Abstract

In this paper the method of reducing production and technological losses of natural gas in engineering systems of gas supply is considered. The reduction of the production and technological losses occurs at the gas distribution station when the natural gas heater is replaced by the vortex pipe. The heating of natural gas at the gas distribution stations is carried out to eliminate the icing of the gas pressure regulators during the throttling process. The main factors that influence the heating degree of gas in the vortex tube are determined. A study was conducted to determine the optimal dimensions of the vortex tube. It has been established that the presence of a vortex tube at gas distribution stations with a throughput of up to 2500 m³/hour can reduce the production and technological losses of natural gas in engineering systems of gas supply.
