A heat point is a special scheme for obtaining and distributing heat energy, transferring a heat carrier from the main network to distributed heating networks (in our case, to each specific consumer). This is a complex engineering complex that includes many different elements. As a rule, heat points are located in detached buildings and simultaneously serve several buildings, the list of which may include residential buildings and industrial or public buildings. Currently, some buildings are equipped with individual heating points, which are located directly in the building and which serve only this building. The key to successful, trouble-free, well-coordinated work of the TP is its correct design and installation.
The main principle adhered to by the designers and installers of the TP is to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the point. The complex of equipment is formed in such a way as to provide consumers with heat and hot water even in the event of an emergency shutdown. In order to carry out a high-level installation, little is needed. Firstly, a competent project, approved by the heat supply organization and meeting all norms and requirements. Secondly, competent specialists who can easily understand all the intricacies and nuances of project documentation, who know firsthand what heat exchangers and pumps. Installation begins with the agreement with the customer on the initial conditions and technical data, a thorough clarification of the situation, and documents serve as the source of data. In general, the project contains several main sections, in particular, it should cover in detail the thermal and mechanical aspects, the features of automation and power supply of TP, the specifics of heat metering.
Installation of TP involves several stages of work. In most cases, the scheme is as follows. At the first stage, the equipment is completed, that is, a decision is made about which equipment and how it will be used. Further, all equipment is mounted and connected to each other by pipelines. After that, electrical installation work and the introduction of instrumentation and automation begin - to ensure the operability of all mechanisms and simplify the metering of heat energy and control over the operation of equipment. At the final stage, commissioning works are carried out, all errors and shortcomings in the operation of the equipment are identified and eliminated. After eliminating all the shortcomings, the object can be handed over to the customer and presented to the technical supervision authorities.
