dirty coating forms on the rough inner surface of the sections, which reduces the heat transfer of the device. But technical specifications cast iron products on high:

• little susceptible to water corrosion, can be used for more than 45 years;
• they have a high thermal power per 1 section, therefore they are compact;
• they are inert in heat transfer, therefore they smooth out temperature fluctuations in the room well.

Another type of radiators is made of aluminum. Lightweight construction, factory painted, no painting required, easy to maintain.

But there is a drawback that overshadows the advantages - corrosion in the aquatic environment. Of course, inner surface heaters are insulated with plastic to avoid contact of aluminum with water. But the film may be damaged, then it will begin chemical reaction with the release of hydrogen, when creating overpressure gas aluminum appliance may burst.

The temperature standards of heating radiators are subject to the same rules as batteries: it is not so much heating that matters metal object how much air heating in the room.

In order for the air to warm up well, there must be sufficient heat removal from the working surface of the heating structure. Therefore, it is strongly not recommended to increase the aesthetics of the room with shields in front of the heating device.

Stairwell heating

Since we are talking about apartment building, then it should be mentioned stairwells. The norms for the temperature of the coolant in the heating system state: the degree measure on the sites should not fall below 12 ° C.

Of course, the discipline of the tenants requires that the doors be closed tightly. entrance group, do not leave the transoms of stair windows open, keep the glass intact and promptly report any problems to the management company. If the Criminal Code does not take timely measures to insulate the points of probable heat loss and maintain the temperature regime in the house, an application for recalculation of the cost of services will help.

Changes in heating design

Replacement of existing heating devices in the apartment is carried out with the obligatory coordination with the management company. Unauthorized change in the elements of warming radiation can disrupt the thermal and hydraulic balance of the structure.

The heating season will begin, a change in the temperature regime in other apartments and sites will be recorded. A technical inspection of the premises will reveal unauthorized changes in the types of heating devices, their number and size. The chain is inevitable: conflict - trial - fine.

So the situation is resolved like this:

• if not old ones are replaced with new radiators of the same size, then this is done without additional approvals; the only thing to apply to the Criminal Code is to turn off the riser for the duration of the repair;
• if new products differ significantly from those installed during construction, then it is useful to interact with the management company.

Heat meters

Let us recall once again that the heat supply network of an apartment building is equipped with heat energy metering units that record both the consumed gigacalories and the cubic capacity of water passed through the house line.

In order not to be surprised by bills containing unrealistic amounts for heat at temperatures in the apartment below the norm, before the start of the heating season, check with the management company whether the meter is in working order, whether the verification schedule has been violated.

From a series of articles "What to do if it's cold in the apartment"

What is a temperature chart?

The water temperature in the heating system must be maintained depending on the actual outdoor temperature according to the temperature schedule, which is developed by heat engineers of design and energy supply organizations according to a special methodology for each source of heat supply, taking into account specific local conditions. These schedules should be developed based on the requirement that during the cold season in living rooms the optimal temperature* was maintained, equal to 20–22 °С.

When calculating the schedule, heat losses (water temperatures) in the area from the heat supply source to residential buildings are taken into account.

Temperature graphs should be drawn up both for the heating network at the outlet of the heat supply source (boiler house, CHP), and for pipelines after the heating points of residential buildings (groups of houses), i.e. directly at the entrance to the heating system of the house.

From heat supply sources to heating network hot water is supplied according to the following temperature charts:*

• from large CHP plants: 150/70°С, 130/70°С or 105/70°С;
• from boiler houses and small CHP plants: 105/70°С or 95/70°С.

*the first digit is the maximum temperature of the direct supply water, the second digit is its minimum temperature.

Other temperature schedules may be applied depending on specific local conditions.

So, in Moscow, at the exit from the main sources of heat supply, schedules of 150/70°С, 130/70°С and 105/70°С (maximum/minimum water temperature in the heating system) are used.

Until 1991, such temperature charts annually before the autumn-winter heating season were approved by the administrations of cities and other settlements, which was regulated by the relevant regulatory and technical documents (NTD).

Subsequently, unfortunately, this norm disappeared from the NTD, everything was given to the owners of boiler houses, thermal power plants, and other factories - steamships, who at the same time did not want to lose profits.

