Abstract
Introduction. The problem of reducing thermal energy consumption and increasing the energy efficiency of heating systems in the residential sector in order to increase their life cycle is considered. The development of new heating device designs is an urgent priority. The aim of this study is to conduct a computational experiment to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of simulated tubular radiators of various types, including designs featuring enhanced coolant turbulence.
Materials and methods. An analysis of relevant scientific literature devoted to improving the efficiency of heating systems was carried out. The modelling of the coolant flow process was performed using the SOLIDWORKS software package.
Results. New designs of heating devices were developed that enable a reduction in heat energy consumption and an increase in the overall energy efficiency of heating systems. The influence of structural elements on coolant flow was investigated. It was found that maximum turbulence values and heat exchange efficiency are achieved by using spiral inserts in radiators.
Conclusions. Practical experiments have confirmed an increase in the efficiency of heating devices with spiral inserts by approximately 3 %, which leads to a reduction in energy consumption and operating costs. Improved equipment characteristics reduce the load on utility networks, extending their service life and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
