Design of a water heating tank based on utilization of the waste heat energy of refrigerants

In the contribution is submitted proposal of the vessel construction for water for industrial use. For heating is being used the secondary heat from the cooling system. More frequent utilization of this energy is limited of present by two facts: 1. The cooling devices contain toxic charge and therefore the pipeline for cooling medium passing through must not be in direct contact with the heated water for hygiene and safety reasons. 2. Sufficient thermal difference for effective heat sharing is possible only when the cool water is supplied to the place of heating.The suggested construction solves both these problems. The primary pipeline with ammonia is located on the container outer side into other heat-carrying protective medium. The inner arrangement provides the isothermal water stratification in container. In to the container is located the insert from non-conductive material with outer dimension smaller than the inner diameter of container. This enables formation of the slot filled by the heated water. Between the hot water in the slot and cold water inside the vessel creates the pressure difference, heated water rises into the upper part of the container and cold water is sucked into the slot from the bottom. Within the heating almost ...

The effect of sewage temperature on values of the selected sewage pollution indexes for the sequential batch reactor (SBR) treatment plant

The performed study aimed to determine the effect of sewage temperature in bioreactors on pollution discharges measured by the BOD5, COD and total ni-trogen indexes. The research was carried out in a municipal sequential batch re-actor (SBR) treatment plant. The discussed treatment plant is located in Książ Wielki commune in Miechów district in Lesser Poland voivodeship. Households from two villages: Książ Wielki and Wielka Wieś discharge their sewage into the analysed treatment plant. An average of 100 to 110 m3•d-1 of sewage constituting nearly 50% of the designed hydraulic load of this object was discharged into the treatment plant during the study period. Temperature measurements and sewage sampling for physicochemical analyses were performed for 24 months in 2007 and 2008. Twenty four sewage samples were collected with a frequency of once per month. The lowest sewage temperature in the bioreactor during the study period was 7.1°C, whereas the highest temperature reached 18.8°C.

Simulation of hydrothermal conditions for crop production purpose until 2050-2060 and selected climate change scenarios for north central Poland

This paper attempts to evaluate expected climate changes for the purpose of irrigating plants using the hydrothermal index of Sieljaninov (HTC). Air temperature and total precipitation were simulated for conditions current and expected for a chosen meteorological station in Central Poland, according to the GISS Scenario, HadCM3 and GFDL (which is typical for Poland assuming the CO2 concentration doubles, as is expected for the years 2050-2060). Four 500-year daily temperature and rainfall series were used for computing the hydrothermal index of Sieljaninov, with a 30-day window for irrigating periods, from April to September. The simulated hydrothermal index was presented on a graph during the vegetation period as a course of means, with critical area, standard deviations and probabilities of medium dry, dry, very dry and extremely dry periods.The presented results show changes of average hydrothermal index (up to a 30 per cent drop) in considered periods and scenarios, as well as a 15 per cent variance increase (except GISS scenario). During the four critical months of the year, the estimated probability of extremely dry periods occurring (HTC<0.4) shows two, three and four times the risk of drought for the GISS Model E, HadCM3 and GFDL-R15 scenarios respectively. ...

Precipitation requirements of cultivated plants in the aspect of contemporary climate change

An important effect of temperature increase due to global warming is the possibility of decreasing agricultural efficiency of atmospheric precipitation as well as the change in the fundamental components of water balance due to increase in evaporation, which is accompanied by the absence of clear precipitation trends in the temperate European zones. The subject of this article is to determine the values of atmospheric precipitation, which during the drought phase should be supplemented with irrigation values so that it does not lower the moisture of the active soil layer in terms of the recent mean levels. We should also take into account different temperature scenarios (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0°C). The multiple-step regression model that has been calculated taking into account the level of soil moisture, air temperature and precipitation indicates that for a mean 10-day period (decade) during the growing season (April-October) the values obtained are 2.2, 3.6 and 5.2 mm, as well as 46, 76 and 109 mm in the entire growing season respectively. This particular model was devised for the city of Poznan and its vicinities, which is situated in north-western Poland. ...
