Research on heating scope of combined heating and power plants

Extending the heating scope of a CHP plant can increase the heating area and heating capacity, reduce enterprise-owned thermoelectric power plants and simplify the layout, make the power plant to site far from urban district, and release environmental protection pressure. Discusses three factors that affecting heating scope of CHP plants, that is the layout of heat sources, thermal media transportation, temperature drop and pressure drop of thermal media. Gives some suggestions on determining heating scope of CHP plants.
