Study of Methods and Skill Experience of Diagnostics of the Main Heating Network State Diagnostics Using a Robotized Diagnostic Complex

The heat supply sector is a key life-supporting link in the Russian Federation municipal infrastructure. Heat networks from anthropogenic and environmental points of view belong to the potentially dangerous objects category. Each case of heat supply disruption in the our winter conditions is an emergency, the consequences of which can be very serious. The main such accidents causes are defects in the heating networks pipelines operating in variable temperatures conditions, exposure to aggressive environments and electromagnetic disturbances. Timely and reliable progressive defects identification in the heating networks pipelines, as well as a qualitative analysis of of their occurrence causes and prediction of residual life are priority tasks in the heating networks operation.
