Mobile heating method

The present invention discloses a mobile heating method, which aims to solve the problem of traditional steam supply methods, which are mostly transmitted through pipelines. However, when the distance between the heat source and the heat user is too long, the pipeline investment cost is high, the planning and approval is difficult, and the construction period is long, which will seriously restrict the development of the heating business. The invention includes the following steps: S1, leading out a branch pipe from the heat source steam pipeline and connecting a steam distribution pipe to the branch pipe, and installing a number of gas pipes on the steam distribution pipe; S2, driving a heating vehicle to the steam distribution pipe position, connecting the heating vehicle to the gas pipe, and charging steam into the heating vehicle through the gas pipe; S3, after the heating vehicle completes the steam charging, it drives to the user end position, connects the heating vehicle to the pipeline at the user end, and transports the steam in the heating vehicle to the pipeline at the user end, thereby realizing mobile heating. This mobile heating method can realize the long-distance distribution of heat energy without a pipeline network, saves the cost of laying the pipeline network, and shortens the construction period.
