USE OF SECONDARY ENERGY RESOURCES TO PROVIDE HOT WATER SUPPLY TO BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

The paper assesses the possibility of using secondary energy resources to provide hot water supply to buildings and constructions. The introduction of recovery systems by using previously unused cheap waste heat energy helps to reduce the amount of energy produced and consumed, increase energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which correspond to the development strategy of the construction industry and housing and communal services in the field of environmental protection and energy saving. A method for using the waste heat energy of refrigeration plants to provide hot water supply to an apartment building is proposed. This method makes it possible to ensure uninterrupted supply of hot water to consumers with minimal dependence on the operation of centralized heat supply systems. The minimum power of waste thermal energy sources necessary for the organization of such systems is calculated, and possible sources of secondary energy resources are proposed.
