COLD WATER SUPPLY

Determine the maximum demand of water:

A residential house has 1 water closet, 1 lavatory, 1 kitchen sink
and 1 bathtub.
Solution:
Solve for the total fixture units
6 units x 1 water closet -6units
1 unit x 1 lavatory -1unit
2 units x 1 kitchen sink -2 units
2 units x 1 bathtub -2 units
TOTAL: 11 UNITS
Maximum water demand is:
11 units x 8 = 88 gallons or 334 litres

Probability of simultaneous use of fixtures is 25 % to 50 %.

Assume 30 % reduction of 88 gallons =26 gallons.
Probable demand = 88 - 26 = 62 gallons or 235 litres

HOT WATER SUPPLY

 COST ESTIMATES
Average working load of hot water system for residential is 35 %.
Hot water consumption for residential is 10 gallons per person per hour.
Assume of 5 persons in a residential.

Determine the size of a residential boiler tank required to serve a family

of 5 persons.
Solution:
Solve for the total rated hot water consumption:
5 persons x 10 gallons = 50 gallons or 190 litres
Solve for the working load of 35 %
35 5 x 50 gal. =18 gallons
1 cu. m. = 264 US gallons
18 / 264 = 0.07 cu. m.
Find the dimension of the cylindrical tank. Assume a height of 1.5
meters.

Where:
H = heat (power supply in kW)
V = accumulator volume stored (Litre)
Cp = specific heat water (4. 19 kJ/kg℃)
q1 = temp. of the cold water in ℃
q2 = temp. of hot water in ℃
t = available time for the accumulated volume to be heated (sec.)
An accumulator with 334 litres is filled with cold water with temp. 5℃.
The electric power required to heat the water to 50℃ in 5 hours can be
