Abstract
The subject of this thesis is the examination of district heating (DH) systems in Finland and Russia.
The main aim is to study Finnish experience in this field and to consider the possibility of applying Finnish systems in Russian conditions.
The thesis presents the state of DH market in northern countries, shows the benefits of using DH systems,
and describes various schemes of connecting DH network to buildings, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The present situation in the sphere of DH in Finland and in Russia is also considered. Having considered the current situation with DH systems in Russia and the successes
achieved in the field of heat supply in Finland, one may draw a conclusion that Russian DH networks need urgent renovation, taking into account and using Finnish experience of operating DH systems.
Such DH system renovation for the existing buildings in current economic conditions is very complex and can’t be solved in one stage and in a short period of time. However, there are some tasks which can and have to be done now.
Building norms and regulations should be revised taking into
consideration Finnish experience in operating two-pipe DH networks with independent connection to the buildings.
Thus, for renovation of Russian DH systems new norms of designing and maintaining should be worked out. It is also necessary to establish more strict and modern norms of energy efficiency taking into account wide Finnish experience in this field.
