Heating point individual

A thermal installation that deals with or of its individual parts is an individual heating point, or abbreviated ITP. It is intended to provide hot water supply, ventilation and heat to residential buildings, housing and communal services, as well as industrial complexes.

For its operation, it will be necessary to connect to the water and heat system, as well as the power supply necessary to activate the circulation pumping equipment.

A small individual heating point can be used in a single-family house or a small building connected directly to the centralized heating network. Such equipment is designed for space heating and water heating.

A large individual heating point is engaged in the maintenance of large or multi-apartment buildings. Its power ranges from 50 kW to 2 MW.

Main tasks

The individual heat point provides the following tasks:

  • Accounting for heat and coolant consumption.
  • Protection of the heat supply system from an emergency increase in the parameters of the coolant.
  • Shutdown of the heat consumption system.
  • Uniform distribution of the coolant throughout the heat consumption system.
  • Adjustment and control of parameters of the circulating liquid.
  • coolant.

Advantages

  • High economy.
  • Long-term operation of an individual heating point has shown that modern equipment of this type, unlike other non-automated processes, consumes 30% less
  • Operating costs are reduced by about 40-60%.
  • Choice optimal mode heat consumption and precise adjustment will reduce the loss of thermal energy by up to 15%.
  • Silent operation.
  • Compactness.
  • The overall dimensions of modern heat points are directly related to the heat load. With compact placement, an individual heating point with a load of up to 2 Gcal / h occupies an area of ​​25-30 m 2.
  • Possibility of location this device in the basement of small-sized premises (both in existing and newly built buildings).
  • The work process is fully automated.

  • The ability to set the mode, focusing on the time of day, the use of the weekend and holiday, as well as carrying out weather compensation.
  • Individual production depending on the requirements of the customer.

Thermal energy accounting

The basis of energy saving measures is the metering device. This accounting is required to perform calculations for the amount of consumed thermal energy between the heat supply company and the subscriber. After all, very often estimated consumption much more than the actual one due to the fact that when calculating the load, heat energy suppliers overestimate their values, referring to additional expenses. Similar situations will avoid the installation of metering devices.

Appointment of metering devices

  • Ensuring fair financial settlements between consumers and suppliers of energy resources.
  • Documentation of heating system parameters such as pressure, temperature and flow rate.
  • Control of rational use power systems.
  • Control over the hydraulic and thermal regime of the heat consumption and heat supply system.

The classic scheme of the meter

  • Thermal energy counter.
  • Pressure gauge.
  • Thermometer.
  • Thermal converter in the return and supply pipeline.
  • Primary flow converter.
  • Mesh-magnetic filter.

Service

  • Connecting a reader and then taking readings.
  • Analysis of errors and finding out the reasons for their occurrence.
  • Checking the integrity of seals.
  • Analysis of results.
  • Checking technological indicators, as well as comparing the readings of thermometers on the supply and return pipelines.
  • Adding oil to the sleeves, cleaning the filters, checking the ground contacts.
  • Removal of dirt and dust.
  • Recommendations for correct operation internal heating networks.

Heating substation scheme

  • Entering the heating network.
  • Metering device.
  • Connecting the ventilation system.
  • Connection heating system.
  • Hot water connection.
  • Coordination of pressures between heat consumption and heat supply systems.
  • Make-up of heating and ventilation systems connected according to an independent scheme.

When developing a project for a heating point, the obligatory nodes are:

  • Metering device.
  • Pressure matching.
  • Entering the heating network.

Completion with other nodes, as well as their number is selected depending on the design solution.

Consumption systems

The standard scheme of an individual heat point can have the following systems for providing thermal energy to consumers:

  • Heating.
  • Hot water supply.
  • Heating and hot water supply.
  • Heating and ventilation.

ITP for heating

ITP (individual heating point) - an independent scheme, with the installation of a plate heat exchanger, which is designed for 100% load. Installation of the double pump compensating losses of level of pressure is provided. The heating system is fed from the return pipeline of the heating networks.

