Methods and Means of Heat Losses Monitoring for Heat Pipelines

The structural features of laying the pipelines of thermal networks (underground and aboveground) are considered. The technical characteristics of modern UAVs are investigated and the possibility of their application for monitoring of heat losses in the main heat pipelines is considered. The possibilities of thermal aerial photography for detecting different types of defects on pipelines in a functioning state are explored. The characteristics and capabilities of the proposed set of devices for monitoring thermal losses in pipelines based on quadrocopters are considered.
