Abstract

The purpose of this work is to develop a year-round energy-efficient air conditioning system for the temple complex, that meets modern engineering requirements and standards. And it should not violate the traditional appearance of an Orthodox church.In this article there are considered the requirements and standards for the construction of the temple complex together with the architectural solution and the geographical location of the construction entity. The proposed air conditioning system (ACS) with a pneumohydraulic diagram and design modes is described. This system is valid for the summer and winter seasons. The main element of the ACS of the temple complex is an array of heat pipes. The efficiency of the installation is achieved, first of all, due to the recovery of soil heat in the annual cycle. In addition, efficiency is increased by utilizing the heat of the waste air stream and indoor recirculation systems. The article represents a constructive solution for the proposed heat pipe and its design modes of operation in the summer and winter periods together with the expected technical characteristics in different modes of operation, as well as design options for the upper heat exchanger. There is given the concept of the arrangement of the elements of the pneumohydraulic diagram on the cartographic plan of the building and their mutual correlation with the intensity of the operating mode for the soil. And the last, but not least, the article represents a simulation of the annual soil regime, calculated by the finite element method, performed in the ANSYS computational environment.

Highlights

In our country, there are many destroyed churches, that have not yet been restored
There is a problem in the summer mode of operation - the boiling of the refrigerant must be carried out in the upper heat exchanger (UHPE), and the condensation - in the lower heat exchanger (LHPE), while the liquid refrigerant cannot independently rise upward, even with the help of capillary forces, since the height of the heat pipe is several times exceeds the height of the capillary rise
The developed diagram and unit for it would allow to reduce the costs of the building's air conditioning system (ACS), both in summer and winter modes

Summary

INTRODUCTION

There are many destroyed churches, that have not yet been restored. Some of them are of cultural heritage sites, while others unload large temples being more accessible due to their location. The task of this work is to develop a year-round energy-efficient air conditioning system for the temple complex that should meet modern engineering requirements and standards. It should not violate the traditional appearance of an Orthodox church. There is a problem in the summer mode of operation - the boiling of the refrigerant must be carried out in the upper heat exchanger (UHPE), and the condensation - in the lower heat exchanger (LHPE), while the liquid refrigerant cannot independently rise upward, even with the help of capillary forces, since the height of the heat pipe is several times exceeds the height of the capillary rise This difficulty was solved by installing a submersible pump inside the heat pipe. The hydraulic resistance of the heat exchanger with horizontal plates is significantly better