This heating point can be additionally equipped with a hot water supply unit, a metering device, as well as other necessary units and assemblies.

Additionally, the heating point can be equipped with a heating system unit, a metering device and other necessary units and assemblies.

ITP for heating and hot water

In this case, the operation of an individual heating point (ITP) is organized according to an independent scheme. For the heating system, a plate heat exchanger is provided, which is designed for 100% load. The hot water supply scheme is independent, two-stage, with two plate-type heat exchangers. In order to compensate for the decrease in the pressure level, a group of pumps is provided.

The heating system is fed with the help of appropriate pumping equipment from the return pipeline of heating networks. The hot water supply is fed from the cold water supply system.

In addition, ITP (individual heating point) is equipped with a metering device.

ITP for heating, hot water supply and ventilation

The connection of the thermal installation is carried out according to an independent scheme. For heating and ventilation system a plate heat exchanger is used, designed for 100% load. The hot water supply scheme is independent, parallel, single-stage, with two plate heat exchangers, each designed for 50% of the load. The pressure drop is compensated by a group of pumps.

The heating system is fed from the return pipe of the heating networks. The hot water supply is fed from the cold water supply system.

Additionally, an individual heating point can be equipped with a metering device.

Principle of operation

The scheme of the heat point directly depends on the characteristics of the source supplying energy to the ITP, as well as on the characteristics of the consumers it serves. The most common for this thermal installation is closed system hot water supply with connection of the heating system according to an independent scheme.

An individual heating point has the following principle of operation:

  • Through the supply pipeline, the coolant enters the ITP, gives off heat to the heaters of the heating and hot water supply systems, and also enters the ventilation system.
  • Then the coolant is sent to the return pipeline and flows back through the main network for reuse to a heat generating company.
  • A certain amount of coolant can be consumed by consumers. To make up for losses at the heat source in CHPs and boiler houses, make-up systems are provided, which use the water treatment systems of these enterprises as a heat source.
  • Incoming in thermal plant tap water flows through the pumping equipment of the cold water supply system. Then some of its volume is delivered to consumers, the other is heated in the first stage hot water heater, after which it is sent to the hot water circulation circuit.
  • Water in the circulation circuit by means of circulation pumping equipment for hot water supply moves in a circle from the heat point to consumers and back. At the same time, as necessary, consumers take water from the circuit.
  • As the fluid circulates around the circuit, it gradually releases own warmth. To keep on optimal level temperature of the coolant, it is regularly heated in the second stage of the hot water heater.
  • The heating system is also closed loop, along which the coolant moves with the help of circulation pumps from the heat point to consumers and vice versa.
  • During operation, leakage of coolant from the heating circuit may occur. The losses are replenished by the ITP replenishment system, which uses primary heating network as a heat source.

An individual heating point is designed to save heat, regulate supply parameters. This is a complex located in a separate room. Can be used in private or apartment building. ITP (individual heating point), what it is, how it is arranged and functions, we will consider in more detail.

ITP: tasks, functions, purpose

By definition, ITP is a heat point that heats buildings in whole or in part. The complex receives energy from the network (central heating substation, central heating unit or boiler house) and distributes it to consumers:

  • GVS (hot water supply);
  • heating;
  • ventilation.

At the same time, there is the possibility of regulation, since the heating mode in the living room, basement, warehouse is different. The ITP has the following main tasks.

  • Accounting for heat consumption.
  • Protection from accidents, monitoring of parameters for safety.
  • Shutdown of the consumption system.
  • Uniform distribution of heat.
  • Adjustment of characteristics, management of temperature and other parameters.
  • Coolant conversion.

Buildings are retrofitted to install ITPs, which is costly but rewarding. The item is located in a separate technical or basement, an extension to the house or a separately located nearby structure.

Benefits of having an ITP

Significant costs for the establishment of an ITP are allowed due to the advantages that follow from the presence of an item in the building.

