This diploma thesis focuses on the design of heating and hot water reservoir in an apartment complex. For three variants of heat sources (gas condensing boiler, heat pump and electric boiler) is evaluated their economic profitability for heating and hot water heating. For the best selected heat sources is drawn up the technical solution of heating in the apartment complex.

This diploma thesis proposes the heating system and ventilation in mixed-use building. The building is located in Uherské Hradiště. The object of this work is the selection of appropriate variants of two heat sources (gas boilers and solid fuel boiler). The project is focus on design of the heating system chosen mode of heating, which are gas boilers and the concept of forced ventilation. The theoretical part is focused on the regulation.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to find a solution of heating system, a hot water preparation and a subsequent design of the heat source for the apartment building. The project consists of a calculation of heat losses, a design of radiators, a dimensioning of pipes and a design of two options of the heat source for heating and hot water preparation. The first option of the heat source I chose a pellet boiler and the second option is an electric boiler with solar collectors for the preparation of hot water. The introductory part deals with analysis of this object and emission limits of heat source using different fuels.

The thesis deals with the design of a grate steam boiler which has natural circulation and is determined for combustion of wood chips. The boiler has a capacity of 45 t/h and produces superheated steam with the output parameters of 3,5 MPa and 450 °C at the 125 °C feed water temperature. Stoichiometric calculations and the flue gases enthalpy calculations are based on the composition of the specified fuel. The efficiency and fuel consumption of the boiler is also determined. The thesis mainly focuses on the thermal calculation and geometric design of the individual heat transfer surfaces of the boiler. The drawing documentation of the steam boiler is available in the attachment of the thesis.

This master’s thesis elaborates a design of water heating and heating system for a building of a rehabilitation center in Horný Hričov. The theoretical section describes operational efficiency of gas boilers and associated calculation methods. The experimental section covers measurements of condensing gas boiler at various temperatures of heating water conducted in university laboratory. Operational efficiency was then calculated using indirect method based on the measurement results. Subsequently, calculated values and values measured by an operational efficiency analyzer were compared. The comparison revealed minor deviations in operational efficiency values and different values of condensing heat utilization between the calculations and the analyzer results. The analytical section of the thesis consists of complex designs of two versions of the heating system and the water heating. The first design version uses condensing gas boilers as a heat source while the second version uses a water-air heat pump instead. The project section of the thesis is executed in the scope for a building permit and consists of a technical report and a design documentation.

The subject of the diploma thesis is accumulation tanks in heating systems. The first part introduces the topic of thermal energy storage and types of accumulation tanks. The second part describes two specific options of heating the building of the boarding house and the restaurant with the use of storage tanks in the heating system. A gas condensing boiler is designed as a heat source in one variant and a pellet boiler in the other variant. The third part deals with experimental measurements, in which the accumulation tank with the installation for better stratification of hot water and the accumulation tank without the installation are compared.
