This master thesis aims to design the heating system and HDW preparation in an apartment building. The first variant deals with condensation gas boiler as the only energy source, while the second variant combines the gas boilers with the solar thermal system. The apartment building is located in Prag and has three above-ground floors and a basement. In the basement is the technical room. Convectors are being used for heat distribution. The theoretical part deals with the introduction to the solar thermal system.

The aim of this thesis is to design the heating system for the house, including the design and calculating the required quantity of heat for hot water. The specified heat sources are the heat pump air to water and solid fuel boiler. The task was to design the heating system to the fastest possible return on investment. The initial investment in a heat pump is high so it is necessary to design the heating system as efficiently as possible. The thesis contains a complete project of calculating heat loss of the building, the design of heating surfaces and their heat-technical calculation. There is included the design of the pipe system, the calculation of pressure loss and its regulation. The thesis also includes design of safety equipment, temperature regulation and drawings. On the basis of calculated data was processed economic assessment, which determines the return on investment to the heat pump. Compared to the gas condensing boiler the return on investment will ideally be after five years.

This diploma thesis describes the detailed design of heating and hot water heating for a family quest-house. At first the reader is introduced to the designed building, its design and construction elements. The thesis presents the calculation procedure and design of the heating system. This consists of designing radiators, the heat source, the circulating pumps, regulations of the heating system and the design of its security elements. The thesis also describes the design of the heat exchanger for hot water and security. In conclusion, an evaluation of operating costs with the recommended solution for their reduction. The thesis also includes drawing documentation of structural drawings, heating and unrolled schema that is mentioned in the attachment.

The master’s thesis deals with the solid-fuel fired furnaces, complying with the new emission legislation, and their application in central heating. The introductory part of the thesis focuses on the theory of solid fuels combustion, pertinent legislation, and various designs of solid-fuel fired furnaces. The main part of the thesis deals with the design of a central heating system for a townhouse with a solid-fuel fired furnace as the primary heat source for central heating. A roof-mounted PV system was considered for solar-assisted domestic hot water heating. The energy performance of the house was evaluated with the use of the degree-day method and also with a detailed computer simulation in TRNSYS. As an appendix, the thesis includes the detailed engineering calculations and the engineering drawings and diagrams of the central heating system.

The master’s thesis contains a complete design scheme of the heating system for a family house after additional thermal insulation of some structures. In the first part, we will learn about the house and the climatic conditions. In the next section there is the calculation of the overall heat transfer coefficients for building structures and also of the heat losses of the building before and after additional insulation. In the next section there is a selection of the temperature gradient, radiators, heat proposal for an option with a single source as well as for an option with two sources. The pressure losses through each element were calculated and hydraulic balancing using the thermo-regulation valves was performed. In the conclusion the safety components were checked and the total costs of both the implementation and the drawing documentation were assessed.
