The potential for improving the energy efficiency of diesel generation really exists and can be estimated in real money. Reducing the fuel component is one of the priorities. This article discusses the problems and possible options for the modernization and reconstruction of diesel generation, including the positive experience of JSC «Sakhaenergo» of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The article presents the issue of clogging the fuel filter with ice crystals and f way to combat this phenomenon.

The article identified the main directions for improving the efficiency of boiler plants in the agro-industrial complex. An assessment was made of the significance of various heat losses from their total value and it was concluded that heat losses with exhaust gases in most cases occupy the main place among the heat losses of the boiler. A calculation of fuel economy was carried out when using a plate heat exchanger at various outdoor temperatures.

The article discusses ways to use the digital speckle photography method to assess the degree of bio-damage to aviation fuel. One of the criteria that can be used as the main parameters of speckle photographs is presented, according to which it is possible to quantify the degree of bio-damage to aviation fuel. The results of an experimental study of the developed method for determining the bio-contamination of an aviation fuel sample with the fungus Hormoconis resinae are obtained.
