In the books which are used in business 2) 3), although some fixture design methodsare introduced, four problems of the following are pointed out.

(1) The separate method is shown about the fixture design and standardization is notattained.

(2) The fixture design method of capacity is based on the maximum load, has littleflexibility of a design and tends to do an excessive design.

(3) Since it is not the design corresponding to a time series load change, generatingof the maximum load cannot be predicted, either and the excess and deficiencyof capacity cannot be judged.

(4) It cannot specify the level of capacity for load.On the other hand, peak flow demand of water supply can be measured with cheaply

and sufficient comparatively by progress of measurement technology. Furthermore, thecalculation using a vast quantity of data is becoming easy by the spread of computers.Therefore, it is thought a possibility that the design in use of load profile model of watersupply, hot water supply and drainage will be performed is high from now on.

Corresponding to the above-mentioned problem and change of a time, the fixturedesign method is proposed with the following three targets in this paper.

(1) Improvement of the fixture design method aiming at standardization(2) Utilization of computer simulation and showing the design method

corresponding to a time series load change(3) Clearing of design conditions and showing the standard of load profile model for

specific useThis paper shows the proposal about the method of design an elevated tank , a sump

pit and hot water supply equipment. Besides, this paper corrects a part to the contents ofreference 4) and reference 5).

2. Fundamental view of the fixture design in use of load profile model

Flows of the fixture design method in use of load profile model are shown in Figure1. Although water supply system, drainage system and hot water supply system havesome difference because each part examined independently, the fundamental flow is thesame.

The feature of the fixture design method in use of load profile model is shown below.(1) Since a plan and a design can be performed when the load profile model of a

building has been grasped about, it can expect whether the maximum loadoccurs in what time zone, a day of the week, and a season.

(2) A engineer can setup the degree of margin (design level) at the fixture design.(3) Load calculation can be performed using a water supply unit.(4) A designer can setup the optimal capacity freely under various restrictions

conditions.A load profile model is created for each building type or each specific use. Although

illustrated from previous reference and survey data by making a model in this paper, theengineer may create it from past actual results and past data.

From the model, a engineer determines the degree of concentration on thecontinuation time in the peak hour or the diversity factor simultaneous usage factor inthe peak hour, and the grade and design level are setup using the load profile model. Itturns out on what design level the engineer has setup the load profile model by this process.

In addition, the load profile model is shown and formed into the less dimension by therate of each time to water or hot water demand per day.

The pattern of water or hot water use of the building in plan can be setup bymultiplying the load profile model, number of persons and a water supply unit. If thebuilding in plan is a complex building and single plumbing system, the pattern of wateror hot water use created for each building type is compoundable.

Next, a fixture design is performed using the pattern of water or hot water use.About water supply system and drainage system, capacity of pump and effective

capacity of water storage tank are determined. The relation of capacity of pump andeffective capacity of water storage tank is called for dynamically by inputting theshortest operation time of a water supply or drainage pump and capacity of pump in thisdesign method.

About hot water supply system, capacity of hot water storage tank and water heatingcapacity in central hot water supply system are determined. By the design method,water heating capacity and hot water storage capacity are calculated in use of theintegrated load curve which integrated the pattern of hot water use for every time. Thewater heating capacity and the remaining volume of hot water in a hot water storagetank can be understood visually by the integrated load curve.

In addition, effective capacity of water storage tank and capacity of pump in watersupply system and drainage system, and hot water storage capacity and water heatingcapacity in hot water supply system do not become settled uniquely. Therefore, aengineer will determine those optimal values according to other factors, such aseconomical efficiency and an installation space.

A trial calculation result in use of load profile model is shown in the followingchapters, carrying out comparison with the fixture design method used conventionaldesign methods.

3. The elevated tank and the sump pit design method

3.1 The conventional design method

3.1.1 Design method of an elevated tankIn reference 1) and 2), the design method of an elevated tank is almost the same.

Here, the design method in reference 2) is shown in the formula (1). Moreover, adiagram is shown in Figure 2.

The formula (1) is considered to maintain balance of the water income and outgo in thecontinuation time of probable peak flow rate of water supply. Moreover, the shortestoperation time of a water supply pump is secured, and the life of a pump and a relay, theamount of use electricity are taken into consideration.

The problems of the above-mentioned calculation formula are that probable waterdemand at a peak hour (Qp) and capacity of pump (Qpu) is not clear. That is, whenperforming an elevated tank design using this formula, it is the problem that the data fora designer selecting effective capacity of elevated tank is not prepared.

3.1.2 Design method of a sump pitA sump pit design method in reference 1) and 2) is expressed with the formula (2),

and is the same. Moreover, a diagram is shown in Figure 3.

