Building heating engineering

Composition of the heating system:

Heat source – a heat medium preparation facility that enables the fuel to generate heat energy and heat the heat medium, such as a boiler.

Heating pipes - heat medium delivery systems, which refer to the pipes between the heat source and the heat dissipation equipment. The heat medium transports the heat energy from the heat source to the heat dissipation equipment through a piping system.

Heat dissipation equipment - indoor heat medium utilization facilities, equipment that dissipates heat into the room, such as radiators, heaters, radiant panels, etc.

Pipeline Accessories - Heat Medium Conditioning, System Maintenance Facilities.

Classification of heating systems:

Building heating engineering

Classification of heating systems:

1. According to the classification of heating medium (heat medium: the medium substance that transfers heat):

(1) Hot water heating system: The heating system with hot water as the heat medium is mainly used in civil buildings.

(1) Low-temperature hot water heating system: the water supply and return temperature is 95 °C/70 °C or 85 °C/60 °C, which is generally used in civil buildings.

(2) High-temperature hot water heating system: the water supply temperature is higher than 100 °C. Generally, it should be applied in production plants. The design supply and return temperature is mostly 120~130°C/70~80°C.

(2) Steam heating system: The heating system with water vapor as the heat medium is mainly used in industrial buildings.

(1) Low-pressure steam heating system: the relative pressure of steam is less than 70kPa

(2) High-pressure steam heating system: the relative pressure of steam is 70~300kPa

(3) Hot air heating system: The heating system uses hot air as the heat medium to heat the air to 30~50 °C and send it directly into the room. It is mainly used in large industrial workshops. For example, heaters, hot air curtains, etc. are typical equipment for hot air heating.

Hot air heating uses air as the heat medium, its density is small, the specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity are very small, so the heating and cooling are relatively fast. However, the specific volume is large, and the required pipeline section area is relatively large.

(4) Flue gas heating system: The high-temperature flue gas generated by fuel combustion is used as the heat medium to bring heat to the heat dissipation equipment. For example, the forms of stoves, fire walls, fire pits, and fire fields are widely used in the vast villages and towns in the north of the mainland.

Although flue gas heating is simple and practical, because most of them belong to the local combustion fuel in simple combustion equipment, the fuel can not be used reasonably, the combustion is insufficient, the heat loss is large, the thermal efficiency is low, the fuel consumption is more, and the temperature is high, the sanitary conditions are not good enough, and the danger of fire is large.

2. According to the different heating areas:

(1) Local heating system

Heat sources, pipes, and heat dissipation equipment are combined into a single unit and dispersed in various rooms, which is called local heating. For example, stoves, fire walls, ondols, electric infrared heating, electric heating, gas or natural gas heating (wall-hung boilers) are all local heating.

Features: simple, poor sanitary conditions, high energy consumption.

(2) Central heating system

The heating system in which the heat source and the heat dissipation equipment are set separately, and the heat source supplies heat to each room or each building through the heat medium pipe, which is called a centralized heating system.

Features: large heat supply, fuel saving, low pollution.

The central heating system with hot water and steam as the heat medium can better meet the requirements of people's life, work and production for indoor temperature, and has good sanitary conditions, reduces environmental pollution, and is widely used in building heating projects.

(3) District heating system

A heating system that uses a regional boiler house as a heat source to heat many buildings in an area.

Hot Water Heating System:

1. Classification of hot water heating system

1. According to the different hot water heating cycle power, it is divided into natural circulation system and mechanical circulation system.

Circulatory power: The natural circulation system relies on the density difference of water for circulation; The mechanical circulation system relies on the pressure of the water pump for circulation.

Building heating engineering

Single-pipe system: Hot water flows sequentially through risers or horizontal supply pipes and cools in each radiator sequentially.

Double-pipe system: Hot water is distributed to multiple sets of radiators in parallel through the water supply riser or horizontal water supply pipe, and the cooled return water flows from each radiator directly along the return riser or horizontal return pipe back to the heat source.

3. According to the different ways of laying the pipeline of the system, it can be divided into vertical and horizontal systems.

4. According to the different temperature of the heat medium, it can be divided into low-temperature water heating system and high-temperature water heating system.

Vertical :

Single-tube upper and lower return type: (1) downstream type; (2) Leapfrogging.

2. Natural circulation of hot water heating system

1. Working principle: Before the system is running, the whole system should be filled with cold water. When the system is working, the water is heated in the boiler, the density becomes smaller, the hot water rises along the water supply pipeline and flows into the radiator, the hot water releases heat in the radiator, the temperature decreases, the density becomes larger, and then flows back to the boiler along the return pipe.

Building heating engineering

2. Features of natural circulating hot water heating system:

Advantages: simple device, easy operation, labor-saving maintenance and management, no power consumption, no noise, etc.

