Features of hydraulic modes of low pressure gas networks

Abstract

In conditions of modern gas supply, the gas parameters are not constant. In this regard, gas appliances operate at different pressures. In operation, the change in the thermal load of the devices is due to fluctuations in the gas pressure in the city network. These oscillations are associated with the gas oscillations at the outlet from the gas regulating station. The main indicator of qualitative combustion of gas in appliances is the completeness of combustion, and this depends on maintaining the nominal pressure. The time during which the combustion process is completed consists of the time necessary for the formation of a gas-air mixture of stoichiometric composition, for heat the mixture to the ignition temperature, and of the time during which the combustible components of the gas react with oxygen.
