ON OPTIMAL HEAT TRANSFER AGENT TEMPERATURE IN HEAT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

The article considers the problem of choice of the optimal heat transfer agent temperature
by the criterion of minimum power costs associated with pumping and reduction of heat
losses while transported by heat pipelines. The problem is solved by means of analytical method.
The author obtains a formula that allows determining the optimal heat transfer agent
temperature. The paper gives the results of optimal heat transfer agent temperature calculation
for specific conditions.