  • Profitability (in terms of consumption - by 30%).
  • Reducing operating costs by up to 60%.
  • Heat consumption is monitored and accounted for.
  • Mode optimization reduces losses by up to 15%. It takes into account the time of day, weekends, weather.
  • Heat is distributed according to consumption conditions.
  • Consumption can be adjusted.
  • The type of coolant is subject to change if necessary.
  • Low accident rate, high operational safety.
  • Full process automation.
  • Noiselessness.
  • Compactness, dependence of dimensions on loading. Item can be placed in the basement.
  • Maintenance of heating points does not require numerous personnel.
  • Provides comfort.
  • The equipment is completed under the order.

Controlled heat consumption, the ability to influence performance attracts in terms of savings, rational resource consumption. Therefore, it is considered that the costs are recouped within an acceptable period.

Types of TP

The difference between TP is in the number and types of consumption systems. Features of the type of consumer predetermine the scheme and characteristics of the required equipment. The method of installation and arrangement of the complex in the room differs. There are the following types.

  • ITP for a single building or part of it, located in the basement, technical room or adjacent building.
  • TsTP - the central TP serves a group of buildings or objects. It is located in one of the basements or a separate building.
  • BTP - block heat point. Includes one or more blocks manufactured and delivered in production. Features compact installation, used to save space. Can perform the function of ITP or TsTP.

Principle of operation

The design scheme depends on the energy source and the specifics of consumption. The most popular is independent, for a closed DHW system. Principle ITP work next.

  1. The heat carrier comes to the point through the pipeline, giving the temperature to the heaters for heating, hot water and ventilation.
  2. The heat carrier goes to the return pipeline to the heat generating enterprise. Reused, but some may be used up by the consumer.
  3. Heat losses are compensated by make-up available in CHP and boiler houses (water treatment).
  4. Tap water enters the thermal installation, passing through a pump for cold water supply. Part of it goes to the consumer, the rest is heated by the 1st stage heater, going to the DHW circuit.
  5. The DHW pump moves water in a circle, passing through the TP, the consumer, returns with a partial flow.
  6. The 2nd stage heater operates regularly when the fluid loses heat.

The coolant (in this case, water) moves along the circuit, which is facilitated by 2 circulation pumps. Its leakages are possible, which are replenished by make-up from the primary heating network.

circuit diagram

This or that ITP scheme has features that depend on the consumer. A central heat supplier is important. The most common option is a closed DHW system with independent heating connection. A heat carrier enters the TP through the pipeline, is realized when heating water for the systems and returns. For return, there is a return pipeline going to the main to the central point - the heat generation enterprise.

Heating and hot water supply are arranged in the form of circuits along which a heat carrier moves with the help of pumps. The first one is designed as closed loop with possible leaks replenished from the primary network. And the second circuit is circular, equipped with pumps for hot water supply, which supplies water to the consumer for consumption. In case of heat loss, heating is carried out by the second heating stage.

ITP for different consumption purposes

Being equipped for heating, the IHS has an independent circuit in which a plate heat exchanger is installed with 100% load. Pressure loss is prevented by installing a double pump. Make-up is carried out from the return pipeline in thermal networks. Additionally, the TP is completed with metering devices, a hot water supply unit in the presence of other necessary units.


The ITP designed for DHW is an independent circuit. In addition, it is parallel and single-stage, equipped with two plate heat exchangers loaded at 50%. There are pumps that compensate for the decrease in pressure, metering devices. Other nodes are expected. Such heat points operate according to an independent scheme.

This is interesting! The principle of implementation of district heating for the heating system can be based on a plate heat exchanger with 100% load. And the DHW has a two-stage scheme with two similar devices loaded by 1/2 each. Pumps for various purposes compensate for the decreasing pressure and feed the system from the pipeline.

