Abstract
A method is proposed for linearizing the nonlinear model of a heat-transfer facility the state variables of which at equilibrium points are determined by numerically solving the initial bilinear system of differential equations for a stationary position of the control valve equipped with a constant-speed electric drive. The considerable transport time delay resulting from the distributed design of the heat-transfer system secondary circuit is approximated by a limited number of first-order inertial sections for obtaining a mathematical model in the Cauchy form. The proposed linearization method is tested on an operating hot-water supply heat-transfer system, and the study results are presented in the form of transient curves.
