The Optimization of Parameters of a Technological Tank Battery for Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Abstract:

Fuel-power supply systems are priority areas of engineering services. They account for large capital investments and costs of energy resources. An energy supply system based on LPG provides a high level of diversification and autonomy. This article presents recommendations for determining the basic technological parameters of liquefied petroleum gas tanks. The recommendation are intended to improve the efficiency of the tanks. The economic-mathematical model of optimizing underground tanks considers own evaporative capacity of tanks, their mutual thermal effect, as well as the temporal dynamics and unstable cost factors. The model allows for revealing the optimum technological parameters of installations: a single tank volume, the number of tanks in a group installation, the calculated level of gas tanks fill up before next refueling, depending on the volume of gas consumption.