21)( TQTQQV pupup +−= ………………………………………………………(2)where,

V : effective capacity of a sump pit [L]Qp : peak discharge flow rate to a sump pit [L/min]Qpu : capacity of pump [L/min]T1 : continuation time of peak discharge flow rate in the peak hour [min]T2 : the shortest operation time of a sewage pump [min] [from 5 minutes to 15

minutes]

A sump pit also has the same problem as an elevated tank, and decomposition ofwastewater will be caused if the capacity of a sump pit is too larger. Although it isnecessary to perform a suitable design from the relation between the capacity of a sumppit and the capacity of pump, it is the problem which cannot judge it easily by thecalculation formula.

3.2 Creation of a pattern of water use and simulation of the amount of water ina water storage tank

3.2.1 Creation of a pattern of water useThe survey data of 22 houses in a super high rise apartment 6) was used to make the

load profile model classified by specific use in every hour what added together the samesystem of water supply and hot water supply, and the load profile model was used as apattern of water use (level II). Moreover, the pattern of water use which doubled the rateof the peak load of each specific use, and raised the degree of concentration of load wasused as a level I. Furthermore, the pattern of water use which took the three-pointmoving average of each time zone in each specific use was made as a level III which islower concentration degree of load. The pattern of water use in each level is shownfrom Figure 4 to Figure 6. And the relation between the effective capacity of waterstorage tank and the capacity of pump was seen using those pattern of water uses.

In this paper, the number was set as 300 persons, and the water supply unit was setupin use of the survey data of the reference 6) as Table 1.

3.2.2 Simulation of the amount of water in a water storage tankThe program which carries out the simulation of the amount of water in a water

storage tank was created. The relation between the effective capacity of water storagetank and the capacity of pump was calculated using this.

Furthermore, the maximum operation time of pump and the number of times anoperation by the capacity of pump were calculated. The flowchart of the simulation inan elevated tank is shown in Figure 7. Here, the simulation is performed by making5:00 into start time from change of the pattern of water use. Moreover, in order to catchamount of water per 1 minute, the pattern of water use is interpolated per 1 minute. Inthis paper, it is calculating by setting capacity to zero in order to calculate the minimumtank capacity to the capacity of pump. These calculation results are shown from Figure8 to Figure 10.

3.3 Results of calculation

3.3.1 Change of the capacity of pump by the design levelIf an elevated tank and a sump pit do not take time delay into consideration, they

completely bring the same calculation result. Therefore, the following calculationresults can be used common to both of the water storage tank design methods.

Change of the effective capacity of water storage tank and the capacity of pump (rateof the capacity of pump to the average water consumption per hour) was analyzed everythree design levels in use of the pattern of water use from Figure 4 to Figure 6 (Figure11). The calculation result (duration of time is 16 hours; probable water demand at apeak hour is 3 times of the average water consumption per hour; continuation time ofprobable water demand at a peak hour is 30 minutes; the minimum operation time ofpump is 10 minutes) by the conventional method is shown as comparison.

In the simulation, when the capacity of pump is small, there is a tendency foreffective capacity of water storage tank to become large. Moreover, when the rate of thecapacity of pump is from 3 to 4, the capacity of effective water storage tank becomessmall rather than the conventional method. When it sees from the effective capacity ofwater storage tank, the variation in the capacity of pump is large near 5% by the level.

3.3.2 Change of the capacity of pump by the water consumptionThe analysis of Figure 11 uses as data the water consumption setup by 1% excess

probability in consideration of the variation in the water consumption per day. Theresult in case of the water consumption setting up by an average or 5% excessprobability is shown in Figure 12. In this figure, change is small.

3.3.3 Change of the maximum operation time of pump and the number of timesan operation by the capacity of pump

It is desirable from a point of efficiency to shorten the maximum operation time andto increase the number of times an operation. From the above-mentioned viewpoint,according to Figure 13, it becomes the best operation when the rate of the capacity ofpump is 3 neighborhoods.

4. The hot water supply system design method

4.1 The conventional design method

4.1.1 The method of calculating from the rate to the hot water supply demandper day by ASHRAE

There are "the method calculated from the number of persons" and "the method ofcalculating from fixtures" as the calculation method of the hot water supply system. It issaid that the results of those two methods do not correspond. It is because the relationbetween number of persons and fixtures does not become fixed, and individualdifference is in the hot water demand. It is more greatly calculated as generallycalculating from fixtures. In the central hot water supply system, the method calculatedfrom the number of persons is mainly used.

a. The method calculated from the number of personsIn case of the method calculated from the number of persons, it needs to multiply the

member per day for every specific use by hot water supply unit (Table 2).

dd NqQ = ………………………………………………………………………(3)

hdh qQQ = ………………………………………………………………………(4)vQV d= ……………………………………………………………………...…(5)

N : number of persons [persons]Qd : hot water supply demand per day [L/day]Qh : maximum hot water supply demand per hour [L/h]V : effective capacity of hot water storage tank [L]H : water heating capacity [kcal/h] {1.163W}qd, qh, v, γ : based on Table 2

b. The method of calculating from fixturesThe number of times of the maximum use in each fixture is calculated, and those are

all totaled. The value is multiplied by the simultaneous usage factor of fixturesaccording to building, and the maximum hot water supply demand per hour iscalculated. Moreover, there is a table which calculates capacity of hot water storagetank with the hot water supply from a fixture per hour according to building (Table 3).

