Justification of peat block-making module parameters and mass/power characteristics for peat production machinery

The article describes the algorithm of estimation of a modular peat production equipment system (MPPES) and selection of engineering data for its functional modules designed for peat milling and treatment in the preset operating conditions. The whys and wherefores of development and introduction of such equipment systems to implement climate-saving technologies of the present day are exposed. The experimental data on peat block-making are presented. The groups of the peat block-making modules are examined, and their capacities in the form of mass/power relationships are revealed. All functional relations are compiled in a joint nomogram. The functional relations are presented by formulas per each equipment group. The peat production equipment estimation algorithm is implemented as an application program described in terms of the peat milling–block-making equipment system in operation on a wet peatland at the relevant peat loss and dehydration. The estimates obtained using the program are presented in a graphical form. The accomplished analysis reveals the trends of decreasing mass/power characteristics per 1 t of peat product as function of the number of the equipment modules and actual operations in terms of a peat milling and block-making equipment system having conventional capacity of 50 000 t.
