PLAUDE, KARL KARLQVICH (Thermal Engineer) 



K. K. Plaude was born March 26, 1897. Upon graduating 

 from the Leningrad Institute of Civil Engineering in 1926, he 

 worked at the "Gidravlika" plant until 1936. From 1928-34, he 

 lectured at the Leningrad Institute of Civil Engineering, and 

 from 1932 to 1938, at the Leningrad Institute of Industrial Con- 

 struction Engineers. From 1937 to 1941, he worked at "Len- 

 gosproektstroi" and during 1942-44 was chief of the Con- 

 struction Directorate in Moscow. From 1941 to 1953, he was 

 lecturer at the University of Latvia, and in 1950 was Director 

 of the Latvian S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Institute of Ener- 

 getics and Electrotechnics. He is a holder of the title Honored 

 Scientist of the Latvian S.S.R., awarded in 1955. Since 1946 he 

 has been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. 

 He became Academician of the Latvian S.S.R. Academy of Sci- 

 ences in 1951. From 1958 to 1960 he was Vice-President, and 

 since 1960 has been President of the Latvian S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences. In 1960 he was elected Corresponding Member of 

 the U. S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He is a Deputy of the Su- 

 preme Soviet of the U. S.S.R. In March, 1962, he was elected to 

 the Council of Nationalities. 



Professor Plaude' s main work lies in the field of heat sup- 

 ply. He has studied heat exchange for heat plants using a high 

 temperature heat carrier. Plaude developed a two-step system 

 of heat supply, electricity systems, and automatic thermo- 

 regulators for local regulation of radiators. He has elaborated 

 principles of automation of heat supply. He is the author of 

 many scientific works in the field of the thermal engineering.