For ventilation, a plate heat exchanger with 100% load is used. DHW is provided by two such devices, loaded by 50%. Through the operation of several pumps, the pressure level is compensated and make-up is made. Addition - accounting device.

Installation steps

The TP of a building or object undergoes a step-by-step procedure during installation. The mere desire of the tenants in an apartment building is not enough.

  • Obtaining the consent of the owners of the premises of a residential building.
  • Application to heat supply companies for designing in a particular house, development of technical specifications.
  • Issuance of specifications.
  • Inspection of a residential or other object for the project, determining the availability and condition of equipment.
  • Automatic TP will be designed, developed and approved.
  • The contract is concluded.
  • The ITP project for a residential building or other object is being implemented, tests are being carried out.

Attention! All stages can be completed in a couple of months. The care is assigned to the responsible specialized organization. To be successful, a company must be well established.

Operational safety

The automatic heat point is serviced by properly qualified employees. The staff is familiar with the rules. There are also prohibitions: automation does not start if there is no water in the system, pumps do not turn on if the shut-off valves are blocked at the inlet.
Need to control:

  • pressure parameters;
  • noises;
  • vibration level;
  • engine heating.

The control valve must not be subjected to excessive force. If the system is under pressure, the regulators are not disassembled. Pipelines are flushed before start-up.

Approval for operation

The operation of AITP complexes (automated ITP) requires a permit, for which documentation is provided to Energonadzor. These are the technical conditions for connection and a certificate of their execution. Need:

  • agreed project documentation;
  • act of responsibility for operation, balance of ownership from the parties;
  • act of readiness;
  • heat points must have a passport with heat supply parameters;
  • readiness of the heat energy metering device - document;
  • certificate of the existence of an agreement with the energy company to ensure heat supply;
  • act of acceptance of work from the company producing the installation;
  • Order appointing a person responsible for the maintenance, serviceability, repair and safety of the ATP (automated heating point);
  • a list of persons responsible for the maintenance of AITP units and their repair;
  • a copy of the document on the qualification of the welder, certificates for electrodes and pipes;
  • acts on other actions, the executive scheme of the automated heating unit, including pipelines, fittings;
  • an act on pressure testing, flushing of heating, hot water supply, which includes an automated point;
  • briefing.


An admission certificate is drawn up, magazines are started: operational, on briefing, issuing orders, detecting defects.

ITP of an apartment building

An automated individual heating point in a multi-storey residential building transports heat from the central heating station, boiler houses or CHP (combined heat and power plant) to heating, hot water supply and ventilation. Such innovations (automatic heat point) save up to 40% or more of heat energy.

Attention! The system uses a source - heat networks to which it is connected. The need for coordination with these organizations.

A lot of data is required to calculate the modes, load and savings results for payment in housing and communal services. Without this information, the project will not be completed. Without approval, ITP will not issue a permit for operation. Residents receive the following benefits.

  • Greater accuracy in the operation of devices to maintain temperature.
  • Heating is carried out with a calculation that includes the state of the outside air.
  • Amounts for services on utility bills are reduced.
  • Automation simplifies facility maintenance.
  • Reduced repair costs and staffing levels.
  • Finances are saved for the consumption of thermal energy from a centralized supplier (boiler houses, thermal power plants, central heating stations).

Conclusion: how the savings work

The heating point of the heating system is equipped with a metering unit during commissioning, which is a guarantee of savings. Heat consumption readings are taken from the instruments. Accounting itself does not reduce costs. The source of savings is the possibility of changing modes and the absence of overestimation of indicators by energy supply companies, their exact determination. It will be impossible to write off additional costs, leaks, expenses on such a consumer. Payback occurs within 5 months, as an average value with savings of up to 30%.

Automated supply of coolant from a centralized supplier - heating mains. Installation of a modern heating and ventilation unit makes it possible to take into account seasonal and daily temperature changes during operation. Correction mode - automatic. Heat consumption is reduced by 30% with a payback of 2 to 5 years.