Disadvantages: Due to the limited pressure of the system, the flow rate of the pipeline is small, resulting in a large pipe diameter, resulting in a high initial investment. Due to the small circulating pressure, the radius of the natural circulation system should not exceed 50m, and it can only be used in a single building.

Building heating engineering

3. Mechanical circulation of hot water heating system

Building heating engineering

1. Working principle: using the forced circulation of the water pump, the popular resistance of the water flow in the whole annular pipeline is overcome by the power provided by the water pump, and the head size of the water pump is determined by the flow resistance.

2. Features: The circulating water pump is set up, which increases the regular operation electricity cost and maintenance workload of the system, but the pressure generated by the water pump is very large, so the heating range can be expanded, not only for single building heating, but also for multiple buildings, district heating, and widely used.

3. The difference between the two systems:

(1) The cycle power is different; (2) The connection points of the expansion tank are different.

4. Commonly used pipe network forms

1) Double-tube upper and lower return type

Building heating engineering

(1) Structural form

The water supply main pipe is located at the top of the system, the return water main pipe is located in the lower part of the system, generally located in the trench, the water supply pipe and the return pipe of the radiator are set up separately, each group of radiators can form a circulating loop, the water supply temperature of each group of radiators is basically the same, and each group of radiators can adjust the flow of heat medium by themselves, and they are not affected by each other.

The main water supply pipe should be set up with an upward slope according to the direction of the water flow, so that the bubbles flow with the direction of the water flow to the highest point of the system, and the air will be discharged out of the system by setting an exhaust device at the highest point.

The slope direction of the backwater main pipe is the same as that of the natural circulation system, and the slope should be 0.003.

(2) Features:   

The circulation of hot water mainly depends on the action pressure of the water pump, and there is also a natural action pressure, the upper layer action pressure is large, the flow rate through the radiator is more, the lower action pressure is small, and the flow through the radiator is less, thus causing the "vertical imbalance" phenomenon of upper heat and lower cold, the more floors, the more serious the imbalance phenomenon.

(3) Occasions of use: In buildings with less than 4 floors.

2) Double pipe lower for lower return type

Building heating engineering
Building heating engineering

(1) Structural characteristics:

(1) The main pipe of water supply and the main pipe of return water are laid in the trench or basement, and the pipe insulation effect is good and the heat loss is less.

(2) The main pipes for water supply and return are laid under the bottom radiator, and it is difficult to remove air in the system. There are two main methods of exhausting; One is to manually disperse the exhaust through the exhaust valve of the top radiator; The other is through a special air pipe, manual or centralized automatic exhaust.

2) Mechanical circulation single tube upper supply and lower return type

(1) Structural form

The water supply and return risers of the radiators of the single-pipe system share a single pipe, and the radiators on the risers are connected in series to form a circulating loop. The inlet water temperature of the radiators on each floor from top to bottom is different, and the temperature decreases in turn, and the heat medium flow rate of each group of radiators cannot be adjusted individually.

According to the different structural forms, it can be divided into a single pipe for the upper and lower flow of the downstream type, and a single pipe for the upper and lower back of the leapfrog type.

Building heating engineering

(2) Features

For single-tube systems, because the radiators of each layer are connected in series on a circulating pipeline, the pressure generated by the gradual cooling process from top to bottom can be superimposed to form a total pressure, so there is no vertical misalignment problem of double-pipe system in single-tube systems. Even if the lowest radiator is lower than the center of the boiler, the water can be circulated. Due to the low temperature of the heat medium at the inlet of the lower radiator, the area of the lower radiator is more than that of the upper layer.

(3) Applicable occasions

In multi-storey and high-rise buildings, a single-pipe system is preferable.

4) Middle-fed system

(1) Structural form

The horizontal water supply main pipe is laid in the middle of the system, and the upper system can be used for the lower supply and lower return type, and the lower system can be used for the upper supply and lower return type.

Building heating engineering

(2) Features

It alleviates the phenomenon that there are too many upper and lower circulation floors and is prone to vertical misalignment, and at the same time, it can avoid the low height of the bottom of the top beam and cause the water supply main pipe to block the top window and hinder its opening.

(3) Applicable occasions

It can be used for the addition of floors to the original building or when the upper floor area is smaller than the lower floor area.

5) Bottom supply and upper return type (reverse flow type)

(1) Structural form

The water supply main pipe is located above all radiator equipment, the return water main pipe is located under all radiators, and the expansion tank is connected to the return water main. The return water flows back to the boiler room through the expansion tank, and is then pumped into the boiler by the circulating water pump.