However regulatory requirement on the obligation to draw up temperature schedules for heating was restored by Federal Law No. 190-FZ of July 27, 2010 "On Heat Supply". Here is what is regulated in FZ-190 according to temperature chart(the articles of the Law are arranged by the author in their logical sequence):

“... Article 23. Organization of the development of heat supply systems for settlements, urban districts
…3. Authorized ... bodies [see. Art. 5 and 6 FZ-190] should develop, statement and annual update* * heat supply schemes, which should contain:
…7) Optimal temperature chart…

11) approval of heat supply schemes for settlements, mountains. districts with a population of five hundred thousand or more ...
Article 29. Final provisions
…3. Approval of heat supply schemes for settlements ... must be carried out before December 31, 2011.”

And here is what is said about the temperature graphs of heating in the "Rules and norms for the technical operation of the housing stock" (approved by the Post. Gosstroy of the Russian Federation of September 27, 2003 No. 170):

“…5.2. Central heating
5.2.1. System operation central heating residential buildings should provide:
- maintaining the optimum (not below the permissible) air temperature in heated rooms;
- maintaining the temperature of the water entering and returning from the heating system in accordance with the schedule for the quality regulation of the water temperature in the heating system (Appendix N 11);
- uniform heating of all heating devices;
5.2.6. The premises of the operating personnel should have:
... e) a graph of the temperature of the supply and return water in the heating network and in the heating system, depending on the outdoor temperature, indicating the operating water pressure at the inlet, the static and maximum allowable pressure in the system; ... "

Due to the fact that a heat carrier with a temperature not higher than can be supplied to house heating systems: for two-pipe systems - 95 ° С; for single-pipe - 105 ° С, at heating points (individual house or group for several houses), before water is supplied to houses, hydraulic elevator units are installed in which direct network water having high temperature, is mixed with chilled return water returning from the home's heating system. After mixing in the hydraulic elevator, the water enters the house system with a temperature according to the "house" temperature chart 95/70 or 105/70 ° С.

The following, as an example, shows the temperature graph of the heating system after heating point residential building for radiators according to the top-down and bottom-up scheme (at intervals outdoor temperature 2 °С), for a city with an estimated outdoor air temperature of 15 °С (Moscow, Voronezh, Orel):

DESIGN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE

The supply of heat to the room is associated with the simplest temperature graph. The temperature values ​​of the water supplied from the boiler room do not change indoors. They have standard values ​​and range from +70ºС to +95ºС. This temperature chart of the heating system is the most popular.

Adjusting the air temperature in the house

Not everywhere in the country there is centralized heating, so many residents install independent systems. Their temperature graph differs from the first option. In this case, the temperature indicators are significantly reduced. They depend on the efficiency of modern heating boilers.

If the temperature reaches +35ºС, the boiler will operate at maximum power. It depends on the heating element, where thermal energy can be taken in by exhaust gases. If the temperature values ​​are greater than + 70 ºС, then the boiler performance drops. In that case, in his technical specification 100% efficiency is indicated.

Temperature chart and calculation

How the graph will look depends on the outside temperature. The greater the negative value of the outside temperature, the greater the heat loss. Many do not know where to take this indicator. This temperature is specified in the regulatory documents. The temperature of the coldest five-day period is taken as the calculated value, and the lowest value over the past 50 years is taken.

Graph of outside and inside temperature

The graph shows the relationship between outside and inside temperatures. Let's say the outside temperature is -17ºС. Drawing a line up to the intersection with t2, we get a point characterizing the temperature of the water in the heating system.

Thanks to the temperature schedule, it is possible to prepare the heating system even under the most severe conditions. It also reduces installation costs. heating system. If we consider this factor from the point of view of mass construction, the savings are significant.

inside premises depends from temperature coolant, a also others factors:

• Outside air temperature. The smaller it is, the more negatively it affects heating;
• Wind. When a strong wind occurs, heat loss increases;
• The indoor temperature depends on the thermal insulation of the structural elements of the building.

Over the past 5 years, the principles of construction have changed. Builders increase the value of a home by insulating elements. As a rule, this applies to basements, roofs, foundations. These costly measures subsequently allow residents to save on the heating system.

temperature graph heating

The graph shows the dependence of the temperature of the outdoor and indoor air. The lower the outdoor temperature, the higher the temperature of the heating medium in the system.

The temperature schedule is developed for each city during the heating period. In small settlements a temperature chart of the boiler room is drawn up, which provides required amount coolant to the consumer.

Change temperature schedule can several ways:

• quantitative - characterized by a change in the flow rate of the coolant supplied to the heating system;
• high-quality - consists in regulating the temperature of the coolant before being supplied to the premises;
• temporary - a discrete method of supplying water to the system.

