m325dropt: Minenergo-325. Temperature drop in pipe due heat losses

In pipenostics: Diagnostics, Reliability and Predictive Maintenance of Pipeline Systems

Description

Calculate temperature drop in steel pipe of district heating system (where water is a heat carrier) that is a result of heat losses through pipe wall and insulation using Minenergo Order 325 as a basis for values of heating flux.

Since Minenergo Order 325 is used as the basis for values of heating flux the calculated temperature drop may be considered as a normative temperature drop. If the actual (somehow measured) temperature drop is more than this normative temperature drop they may consider such difference to be due to extra-normative heat losses. The presence of the latter requires appropriate maintenance activities.

Usage

m325dropt(
  temperature = 130,
  pressure = mpa_kgf(6),
  consumption = 250,
  d = 700,
  len = 1,
  year = 1986,
  insulation = 0,
  laying = "underground",
  beta = FALSE,
  exp5k = TRUE
)

Arguments

temperature	temperature of heat carrier (water) inside the pipe measured at the entrance of pipe, [°C]. Type: assert_double.
pressure	absolute pressure of heat carrier (water) inside the pipe, [MPa]. Type: assert_double.
consumption	amount of heat carrier (water) that is transferred by pipe during a period, [ton/hour]. Type: assert_double.
d	internal diameter of pipe, [mm]. Type: assert_double.
len	length of pipe, [m]. Type: assert_double.
year	year when the pipe is put in operation after laying or total overhaul. Type: assert_integerish.
insulation	insulation that covers the exterior of pipe: 0 no insulation 1 foamed polyurethane or analogue 2 polymer concrete Type: assert_subset.
laying	type of pipe laying depicting the position of pipe in space: air, channel, room, tunnel, underground. Type: assert_subset.
beta	should they consider additional heat losses of fittings? Type: assert_logical.
exp5k	pipe regime flag: is pipe operated more that 5000 hours per year? Type: assert_logical.

Details

The function is a simple wrapper for call of dropt with parameter flux calculated by m325nhl.

Value

normative temperature drop at the outlet of pipe, [°C]. Type: assert_double.
