Determination of acceptable limits of adjustment of heat consumption loading

The article describes the numerical study of the temperature fields in the living quarters of an apartment building, which made it possible to evaluate the dynamics of the air temperature changes in unsteady conditions as a result of an increase or decrease in the capacity of heating appliances in relation to the standardized value. The permissible limit for adjusting the heat consumption for panel houses is determined, where the permissible period of power variation is not more than 6 hours. The range of power change in this case reaches 40%. The obtained results can find its practical application in intelligent heat supply systems to minimize consumption of fuel and energy resources.
