Household heating systems

Main goals of this bachelor thesis are economic evaluation of four chosen technologies of heating, and heating system design. Introduction deals with problem of heating in a family house, types of heating systems and main influences affecting the choice of heating system. The third chapter discusses main components of heating systems. Each component of the system is characterized and described. The most important parts include heating source, which are divided by type of fuel. The fourth chapter describes other possibilities of austerity meassures, which reduce heat loss and heating costs. There is a mention about government subsidies. The fifth chapter shows the shares of different heating sources, that are used in residential houses. In the last chapter, the computation of heat loss in the particular object is done. Based on the heat loss computation floor and radiator heating system is proposed. Four heat sources are chosen for the object (gas boiler, heat pump, biomass boiler and electric boiler with acumulation tank) and the purchase and the operating costs are computed. Conclusion of the chapter is devoted to the economic balance of the four heat sources and their comparison in the return of investment
