PUMPING CIRCUIT SYSTEM. Thisis the process of ciculating hot water tothe plumbing fixtures by means ofa mechanical device, This type is generally adopted on large buldings where difficulties of providing ‘natural Grculation of hot water is impossible 1, The pump is installed to the circulating return mein pipa closer to the heating unit This type of hot water circulation is dependablo t having fewer parta to function and maintain. 2. The circulating return pipe is connected to the inet side of the purnp and the outlet side of the pump is connected into the return pipe to the 3, A gate vale is installed on each side of the pump. 4. The pump is provided with 3 by-pass line and a valve. In case of trouble the control valve is closed end the hot water citculate around the pump into the retutn of the heater. HOT WATER TANK This is one ofthe essential requirements for a domestis hot water system, It should be strong encugh to resist the high preseure of boling wate stored in it Two Types! 1. Range boiler —smell fot weter tank. 2. Storage Tank large hot wator tank, The Range Boiler is made of gahanized sheet, steel oF cooper, built nto cylinder shape with con: ave ends either welded! or riveted, The range bolle varies insite from 0,30 to 0.60 meter in da. ‘meter with a length of not more than 1.80 meters. ‘Standard Press = 378 Newtons (85 Psi) Extre Heavy = ‘687 Newtons (150 Psi) Tapping = 3B mm o 3B mm {1 or 11/2") ‘SIZE COMPUTATION OF HOT WATER TANK “DEPENDS ON” 4. Kind of building served 2. The expected number of occupants 4. The heating capacity of the supply devices, ‘The water heater must be of sufficient capacity to ‘replace the discharged water in a reasonable inter- al. Ifa Tank installed is required to serve 50 gal- {ons of hot water in any one hour of the day, the ‘heater must be able to replace this quantity in one hour. The rating or capacty of water heater is specified by the manufactures, Problem: Determine the size of a residential boiler tank to serve 6 parsons in the family: refer to ‘the Tables below, | kino OF BUILDING | GALLONS PER PERSON PER HOUR OFFICE” BUILDING 4105 | SCHOOL ~ | / arent |B oT HOTEL ° 3 1010 ° -_ 81010 | FACTORES 406 | 2 $6 | RESIDENCES oS 0. _ ~ | KIND OF BUILDING OFFICE, SCHOOL, INDUSTRIAL TYPE AVERAGE WORKING LOAD APARTMENTS: RESIDENCES Size of Tank is referred in Table below which is 18 gallons or if you wish a 26 gal.

Galvanized iron (G.1.) or Steet Pipes made out of a Mild Steel draw through a die _and welded cast into 6.00metore long. Its usua life span is from 16 0.20 years, However Steel pipe is subject to deposits of salts and lime which gradually accurate and even tually choke the flow of water. This type of pipe is corraded by atkaline anc! acd water “That is why when used for het waterline, it deteriorates faster then cold water supply pipe, Plastic or Synthetic Pipe ‘There are two types 2. Rigid Type i. Floxible Type Rigid Type can be: Polywiny| chloride (PVC) Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chioride (cPVC) Unplasticized Polyiny! Chloride (uPVC) Polypropylene (PP) ‘Acrylonitile Butadiene Styrone (ABS) 1e Rubber Plastic (SR) Flexible Types ave: 1. Polyethylene (PE) — Coll Form at 30 motors 2. Polybutylene (PB) up to 180 meters long in colt Form 3. Cast Iron Pipe— This is durable and is convenionty installed in most of the plumbing, ‘nends in building which ore les than 25 stoveys high because water usualy leaks at joints due to vibrations. Cast ron is algo atfected toa certain extent by corrosion caused by the action of carbon. oxide, sulphur oxide and methane gases forming a solution of carbonic acid and sul- hur acid which attack the metallic materials, causing 8 slow chemical reaction oF oxidation to take place forming ferrous oxide, called rusts, ‘Two Types: 1, SV—For building installations. 2. XV—For underground installations this are extra heavy. a 4. STANDARD 2. DOUBLE HUB 3. SINGLE HUB eee | 4.HUBLESS PIPE 44, Ack! Resistant Cast Iron Pipe —Made of an alloy of cast iron and slicon. Ite com- ‘monly installed in chemical laboratories where acid waste are being diecharged. 