Chapter 374

The operation of heating hub has undoubtedly injected new hope and vitality into Linshi.

Although there is only one heating hub in operation, the other is still drilling wells, and the heating hub in operation has not played a very brilliant performance, standing next to the snow pit and looking at the melting snow, no matter who it is, there is a feeling that hope is gradually rising.

However, Chen Xin did not allow many people to get close to the heating hub, and even standing next to the snow pit was forbidden, because as the temperature rose and the snow gradually melted, the pit wall of the snow pit was also collapsing on a small scale. Although the impact was small, it was still dangerous.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is very easy to deal with, as long as the prohibition of access to the snow pit.

At present, the heating hub has entered a smooth operation, in addition to the need for continuous drainage, there is no need for additional maintenance.

The whole heating hub is driven by electricity. Although there is a plan to use heat energy for power generation in the future, considering that there is no generator connected to the heating hub and there is no surplus heat energy for power generation at present, when Chen Xin designed the heating hub, he still used isotope thermoelectric battery for power supply.

It has to be said that the isotope thermoelectric battery is quite easy to use. Chen Xin only needs to install the battery into the heating hub, and one battery is enough to keep the whole heating hub running smoothly for ten years.

In this process, workers only need regular maintenance and overhaul of the heating hub, and then they can complete all the maintenance work.

Because when Chen Xin designed the whole heating hub, he took stability and reliability as the main design standard, and the heating hub he built was also quite reliable.

Of course, limited by materials, the whole heating hub still needs regular maintenance to avoid damage due to accidents.

Because the snow around the heating hub is constantly melting, Chen Xin, together with the workers and the geological exploration team, has evacuated their original camp and rebuilt the camp in a new location.

However, this camp is still a temporary camp. After the expansion of the heating field is completed and the snow within a radius of 200 meters is melted, Chen Xin will move to the heating field of the heating hub with his workers and geological exploration team.

On the one hand, of course, it is to enjoy the warm welfare brought by the heating hub, on the other hand, it is also to be able to maintain the heating hub nearby.

After all, it's the first time that this thing has been put into use. No one knows whether it will break down or not.

The construction of the new camp is not too troublesome. With Chen Xin's power armor and mechanical arm, one person can stand up to everyone else in this kind of thing.

They found a building that was not completely covered by snow, but also complete. They dug a row of snow pits against the wall of the building, put up tents under the snow again, and built a new camp.

The new camp is far away from the railway station and the heating hub than the old camp. However, it is more stable when it is backed by the external wall of the building, and it can also play a windproof role for the buildings completely buried in snow.

However, because this is only a temporary camp, as long as we can live in it, we didn't manage it very carefully.

However, Chen Xin spent a lot of time on the place where he used to install the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace. Every time the electromagnetic metallurgical furnace was running, it would release a lot of heat. Chen Xin had no choice but to choose a firm place to install it, so as to avoid the occurrence of accidents such as snow melting by heat and machine tilting.

The reason why we attach so much importance to the electromagnetic furnace is that Chen Xin still needs to provide spare parts for the next several planned heating hubs, especially for the seventh middle school where Cao Daren is digging a well, but the backwater well has long been scheduled to build a second heating hub.

Therefore, Chen Xin must seize the time to complete the relevant parts of the second heating hub, so as not to delay the construction period.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Xin chose the building as the new camp site. Clearing a piece of space on the roof of the building is enough to install the electromagnetic furnace.

After all, Chen Xin's furnace itself is not heavy. As long as it is placed on the cement floor, it can stand steadily. Obviously, the cement floor is not as easy to melt as the snow floor, which is enough to ensure the smooth operation of the electromagnetic metallurgy furnace.

Thanks to the scientific research department, Chen Xin did not need to go out to collect waste metals for the second heating hub. The materials transported together with the geological exploration team can fully meet Chen Xin's needs.

Compared with the waste metal collected by Chen Xin before, the performance of these materials is undoubtedly much better. According to Chen Xin's requirements, different materials can be used for different parts according to the difference of material performance, which can improve the performance of the heating hub itself.

For the simplest example, the heat sink of the first heat supply hub is made of waste copper recycled by Chen Xin. Although the heat dissipation performance of copper is better than that of iron, Chen Xin's electromagnetic furnace can also purify and process the materials in the smelting process, the heat sink made of waste copper is obviously inferior to that made of new materials by Chen Xin in quality The board is broken.After all, one is only the product of secondary smelting after the recovery of copper scrap, while the other is the copper alloy specially made to improve the heat dissipation performance. Although the former can also meet the design requirements of the heating hub, it is obvious that the latter has higher heat dissipation efficiency and material properties.

It is obvious that the scientific research departments that transport materials to Chen Xin get good things, and with these materials, even if Chen Xin does nothing but makes the materials into parts, it is enough to improve the work efficiency and output power of the heating hub by 10%.

If we upgrade the system and optimize the design, even without actual data support, Chen Xin thinks that we can increase the work efficiency and output power by another 20%, and even increase the radius of the heating field of the heating hub to 250 meters or even 300 meters.

According to another calculation model designed by Chen Xin before, when the heat sink of the heating hub is folded up and the heating field is not opened, the heat energy output of the heating hub is used for power generation, which is enough to reach 1MW · h of power generation.

As long as there are several such heating hubs to form a heating network, it is enough to meet the power demand of a city.

Even in today's environment, these heating hubs need to consume a considerable part of the heat energy for heating, and the remaining power generation is enough to meet the use needs.
