Based on calculations of energy consumption by air gas cooling devices, an analysis has been made of the efficiency of the methods of control of temperature conditions of the transported gas. Two types of air cooling devices (two-fan 2AVG-75S and multi-fan AVG-85MG) and two control methods (discrete with a part of the fans turned off and partial with use of speed-controllable drives) have been investigated as comparable versions.
