| Summary: | The paper suggests the methodology to assess the reliability of both the heat network schemes under design and the existing heat network schemes, that allows to determine availability factor and failure-free operation probability on the basis of the input data including the length, diameter and exploitation time of pipeline segments of the heat networks. As a result of the research, the additional factors that have a significant impact on the reliability of heat supply to consumers have been determined. The impact of these factors on the heat network reliability relying on the experimental data provided by regional heat supply organizations has been assessed. Additional factors were taken into account when developing a new methodology and algorithm for calculating heat supply reliability indices. The program for calculating the consumer heat supply reliability is worked out. |
