Optimal Studies on the Pressure Loss Characteristics of the Square Compensator in the Heating Pipe Network

This paper has developed the numerical simulation and optimal analysis on the impacts provided by the square compensator´s structure on the pressure loss characteristics in the heating pipe network by using the FLUENT software, and from which we fortunately found that the optimal structure of the square compensator at different flow velocities herein offers a strong reference for the optimal design of the pipeline system. The proposed approach on both retrofits and reinforcements of the compensator´s structures indicate that different structure-based compensators appear to be a wide range of field flow velocity. Most notably, with explicit consideration of the precondition of economic operation flow speeds at different structural compensators enables the e-shape compensator in multiple paradigms. While the more aggressive pursuit of a broader range of technologies, such as the supplementation - compensators given in this case, could lead to a satisfactory efficiency of the pipeline network.
