ENSURING OF PARAMETRIC RELIABILITY OF HEAT SUPPLY SYSTEMS

Abstract

The paper suggests a methodology to determine optimal reliability parameters (failure and restoration rates) of heat supply system components, which provide the required level of heat supply reliability. The methodology of solving the stated problem is based on the methods of the theory of hydraulic circuits, nodal reliability indices of heat supply, models of Markov random process and general regularities of cogeneration and heat transfer processes. The results of the practical research based on the calculation experiment that confirms the viability of the presented methodology for the schemes of real heat supply systems are presented.