The temperature schedule is a heating pipeline schedule that distributes the heating load and is regulated by centralized systems. There is also an increased schedule, it is created for closed system heating, that is, to ensure the supply of hot coolant to the connected objects. When applied open system it is necessary to adjust the temperature graph, since the coolant is consumed not only for heating, but also for domestic water consumption.

The calculation of the temperature graph is made according to simple method. Hto build it needed initial temperature air data:

• outdoor;
• in room;
• in the supply and return pipelines;
• at the exit of the building.

In addition, you should know the nominal heat load. All other coefficients are normalized by reference documentation. The calculation of the system is made for any temperature graph, depending on the purpose of the room. For example, for large industrial and civil facilities, a schedule of 150/70, 130/70, 115/70 is drawn up. For residential buildings, this figure is 105/70 and 95/70. The first indicator shows the temperature on the supply, and the second - on the return. The results of the calculations are entered in a special table, which shows the temperature at certain points of the heating system, depending on the outside air temperature.

The main factor in calculating the temperature graph is the outside air temperature. The calculation table must be drawn up so that the maximum values ​​of the temperature of the coolant in the heating system (schedule 95/70) provide heating of the room. The room temperatures are provided normative documents.

heating appliances

Temperature of heating devices

The main indicator is the temperature of the heating devices. The ideal temperature curve for heating is 90/70ºС. It is impossible to achieve such an indicator, since the temperature inside the room should not be the same. It is determined depending on the purpose of the room.

In accordance with the standards, the temperature in the corner living room is +20ºС, in the rest - +18ºС; in the bathroom - + 25ºС. If the outside air temperature is -30ºС, then the indicators increase by 2ºС.

Except Togo, exists norms for others types premises:

• in rooms where children are located - + 18ºС to + 23ºС;
• children's educational institutions - + 21ºС;
• in cultural institutions with mass attendance - +16ºС to +21ºС.

Such an area temperature values designed for all types of premises. It depends on the movements performed inside the room: the more of them, the lower the air temperature. For example, in sports facilities people move a lot, so the temperature is only +18ºС.

Air temperature in the room

Exist certain factors, from which depends temperature heating appliances:

• Outside air temperature;
• Type of heating system and temperature difference: for a single-pipe system - + 105ºС, and for a single-pipe system - + 95ºС. Accordingly, the differences in for the first region are 105/70ºС, and for the second - 95/70ºС;
• The direction of the coolant supply to the heating devices. At top feed the difference should be 2 ºС, at the bottom - 3 ºС;
• Type of heating devices: heat transfers are different, so the temperature graph will be different.

First of all, the temperature of the coolant depends on the outside air. For example, the outside temperature is 0°C. At the same time, the temperature regime in the radiators should be equal to 40-45ºС on the supply, and 38ºС on the return. When the air temperature is below zero, for example, -20ºС, these indicators change. AT this case the flow temperature becomes 77/55ºC. If the temperature indicator reaches -40ºС, then the indicators become standard, that is, at the supply + 95/105ºС, and at the return - + 70ºС.

Additional options

In order for a certain temperature of the coolant to reach the consumer, it is necessary to monitor the state of the outside air. For example, if it is -40ºС, the boiler room must supply hot water with an indicator of + 130ºС. Along the way, the coolant loses heat, but still the temperature remains high when it enters the apartments. Optimal value+95ºС. To do this, an elevator assembly is installed in the basements, which serves to mix hot water from the boiler room and the coolant from the return pipeline.

Several institutions are responsible for the heating main. The boiler house monitors the supply of hot coolant to the heating system, and the state of the pipelines is monitored by the city heating networks. The ZHEK is responsible for the elevator element. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of supplying coolant to new house, you need to contact different offices.

Installation of heating devices is carried out in accordance with regulatory documents. If the owner himself replaces the battery, then he is responsible for the functioning of the heating system and changing the temperature regime.

Adjustment methods

Dismantling of the elevator assembly

If the boiler room is responsible for the parameters of the coolant leaving the warm point, then the employees of the housing office should be responsible for the temperature inside the room. Many tenants complain about the cold in the apartments. This is due to the deviation of the temperature graph. In rare cases, it happens that the temperature rises by a certain value.

Heating parameters can be adjusted in three ways:

• Nozzle reaming.

If the temperature of the coolant at the supply and return is significantly underestimated, then it is necessary to increase the diameter of the elevator nozzle. Thus, more liquid will pass through it.

How to do it? To begin with, shut-off valves are closed (house valves and cranes at the elevator unit). Next, the elevator and nozzle are removed. Then it is drilled out by 0.5-2 mm, depending on how much it is necessary to increase the temperature of the coolant. After these procedures, the elevator is mounted in its original place and put into operation.

