Gas distribution system for mixture of consumers - has storage capacity of gas ring set by computed demand w.r.t. varying conditions and by selection of pipe diameter.

摘要

The likely demand for gas for the consumer network is computed from a variety of factors including the weather forecast for the next time period- usually at least 24 hours. Other factors include outside temperatures, time of week, time of year etc. using stored data from previous periods. The data is stored in a programmable control and has a built-in reserve to supply up to 50 percent more than computed, ie. the storage capacity of the pipe system is 50 percent up on maximum demand. The data is collected over a time period and is used to correct the newly computed data. USE/ADVANTAGE - Gas distribution systems for domestic- and industrial users. No need for expensive storage units above- or below ground. D1
