Kramatorsk heat station
Frequently on heat stations the heat control is carried out using old well-known orifice method. Is it really good today?
Let's give an example of real money saving on Kramatorsk heat station due to replacement of orifices with ultrasonic meters SVТU-10М of accuracy class 1.
Expenses | With orifice, ukr. hrivnas | With SVTU-10М1, ukr. hrivnas | Comments |
Equipment | 30000 | 50000 | The cost of orifice flow measuring set includes the cost of chamber, orifice, sensor of variable pressure drop, pulse tubes with valves, two temperature sensors, project and calculations of flow measuring section, its certification in State Standard Committee |
Installation and commissioning | 20000 | 20000 |
|
Annual service | 12000 | - |
|
Recording | 1000 | - | For 2 recorders |
Periodic calibration | 700 | 100 | Periodic calibration for SVTU-10М1 - 1 time in 4 years without dismantling. |
State verification | 10000 | 100 | Expenses on installation and dismantling |
Total expenses on installation and equipment cost | 50000 | 70000 | The difference in expenses is 20000 ukr. hrivnas |
Total expenses on annual operation | 23700 | 200 | SVTU-10М undergoes state verification 1 time in 4 years |
Mentioned in the table cost of the complete set of SVTU really exceeds cost of the complete set of orifices, but total expenses for maintenance service and periodic calibration are considerably below. The difference makes 23500 ukr. hrivnas during the year. It means that initially it has been spent 20000 ukr. hrivnas more, but every year cost-savings are 23500 ukr. hrivnas for operation.
Hence, expenses will pay back less than in 1 year. As a result of application of new technical equipment is 14 % saving of the energy-carrier. Expenses for installation of new devices had been paid back for one month! By the way the expenses for repair of registering devices (recorders) are not considered.
