Optimal planning and processing of the results of tests for hydraulic and heat losses in heat systems

The approaches and algorithms proposed in the present study form the basis of a novel technology for identifying heat systems. This technology consists in actively influencing the conditions that determine the accuracy of estimation of the actual parameters of real systems whose knowledge renders it possible to solve efficiently the problems of modernization, checkout, and centralized control. The method presupposes a sequential planning strategy: each experiment is conducted with due consideration of the data obtained after the results of the preceding one are processed. The procedure of planning the test environment, positioning the measuring equipment, conducting the experiment, and processing and analyzing its results is repeated at each step in the proposed method.
