Practical lack of information on alternative heat and hydroinsulation methods and materials results, in our opinion, in mistakes even on the federal level. This list may be made longer, but even these four items show that alternative technologies may be more beneficial. There is practically no information available as far as diagnostic equipment is concerned. It is hard to understand why acoustic emission method, of all prevention control methods, is applied on a large scale, for it is costly and unreliable. In some cities they try to apply Infrared diagnostics, which is costly and practically in vain.
Heat pipes repair basically involves replacement of deteriorated parts.
In summer, between heating periods, Russian cities resemble gigantic archeological excavations. Parts with small holes are either welded or steel bandaged. Again, there is practically no information available on modern repairing techniques based on polymer chemistry. Questions about the content on this page should go to Rachel Halpern.