Building heating engineering

(2) Features:

(1) The flow direction of water in the system is from bottom to top, which is consistent with the direction of air flow, and the air can be discharged through the expansion tank, and there is no need to set up exhaust devices such as centralized exhaust tanks.

(2) For the ground floor room with large heat loss, due to the high water supply temperature of the bottom floor, the area of the bottom radiator is reduced, which is convenient for arrangement.

(3) The main pipe of water supply is in the lower part, and the main pipe of return water is in the upper part, so the ineffective heat loss is small.

Building heating engineering

6) Horizontal tandem type

(1) Structural form

One riser connects multiple sets of radiators horizontally in series. When there are many radiators in series, the horizontal misalignment phenomenon of overheating at the front end and overcooling at the end is prone to occur during operation. 8-12 groups of radiators per loop are appropriate.

According to the connection between the water supply pipe and the radiator, it can be divided into downstream type and leapfrog type.

Building heating engineering

(2) Features

Advantages: simple system, simple installation, less wear floor slabs, convenient construction; The total cost of the system is lower than that of the vertical type; Buildings with different use functions and different temperature requirements for each floor are convenient for layered adjustment and management.

7) Heterogeneous system and co-programming system

In the layout of the main pipes of the heating system for water supply and return, the arrangement form of unequal total length of the circulating loop through each riser is called a heterogeneous system. The arrangement of the total length of the circulating loop through the individual risers is equal to that of the same programmatic system.

Building heating engineering

Different formula: the total length of the circulating loop through each riser is not equal, the flow distributed by the near riser is more, the room is overheated, and the flow distributed by the far riser is less, and the room is too cold.

Building heating engineering

Same formula: The total length of the circulating loop through each riser is equal, the pressure loss of the loop is easy to balance, and the pipe material is consumed.

Building heating engineering

9) Household metering hot water heating system

It is an important technical measure for building energy saving, improving indoor heating quality and intelligent management of heating system.

For the new residential hot water central heating system, the household heat metering and room temperature control devices should be set up, and the heat metering and charging should be implemented.

Household heat metering: Separately measure the heating heat supplied to the household in the unit of household (set).

Building heating engineering

(1) Single-tube system with spanning tubes

It can be used in new residential buildings, the main pipe is buried in the ground floor, the system is simple, but the radiator temperature control valve needs to be added.

Building heating engineering

(2) Double-tube upper supply upper return type

Features: The amount of pipes is large, which affects the appearance, but it can control a certain group of radiators separately, which is conducive to energy saving.

Building heating engineering

(3) Double-pipe lower for lower return type

It is suitable for new residential buildings, and the main pipe for water supply and return is buried in the ground floor, and the maintenance of water leakage is complicated.

Building heating engineering

(4) Double-tube upper and lower return type

Building heating engineering

(5) Horizontal double-tube radial type

For new residential buildings, the water supply and return pipes are buried in the ground floor, and the buried pipes have no joints. However, the amount of pipes is large, and water separators and water collectors need to be set.

5. Radiant floor heating system

Radiant heating is a heating method that uses the heat emitted by radiant radiator equipment on the roof, ground, wall or other surfaces in the building to meet the heating requirements of the room or local working point.

It is a combination system of radiative heat transfer and convective heat transfer of air that uses low-temperature hot water or high-temperature water to heat the surrounding walls and ground temperatures.

1. The principle of floor hot water heating

Low-temperature hot water floor radiant heating is low-temperature radiant heating with hot water not higher than 60°C as the heat medium, and the heating pipe is buried in the floor.

2. Analysis of the characteristics of radiant floor heating

Compared with ordinary radiator heating, underfloor heating has the following advantages:

(1) Improve the comfort of indoor heating

(2) Effectively save energy

(3) The effective usable area of the room has been expanded

(4) Improve the sanitary conditions of heating

(5) Reduced floor noise

(6) Wide selection of heat sources: the water supply ≤ 60 °C, and the temperature difference of the return water ≤ 10 °C. Such as industrial waste heat boiler water, various air conditioning return water, geothermal water, etc.

Disadvantages of underfloor heating:

(1) Floor heating is a buried concealed project, which has potential safety hazards.

(2) The height of the space to be occupied is at least 60-80cm, and the height difference is formed with other indoor spaces without radiant heating, and the ground load needs to be increased by about 120kg/m2.

(3) The requirements for the temperature and flow of the heat medium are different from those of the original radiator heating system, and a separate heat source system needs to be set up.

(4) Due to the small temperature difference of the heat medium and the large corresponding flow rate, the cross-section of the heat medium transmission pipeline and the energy consumption of the transmission are about twice as large as that of the radiator heating system.

(5) The material and construction market is worrisome, and the construction, commissioning and acceptance procedures are difficult; The technical principles and basic data of the design are still in the process of understanding and lagging behind the application.