5. Asbestos Pipe -made of asbestos fibers and portland cement, The thickness is twice ‘hat of standard cast ton, Most suited for orabedment on concrete structures. 6. Bituminous Fiber Sewer Pipe—Cheapest light in weight, recommended for house ‘sewer and saptic tank installation. It could take sight soll movement without danger of cracking or pulling out of its joint. 7. Vittfied Clay Pipe—made fom clay and with a length of 0.75 meter treated with glaz~ ed compound, highly resistant to most acids and is wel suited in underground installations working ether as public oF house sewer, or storm in dain, Being made of clay. The physical property of this pipe fs brite. 1 easily cracks winen laid on unetabie ‘ground oF base 8. Lead Pipe—one of the oldest plumbing materials. Lead is highly resistant and is very suitable to underground installation. But because it is poisonous and injurious to human health, it is never recommended to convey water for human consumption. 9, Galvanized Wrought Iron Pipes —this is better than steel pipe for plumbing installa- tion, because it is more resistant to acid waste than the steel pipe. 10. Brass Pipe—The most expensive of all types of pipe. Made of an alloy of zinc and cop- er mixed at a proportion of 15% and 85% respectively. The brass pipe is a superior material for waste and water installation because of its smooth surface aside from its high resistance to acids. ‘11. Copper Pipes —A durable material which is extremely corrosive resistant-easiest to in- stall. Type K — heaviest for underground installations Type L_ — Lighter than type k comes in flexible end rigid type Type M — thinner and available only in rigid form. SIZE OF PIPE: “The size of the service pipe connecting the main and the house being served is governed by thi a} maximum demand and the b) probable demand or peak load MAXIMUM DEMAND —refers to the maximum water discharge for plumbing fixtures in terms of unit. The maximum demand of water supply is equal to the total fixture units in the plumbing system wherein one unit is approximately'valued at 8 gallons of water discharge per minute, Example: ‘One urinal has 6 Fixtures Units (See Table Below) 5x 8 gals = 40 gallons—the maximum demand of water supply per minute. FIXTURE UNIT VALUES Fixture Unit 16 8q. m roof drain Lavatory or Wash Basin Floor Drain Residential Sink BathTub Kitchen Sink Laundry Tub Shower Bath Sink, Hotel or Public Slop Sink Combination Fixture Urinal Water Closet One bathroom group consisting of Water Closet, Lavatory, BathTub and Overhead Shower 8 OOweNNNNNGHK= PROBABLE DEMAND OR PEAK LOAD Is another factor considered in determining the size of the water service pipe. The question of how many fixtures will be used simultaneously is difficult to ascertain, but according to survey. a. The Fewer the number of Fixtures installed the higher the percentage or probability of their simultaneous use. b. The greater the number of Fixtures installed, the lesser the percentage or possibility of simultaneous use. PROBABILITY OF SIMULTANEOUS USE OF FIXTURES Number of Percentage of Fixture Units Simultaneous Use 1toS 50 to 100% 6 to 50 2510 50% 51 or more 10to 25% EXAMPLE PROBLEM Determine the maximum and the probable demand of water for the tollowing fixtures in: stalled: 3 water closets: 3 lavatories; 1 kitchen sink; and 3 shower baths.’ What size of the service pipe is required to serve the above fixtures? SOLUTION: Solving for the total fixture units as based on the Table above 6x 3 Waterclosets = units 2x3 Lavatories 6 units * 2x1 Kitchen Sink units 2x3 Shower Bunits Total 32 Fixture Units ‘Solve for the Maximum: demand 32 units x 8 Gallons = 256 Gations Refering to the Table of Probable Use. 32 is between 6 to 60 Fixture Units and between 25 to 50%. Assume that 309% is safe for 32 units 0.20 x 256 gallons = 76.80 say 77 gals, per minute, Refer to the Tables below, particularly the Table for 25 mm under 6 m length with 178 newtons pressure, the size of pipe is 25 mm (1") and could supply 80 gallons per minute.
