Improving the Efficiency and Reliability of the Internal Heating System on the Example of a Shopping Center

Abstract

Shopping centers belong to the type of buildings in which all internal engineering systems are present. Therefore, the study of the shopping center, as an example of carrying out work on the application of various proposals for the use of secondary energy in the complex and, consequently, for energy saving and improving reliability and efficiency, is relevant. In addition, the use of various heat carriers allows us to consider the issue of energy saving more widely. The article compares the traditional heat supply system and the combined system, as well as the development of optimal energy-ecological solutions for the design of the heat supply system of a shopping center using the heat of condensation of refrigeration equipment used to comply with the technological process of cooking and storing food. The peculiarity of the proposed solution is that CO2 is used as a refrigerant in the refrigeration system, which is proposed to be used as a heat carrier for heating water in the hot water supply system.
