Development and research of existing possibilities of using an expander-generator unit for a gas distribution station using a heat pump unit as a gas heating system

The development of resource-saving technologies for existing energy sources is one of the priorities of the Russian Energy Strategy, which provides for reducing losses and reducing costs at all stages of the technological process during the extraction, treatment and transportation of natural gas. To date, it is very promising to utilize the energy of excess pressure of natural gas at gas distribution stations (GDS) with the help of expander units. The solution to the problem of the lack of gas heating in the expander-generator unit (DGA) can be a heated installation scheme through the use of a gas heating system of a heat pump station.
