The efficiency and reliability of heat supply systems depend significantly on the performance of heat exchangers and the quality of thermal insulation in problematic sections of heat networks. This article examines the role of regenerative heat exchangers in improving energy efficiency and reducing heat losses within district heating systems. It also addresses methods for calculating optimal thermal insulation parameters for sections of heat networks prone to high heat loss or physical degradation. A detailed analysis of heat transfer mechanisms, insulation material selection, and cost-benefit considerations is provided. Practical recommendations are proposed to enhance the performance of both regenerative heat exchangers and thermal insulation in problematic areas. The findings contribute to the development of more sustainable and efficient heat supply infrastructures.
