V.M. Chaplin in 1883 graduated from the Imperial Moscow Technical School , where in 1898 he received the post of professor. From 1898 to 1909 He also taught at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture . In 1895, together with a colleague at IMTU, architect V. G. Zalessky, Chaplin organized the trading house “V. Zalessky and V. Chaplin. " As partners, in 1902 Zalessky and Chaplin built their own house on Bolshaya Dmitrovka , 16, in which their families had their own floors and where the premises of their technical office were located ^[5] . Among the realized projects of the trading house “V. Zalessky and V. Chaplin ”- heating and ventilation systems of nearly 1,500 buildings ^[6] in dozens of cities of the Russian Empire: the Museum of Fine Arts named after Emperor Alexander III, the Rumyantsev Museum, the Polytechnic Museum, the Auditorium of Moscow University, the Imperial Moscow Technical School, and the Moscow School of Painting , sculptures and architecture, Alexander Military School, Brest (Belorussky) station , automobile plant A. M. O., Sandunov baths , Metropol hotel , Hermitage restaurant, Rossiya insurance company building, eye box flax them.

In 1903 V.M. Chaplin created the first water heating system in Russia with stimulating circulation. The water-to-water heating system proposed by V. M. Chaplin was the prototype of the currently widely used heating systems with superheated water from heating networks. In the same year, he organized the country's first department of heating and ventilation at the Mechanical Faculty of IMTU. Chairman of the Sanitary and Technical Department of the Polytechnic Society .

In 1903 he received the rank of state adviser , was awarded the orders of St. Stanislav III and II degrees, St. Anna of the II degree ^[7] ; in 1908-1914 he was the vowel of the Moscow Zemstvo Council for the 1st election meeting ^[8] .

In the 1920s, Chaplin developed a scheme for connecting local systems to heating networks, which ensured reliable operation and central regulation. This scheme is also applied under the name of “addicted with mixing”. Chaplin also contributed to the development and improvement of furnace business. Chaplin's firebox for firewood is a chamber with a small depth, where the grate is laid. This arrangement of the grate, provides a more uniform burning and separation of the flame from the smoke.

V. M. Chaplin for the first time formulated the basic scientific and practical provisions of industrial ventilation, its rational arrangement and use, which still have not lost their relevance ^[9] .

V. M. Chaplin was the author of the first textbook on heating and ventilation in Russia (1903); for 35 years he taught the main course in this discipline at IMTU ( MVTU ) and architectural institute, headed the department of heating and ventilation of the Heat Engineering Institute , and was chairman of the editorial board of the journal "Heating and Ventilation". In 1922, Chaplin initiated training of specialists in heating and ventilation not at the mechanical, but at the Civil Engineering Department of MVTU , which was later transformed into the Higher Civil Engineering School (VISU).

Vladimir Mikhailovich Chaplin brought up and taught at his own expense the children of poor employees, who later became outstanding people. This is N. S. Ermolaev, professor of heating and ventilation, and the renowned world famous architect K. S. Melnikov . Chaplin not only enabled Melnikov to prepare for admission to the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, but also insisted on the architectural specialization of his pet. Recalling his teacher, K. S. Melnikov, in a letter to the American art critic F. Starr, wrote: “It’s hard for an American to imagine that in Russia there were and are natures who can selflessly do Good” ^[10] .

V.M. Chaplin is buried at the New Don cemetery (5th columbarium, 3rd section).

The 150th anniversary of V. M. Chaplin was dedicated to the Third International Scientific and Technical Conference "Theoretical Foundations of Heat and Gas Supply and Ventilation", held in 2009 at Moscow State University of Civil Engineering ^[11] .
