Abstract

Pork production in the conditions of the Far North is expensive. Heating of production facilities is a significant cost item, as the heating period is quite long. The expansion of the production capacity of Farm Enterprise “Sibir” required a review and optimization of the costs of heating the production facilities. To achieve this, measures to optimize heating costs were analyzed and it was decided to apply the heat recovery system. Technical and economic indicators were calculated to justify the decision. Based on the results obtained, the heat recovery system with two heat generators and four recuperative units working in a series shunt network was chosen. The annual economic benefit in the amount of 477.1 thousand rubles with the possibility of saving up to 89.2% of energy resources was shown by the obtained theoretical and practical data on the implementation of the system. The payback period is 2.5 years.