4.1.2 Calculate from the relations of a hot water storage tank and water heatingcapacity in consideration at the continuation time in the peak hour

The relation of a formula (7) is realized to a hot water storage tank and a waterheating equipment in the peak hour. In this calculation, the relation which a hot waterstorage and a water heating fixture can be calculated by the ability to expect thetemperature fall of a hot water storage at the continuation time in the peak hour. In orderto perform calculation, it is necessary to decide on peak load and the continuation timein the peak hour. This method is effective to the building which can consider intensiveuse (Figure 14 and Figure 15).

capacity of hot water storage tank)Q : maximum hot water supply demand per hour [L/h]H : water heating capacity [W]T : continuation time of a peak [h]

4.1.3 Problem of the conventional design method The subject of the conventional design method is the following three points.(1) Since the maximum load is determined by the fixed ratio from the hot water

supply demand per day, the basis and trace to design cannot be shown.Moreover, it cannot judge whether the capacity of hot water storage tank issuperfluous and insufficient.

(2) When planning and designing, time series load change cannot be imagined.Moreover, before operating a building, it cannot expect whether the maximumload occurs in what time, a day of the week, and a season. Therefore, operationin consideration of load change cannot be performed.

(3) In a hot water storage tank design, since its capacity is decided by the fixed ratiolike (1), there is little flexibility of design. Therefore, it may become asuperfluous design and an insufficient design.

Since calculation process is simple, the conventional design method is effective inthe outline design at a master plan. In this paper, the design method using the loadprofile model is proposed based on the above-mentioned subject.

4.2 Selection method of capacity of hot water storage tank and water heatingcapacity using the integrated load curve

4.2.1 Definition of the integrated load curveThe relation between the load curve and the integrated load curve, and the relation

between the average load and the average water heating capacity line are shown inFigure 16. The integrated load curve integrates with the load in each hour. Moreover,the average water heating capacity line integrates with the average load.

The average heating performance to use here shows the heating performance in a 24hour average or in a duration of use. However, when suspending hot water system atnight, the average by the hours worked of hot water system must examine.

4.2.2 Calculation of capacity of hot water storage tank and water heatingcapacity in use of the integrated load curve

Tangential inclination of the integrated load curve in each time shows the requiredwater heating capacity in the time. The difference of an integrated load curve and waterheating capacity line indicates required capacity of hot water storage tank in the time.

Therefore, the maximum difference of water heating capacity line and an integratedload curve indicates required capacity of hot water storage tank.

If the inclination of water heating capacity line becomes large, required capacity ofhot water storage tank becomes small. Moreover, the maximum tangential inclinationshows the maximum water heating capacity. A diagram is shown in Figure 17.

4.2.3 Fixture selection from the relation between capacity of hot water storagetank and water heating capacity

Required capacity of hot water storage tank is read in use of the integrated load curvecreated from the load profile model (Figure 18 and Figure 19) based on the designlevel as Figure 17. The calculation checks quantity of remained hot water, and that thequantity does not become zero. That is, the calculation checks satisfying a formula (8)for every hour.

0)( 1 >−+ − hthth QVH ………………………………………………………......(8)but

VVht ≤where,

Hh : water heating capacity per hour (quantity which makes hot water)Vht-1 : quantity of the hot water which remains 1 hour ago (t-1) in the hot water

storage tankQht : hot water supply demand in 1 hour (t)V : effective capacity of hot water storage tank

The combination of effective capacity of hot water storage tank and water heatingcapacity is calculated based on the above calculation process.

4.3 Results of calculation and comparison with the conventional fixture designmethod

The hotel which 500 persons can accommodate as a model of an independent usewas taken up, and it calculated by the proposed method and the conventional method.The pattern of hot water use and the integrated load curve used for the model is shownin Figure 20. Moreover, design conditions are shown in Table 4. And a result is shownin Figure 21.

Effective capacity of hot water storage tank and water heating capacity are calculatedmore smallish by the proposed design method as compared with the two conventionaldesign methods.

5. Conclusion

This paper proposed the fixture design method in use of load profile model. In thewater supply system and the drainage system, while the designer took into considerationthe capacity of pump and effective capacity of elevated tank, or effective capacity ofsump pit, it was shown concretely that the design can be carried out. In the hot watersupply system, while the designer took into consideration effective capacity of hot waterstorage tank and water heating capacity, it was shown concretely that the design can becarried out.
