Frequently asked

Glossary

1

CHP (combined heat and power)

A plant that produces electricity and usable heat from the same fuel input, typically a gas turbine or reciprocating engine with a heat-recovery boiler feeding a district heating network. At a Moscow energy exhibition, CHP packages are usually quoted by electrical and thermal output plus connection pressure and temperature.

2

Boiler house (boiler plant)

The building and equipment set that generates hot water or steam: boiler, burner, feedwater and circulation pumps, water treatment, controls and flue-gas path. Retrofitting an existing boiler house is a recurring buyer project in Russian municipal heat supply.

3

Industrial burner

The combustion device mounted on a boiler or furnace that meters fuel and air and shapes the flame. Selection depends on fuel (natural gas, LPG, oil), turndown ratio, emissions limits and the boiler's combustion-chamber geometry.

4

Heat exchanger

Equipment that transfers heat between two circuits without mixing them - shell-and-tube, plate, or air-cooled. Buyers specify duty in kW or MW, primary and secondary temperature regime, pressure rating and material, and often ask for Russian-compliant connection standards.

5

Gas pressure regulating station (GRPS/GDS)

A skid or station that reduces transmission-line gas pressure to a distribution or burner-level pressure, with regulators, safety shut-off valves, filters and metering. Sizing covers inlet and outlet pressure, flow in m3/h and the redundancy required by technical regulations.

6

Pipeline fittings (valves and regulators)

Shut-off, control, check and safety valves plus flanges, actuators and strainers. Procurement turns on nominal bore, pressure class, body material, actuation (manual, electric, pneumatic) and the certificates required for gas or heat service.

7

Switchgear (MV/HV)

Metal-clad or gas-insulated assemblies that switch and protect medium and high-voltage circuits - circuit breakers, busbars, instrument transformers and earthing. Substation upgrade projects compare breaker type, short-circuit rating and relay-protection interface.

8

Relay protection and automation

The protection relays and logic that detect faults and isolate the affected feeder or transformer. Modern schemes are numeric and networked, so buyers ask about IEC 61850 support, cybersecurity hardening and integration with existing substation control systems.

9

SCADA

Supervisory control and data acquisition - the software and telemetry layer that collects plant data and lets operators control remote equipment. For heat networks and substations, scope usually covers RTUs, communication protocol and integration with the operator's dispatch centre.

10

Variable frequency drive (VFD)

An electronic drive that varies motor speed to match pump, fan or compressor duty. In boiler houses and pumping stations a VFD is bought for energy saving and soft starting; buyers check power rating, harmonics, cabinet ingress protection and bypass options.

11

Energy and heat metering

Meters, flow sensors and data loggers that bill or account for energy and heat, and the calibration chain behind them. Russian commercial metering follows national metrology rules, so exhibitors are asked about verification intervals and type approval.

12

EAC conformity

Confirmation that equipment meets the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union and may carry the EAC mark. For energy equipment this usually means a declaration or certificate of conformity plus, for some categories, a compliance document tied to pressure or electrical safety.
