Abstract:

In order to solve the thermal insulation problem in the long-distance transportation of cogeneration steam,a pipe network project undertaken was simulated to study its heat dissipation characteristics under different laying schemes.And the steam parameters at the network's user side were calculated based on the design load.The simulation results show that laying an air layer and soil over the steam heating pipes can reduce the heat loss of the pipes to a certain extent,so as to improve the thermal insulation of the pipelines.The heat loss of the directly buried section is less than that of the overhead pipe section.Since the increase of the load will reduce the temperature drop of the pipe and increase the pressure drop,condensation will occur at some user ends when the load of the pipe network is low.This simulation facilitates the theoretical study on heating pipe allocation optimization.

Key words: numerical simulation, cogeneration, heating pipe network, energy conservation and loss reduction, steam heating
