Download or read book Design of Potable Water Plumbing Systems written by Anuj Bhatia and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plumbing water distribution systems are designed on the idea of the most probable peak demand loading, which reflects the worst-case scenario for a system. These types of systems require different considerations than large-scale water distribution networks. The difference is primarily attributed to uncertainty regarding the use of plumbing fixtures, hence uncertainty in demand loadings.This 4-hour Quick Book provides comprehensive design methodology and underlying principles of plumbing water systems. This course addresses the design criteria for estimating potable water demand for residential and transitory use facilities. This course is intended to provide basic information, which may be used for conceptual design in the absence of any more appropriate information. The course is divided into four parts as follows:• PART I - Estimating Water Demands and Plumbing Codes• PART II - Estimating Non-Residential Water Demands• PART III - Sizing Auxiliaries such as Piping, Pumps, Storage & Expansion tanks• PART IV - System Reliability and Regulatory ConsiderationsThis course is aimed at students, architects, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, facility designers, health and environment professionals, energy auditors and anyone who wants a basic understanding of plumbing systems. Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end to enhance course learning. Learning ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this course, the student will: • Understand the factors influencing the potable water demand;• Learn the model plumbing codes applicable to potable water plumbing systems;• Learn the Hunter's method for approximating peak demand loadings on a building's water distribution system.• Describe the terms maximum flow, average flow, maximum probable flow, continuous demand and intermittent demand;• Understand the fixture unit concept to determine the rate of flow with a plumbing pipe;• Learn with example the application of Hunter's curve and demand tables;• Learn the American Water Works Association (AWWA) “Fixture Value Method for sizing service water mains for non-residential demands;• Learn four approaches related to plumbing water pipe sizing;• Understand the advantages and disadvantages of using copper v/s plastic pipe for potable water service;• Understand the method of sizing booster water pump/s;• Understand the regulatory requirements and system reliability considerations when analyzing or estimating water demands.

Download or read book Drinking Water Distribution Systems written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting and maintaining water distributions systems is crucial to ensuring high quality drinking water. Distribution systems-consisting of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances-carry drinking water from a centralized treatment plant or well supplies to consumers' taps. Spanning almost 1 million miles in the United States, distribution systems represent the vast majority of physical infrastructure for water supplies, and thus constitute the primary management challenge from both an operational and public health standpoint. Recent data on waterborne disease outbreaks suggest that distribution systems remain a source of contamination that has yet to be fully addressed. This report evaluates approaches for risk characterization and recent data, and it identifies a variety of strategies that could be considered to reduce the risks posed by water-quality deteriorating events in distribution systems. Particular attention is given to backflow events via cross connections, the potential for contamination of the distribution system during construction and repair activities, maintenance of storage facilities, and the role of premise plumbing in public health risk. The report also identifies advances in detection, monitoring and modeling, analytical methods, and research and development opportunities that will enable the water supply industry to further reduce risks associated with drinking water distribution systems.

Download or read book Plumbing System Models for a Set of Reference Buildings written by Stephen Zimmerman and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reference buildings have been defined previously and successfully applied to energy and indoor air quality analyses, providing a platform for consistent comparisons between different building design and operation scenarios. One such set of reference buildings, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) suite of homes, is a collection of dwellings developed to represent 80 % of the U.S. housing stock at the time of their development [1]. A second set is the Department of Energy's commercial prototype building models, which is a collection of buildings developed to represent U.S. commercial and institutional buildings [2]. These building models allow for the assessment of new technologies and the resulting impacts on building energy efficiency, ventilation, and indoor air quality. In addition to the aforementioned aspects of building performance, water quality and efficiency are also of current interest [3]. A building's premise plumbing system plays a critical role in managing water quality and efficiency by bringing in clean, potable water and removing wastewater and can impact health and safety of building occupants. Using models to evaluate the performance of premise plumbing systems can be useful but most studies have considered different buildings with different plumbing systems. In order to support more consistent modeling efforts, NIST has developed premise plumbing system models for three residential buildings and four commercial buildings and has made them available for researchers and industry to analyze system performance, new technologies, and design & operation strategies. This report describes the seven plumbing system designs, how they were developed and how they can be accessed.
