New rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy

In 2013, they were approved Rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy (1304 Decree of the Government of November 18). Federal executive structures from the moment of introduction of the normative act into effect were obliged to bring their legal documents in compliance with it within three months. The Ministry of Housing and Communal Services and Construction had to establish a methodology for conducting commercial accounting within two weeks. In 3 years after the adoption of the above-mentioned normative act, some additions were made to it. Let's consider further New Rules for Commercial Accounting for Thermal Power 2016 in

General Provisions

New rules for commercial accounting of thermal energy, coolant determine:

1. Requirements for instruments.
2. Characteristics to be measured. Indicators are used to provide quality control of service.
3. Procedure for determining the volume of supplies.
4. Features of distribution of losses of heat energy, coolant in the absence of accounting devices at the boundaries of adjacent heating systems.

Objectives

New rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy are aimed at ensuring:

1. Calculations between service enterprises and consumers.
2. Control of modes of operation of feeding systems and consuming installations.
3. Supervision of the rational use of raw materials.
4. Documentation of equipment indicators (pressure, volume, mass, temperature).

Features of the methodology

Rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy 2016 in prescribe the use of special devices. They are installed in the points located on the boundaries of the balance sheet. Another site may be provided for in the contract for the supply, supply or transfer of heat energy (heat carrier). Servicing enterprises can not require consumers to install other devices or additional devices not provided for in the regulatory enactment.

Rules for the organization of commercial heat metering

To achieve the goals indicated above, the following are implemented:

1. Obtaining technical conditions.
2. Designing and installation of registration devices.
3. Putting the unit into operation.
4. Use of instruments. The operation, among other things, includes regular readings from the devices.
5. Verification, repair, replacement of devices.

Explanations

Rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy prescribe to equip nodes in places,as close as possible to the boundaries of the balance sheet. At the same time, real opportunities at the site must be taken into account. Provision of technical conditions for the installation of devices, their commissioning, sealing, as well as participation in the commission for the acceptance of nodes are made without charging users fees. On the sources, the devices are installed on each output of the network.

Device readings

Rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy fix the procedure for collecting information from devices. In this case, a list of mandatory indications is established. They include:

1. The amount of transported, received, delivered heat energy in the composition of hot water.
2. Number and duration of violations in the functioning of devices.
3. Other data provided by technical documents and displayed by devices.

Rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy prescribe the collection of such information to consumers or service enterprises, unless otherwise stipulated by an agreement between them.

Timing

Rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy oblige consumers or service companiesto provide water drainage / water supply companies with the first reading of the indications from the devices no later than the 2nd day of the month that follows the calculated one. Other terms may be established by law. Information about the current testimony is provided within two days (working) from the date of acceptance of the relevant request. The direction of information is carried out by any available method, including by e-mail, which allows to confirm its receipt.

Act of reconciliation

It is issued in the course of the inspection upon detectiondiscrepancies between actual indications and data provided by the consumer or the servicing enterprise. The reconciliation act must be signed by the representative of the supply company or the end user. In the event of their disagreement with the content of the document, it is marked "Acquainted" and certified by painting. Objections of a network enterprise or consumer may be indicated in the act or sent by a separate letter to the supplying organization. In the event of refusal to sign the document, there must be a corresponding note in it. The reconciliation act acts as the basis for the recalculation of the volume of supplies of the coolant, heat energy from the date of signing.

Parallel devices

They can be used by a network company orconsumer to ensure control of the amount of heat supplied. In this case, the second party must be notified of the installation of such devices. The devices are located on sites that allow for commercial accounting. If the differences in the readings of parallel and main instruments are detected more than the permissible measurement error for a period equal to not less than one accounting month, the persons who installed the monitoring equipment may require the second party to perform an extraordinary verification.

Settlement procedure

Commercial accounting in this way is allowed when:

1. Absence in control points of main instruments.
2. Violation of the contractual deadlines for submitting information from devices owned by consumers.
3. Faults in the main unit.

The settlement method is also used in case of unconditional delivery of heat energy, heat carrier.

Determination of consumption

The amount of heat energy, coolant, whichwere supplied by the source, expressed in the sum of the indicators for each pipeline (make-up, return and supply). The volume is determined by the supplying enterprise in accordance with the indications of the devices for the billing period. In some cases, to determine the delivery quantity, it is necessary to measure the temperature of the cold water at the source. In such situations, the introduction of an appropriate indicator into the calculator is allowed as a constant. At the same time, recalculation of the volume of consumption should be periodically carried out taking into account the actual temperature. Allowed the introduction of the zero indicator t during the year.

Actual temperature

For a heat carrier it is determined by a singlesupplying the company in accordance with the data on the average monthly values ​​of the heat source. The relevant information is provided by their owners. Within the supply limits, the actual monthly averages are the same for all users. The frequency of recounting is established by the contract. For hot water, the actual temperature is determined by the enterprise operating the central thermal area. For this, cold water values ​​are measured immediately before the heaters. The frequency of recalculation is also established by the contract.

Methodology

It allows you to:

1. The organization of the commercial account in networks, on a source and a coolant.
2. Determination of the volume of consumption. It includes the amount of heat energy, coolant, tempered, received, as well as consumed in the absence of accounting for instruments.
3. Determination of volume for non-contractual consumption.
4. Distribution of heat losses.

During the operation of devices during incompleteperiod, a flow adjustment is necessary. In the absence of control devices in the accounting points or when they function for more than 15 days. Determination of the amount of heat energy used for heating and ventilation is made by calculation, based on the recalculation of the basic indicator of the change in t of the outside air.
