The paper considers filtration equipment used for coolant purification in WWER-1000 reactors, which plays an important role in providing an optimal water-chemical regime, reducing radioactive contamination of equipment and extending the service life of reactor components. The operating features of ion-exchange filters are investigated and directions for their modernization are determined.
The analysis of existing systems of solar air heating has been carried out. The physical model of the solar air collector (SAC) with additionally installed flow turbulators, which are located in the air channel of the solar collector, is presented to improve its thermal characteristics and efficient use in temperate climates. The energy balances for the five key elements of the SAC have been presented and the balance equations system has been written. To determine the geometrical and heat engineering parameters of the flow turbulators, a number of graphical dependencies have been recorded.
