In the article, the possibility of determining the consumption of electrical energy by gas air cooling devices. Special attention is paid to the processing of experimental results. There are some assumptions in the mathematical model that do not affect the final result. The factors influencing the consumption of electric energy by gas air coolers are given. It is stated that the ambient temperature and gas pressure significantly affect the consumption of electrical energy. Thus, based on experimental data, a model of electrical energy consumption by gas air cooling devices of main compressor stations has been obtained.
The article presents the possibility of increasing the service life of pumping units. Particular attention is paid to the regulation of the speed of rotation of the pumping unit. There are some assumptions in the mathematical model that do not affect the final result. The factors influencing the operating mode are given. It is indicated that the speed of rotation of the pump shaft significantly affects the wear resistance of the pump blades. Thus, the regulation of the pump rotation speed will rationally increase its service life.
In this work, a novel water tumbler with a super-hydrophobic+Janus+super-hydrophilic (SHB+Janus+SHL) structure is designed, which can achieve high floatation and a low gravity center.

The paper considers the possibility of reducing electric power consumption by aircooled gas apparatus of a gas compressor station. The authors propose a system with breakdown of ventilators into IV groups with five ventilators in each group. Comparison of operation modes of a traditional cooling system and a grouped one with fans speed regulation on the basis of a frequency converter showed that the grouped handling system saved up to 40% of electric power.

The article presents the possibility of a widespread introduction of heating systems using a heat pump, as well as a solar plant. Particular attention is paid to the useful properties of the combined heating. There are some assumptions in the mathematical model that do not affect the final result. The factors influencing the operating mode of the combined heating and hot water supply system are presented. It is indicated that the temperature of the condenser and the temperature difference have a significant effect on the combined heating system "heat pump-solar plant". Thus, the joint operation of a heat pump and a solar plant will make it possible to rationally build a heating system.
Variable-speed induction motor drives spend most of their service life at partial load, where rated-flux field-oriented control (FOC) is inefficient and where loss-minimizing control (LMC) recovers a large part of the loss. LMC, however, is brittle in two ways that matter in industry: it is tuned isothermally, so as the windings heat, the rotor-resistance drift detunes the field orientation and corrupts torque; and it treats the loss-optimal flux as a quasi-static set-point, so an abrupt load rise from a light-load, low-flux condition forces a slow flux rebuild that throttles torque. This paper proposes a thermally adaptive economic model predictive controller (TA-EMPC) that retains the energy optimum of LMC while removing both weaknesses. A temperature-coupled total-loss model (machine copper and core loss plus inverter conduction and switching loss) is minimized over a finite horizon subject to a torque-delivery constraint; a reduced-order two-node thermal observer updates the loss-defining resistances online without a temperature sensor; and a load-demand-aware flux-reservation term pre-magnetizes the machine ahead of anticipated torque rises. In simulations on a representative 7.5 kW drive, TA-EMPC matched the energy of static LMC to within 0.3% across pump, conveyor, and fast-cycling duty profiles—both saving 1.4–2.3% of cycle energy relative to rated-flux FOC, and up to about 14.7 efficiency points at very light load—while, unlike LMC, holding the steady torque error below 0.5% when the winding temperature rose by about 95 °C, to a hot steady state near 115 °C (a stator-resistance increase of roughly 37%) (against an 8% error for the non-adaptive scheme) and reducing the torque undershoot during a light-to-heavy load step from about 23% to near zero. All quantitative results reported in this work are obtained entirely in simulation. A per-step operation-count analysis—not an on-target timing measurement—indicates that the condensed quadratic-program formulation with move blocking is executable within the 100 µs sampling interval on a production digital signal controller for the chosen control horizon; experimental validation on a loaded dynamometer bench, together with on-target timing measurement, is identified as future work. The contribution is thus energy-efficient operation delivered with the torque robustness that loss minimization alone does not provide.