To ensure sufficient tightness of the flange connection, it is necessary to replace the paronite gaskets with rubber ones.

• Suction dampening.

In severe cold, when there is a problem of freezing of the heating system in the apartment, the nozzle can be completely removed. In this case, the suction can become a jumper. To do this, it is necessary to muffle it with a steel pancake, 1 mm thick. Such a process is carried out only in critical situations, since the temperature in pipelines and heaters will reach 130ºС.

• Drop adjustment.

In the middle of the heating period, a significant increase in temperature can occur. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate it using a special valve on the elevator. To do this, the supply of hot coolant is switched to the supply pipeline. A manometer is mounted on the return. Adjustment occurs by closing the valve on the supply pipeline. Next, the valve opens slightly, and the pressure should be monitored using a pressure gauge. If you just open it, then there will be a drawdown of the cheeks. That is, an increase in the pressure drop occurs in the return pipeline. Every day, the indicator increases by 0.2 atmosphere, and the temperature in the heating system must be constantly monitored.

Heat supply. Video

How the heat supply of private and apartment buildings is arranged can be found in the video below.

When drawing up a temperature schedule for heating, various factors must be taken into account. This list includes not only structural elements building, but the outside temperature, as well as the type of heating system.

In contact with

The normative water temperature in the heating system depends on the air temperature. Therefore, the temperature schedule for the supply of coolant to the heating system is calculated in accordance with weather conditions. In the article we will talk about the requirements of SNiP for the operation of the heating system for objects for various purposes.

from the article you will learn:

In order to economically and rationally use energy resources in the heating system, the heat supply is tied to the air temperature. The dependence of the water temperature in the pipes and the air outside the window is displayed as a graph. The main task of such calculations is to maintain comfortable conditions for residents in apartments. For this, the air temperature should be about + 20 ... + 22ºС.

The temperature of the coolant in the heating system

The stronger the frost, the faster the living quarters heated from the inside lose heat. To compensate for the increased heat loss, the temperature of the water in the heating system increases.

In the calculations, a standard temperature indicator is used. It is calculated according to a special methodology and entered into the governing documentation. This indicator is based on average temperature 5 coldest days of the year The calculation is based on the 8 coldest winters over a 50-year period.

Why is the drawing up of a temperature schedule for the supply of coolant to the heating system happening in this way? The main thing here is to be ready for the most severe frosts that happen every few years. Climatic conditions in a particular region can change over several decades. This will be taken into account when recalculating the schedule.

The value of the average daily temperature is also important for calculating the margin of safety of heating systems. With an understanding of the ultimate load, it is possible to accurately calculate the characteristics of the required pipelines, stop valves and other elements. This saves on the creation of communications. Given the scale of construction for urban heating systems, the amount of savings will be quite large.

The temperature in the apartment directly depends on how much the coolant is heated in the pipes. In addition, other factors also matter here:

• air temperature outside the window;
• wind speed. With strong wind loads, heat losses through doorways and windows increase;
• the quality of the sealing of joints on the walls, as well as general state finishing and insulation of the facade.

Building codes change as technology advances. This is reflected, among other things, in the indicators in the graph of the coolant temperature depending on the outside temperature. If the premises retain heat better, then energy resources can be spent less.

Developers in modern conditions more carefully approach the thermal insulation of facades, foundations, basements and roofs. This increases the value of objects. However, along with the growth of construction costs are reduced. The overpayment at the construction stage pays off over time and gives good savings.

The heating of the premises is directly affected not even by how hot the water in the pipes is. The main thing here is the temperature of the heating radiators. It is usually in the range of + 70 ... + 90ºС.

Several factors affect battery heating.

1. Air temperature.

2. Features of the heating system. The indicator indicated in the temperature chart for supplying coolant to the heating system depends on its type. AT single pipe systems heating of water up to + 105ºС is considered normal. Two-pipe heating due to better circulation gives a higher heat transfer. This allows you to reduce the temperature to + 95ºС. Moreover, if at the inlet the water needs to be heated, respectively, to + 105ºС and + 95ºС, then at the outlet its temperature in both cases should be at the level of + 70ºС.

So that the coolant does not boil when heated above + 100ºС, it is supplied to the pipelines under pressure. Theoretically, it can be quite high. This should provide large stock heat. However, in practice, not all networks allow water to be supplied under great pressure due to its wear and tear. As a result, the temperature drops, and during severe frosts there may be a lack of heat in apartments and other heated premises.

3. The direction of the water supply to the radiators. At the top wiring, the difference is 2ºС, at the bottom - 3ºС.

4. Type of heaters used. Radiators and convectors differ in the amount of heat they give off, which means that they must work in different temperature conditions. Better performance heat transfer from radiators.

At the same time, the amount of heat released is affected, among other things, by the temperature of the outdoor air. It is she who is the determining factor in the temperature schedule for supplying coolant to the heating system.

When the water temperature is +95ºС, we are talking about the coolant at the entrance to the dwelling. Given the heat loss during transportation, the boiler room should heat it much more.

In order to supply water of the required temperature to the heating pipes in apartments, special equipment is installed in the basement. It mixes hot water from the boiler room with the one that comes from the return.

Temperature chart for supplying coolant to the heating system

The graph shows what the water temperature should be at the entrance to the dwelling and at the exit from it, depending on the street temperature.

The presented table will help to easily determine the degree of heating of the coolant in the central heating system.

Temperature indicators of air outside, °С	Temperature indicators of water at the inlet, °С			Temperature indicators of water in the heating system, °С		Temperature indicators of water after the heating system, °С

Representatives of utilities and resource-supplying organizations measure the water temperature using a thermometer. The 5th and 6th columns indicate the figures for the pipeline through which the hot coolant is supplied. 7 column - for the return.

The first three columns indicate elevated temperatures - these are indicators for heat generating organizations. These figures are given without taking into account heat losses that occur during the transportation of the coolant.

The temperature schedule for supplying coolant to the heating system is needed not only by resource-supplying organizations. If the actual temperature differs from the standard one, consumers have reasons to recalculate the cost of the service. In their complaints, they indicate how warm the air in the apartments is. This is the easiest parameter to measure. Inspecting authorities can already track the temperature of the coolant, and if it does not comply with the schedule, force the resource supplying organization to perform its duties.

A reason for complaints appears if the air in the apartment cools below the following values:

• in corner rooms daytime- below +20ºС;
• in the central rooms in the daytime - below + 18ºС;
• in corner rooms at night - below +17ºС;
• in the central rooms at night - below +15ºС.

SNiP

Requirements for the operation of heating systems are fixed in SNiP 41-01-2003. Much attention in this document is given to security issues. In the case of heating, a heated coolant carries a potential hazard, which is why its temperature for residential and public buildings is limited. It, as a rule, does not exceed + 95ºС.

If the water in the internal pipelines of the heating system is heated above + 100ºС, then the following safety measures are provided for at such facilities:

• heating pipes are laid in special mines. In the event of a breakthrough, the coolant will remain in these reinforced channels and will not be a source of danger to people;
• pipelines in high-rise buildings have special structural elements or devices that do not allow water to boil.

If the building has heating made of polymer pipes, then the temperature of the coolant should not exceed + 90ºС.

We have already mentioned above that in addition to the temperature schedule for supplying coolant to the heating system responsible organizations you need to monitor how hot the accessible elements of the heating devices are. These rules are also given in SNiP. Permissible temperatures vary depending on the purpose of the room.

First of all, everything here is determined by the same security rules. For example, in children's and medical institutions, the permissible temperatures are minimal. In public places and at various production facilities, there are usually no special restrictions for them.

Surface of heating radiators general rules should not be heated above +90ºС. If this figure is exceeded, Negative consequences. They consist, first of all, in the burning of paint on batteries, as well as in the combustion of dust in the air. This fills the indoor atmosphere with substances harmful to health. In addition, there may be harm to appearance heating appliances.

Another issue is safety in rooms with hot radiators. According to the general rules, it is supposed to protect heating devices, the surface temperature of which is above + 75ºС. Usually, lattice fences are used for this. They do not interfere with air circulation. At the same time, SNiP provides for mandatory protection of radiators in children's institutions.

In accordance with SNiP, the maximum temperature of the coolant varies depending on the purpose of the room. It is defined as the characteristics of heating different buildings as well as security considerations. For example, in medical institutions, the permissible water temperature in pipes is the lowest. It is + 85ºС.

The maximum heated coolant (up to +150ºС) can be supplied to the following facilities:

• lobbies;
• heated pedestrian crossings;
• landings;
• technical premises;
• industrial buildings, in which there are no aerosols and dust prone to ignition.

The temperature schedule for supplying coolant to the heating system according to SNiP is used only in the cold season. In the warm season, the document in question normalizes the microclimate parameters only in terms of ventilation and air conditioning.
