Hot Water Temperature Drop in a Pipe as a Parameter in Order to Define Operation Time of a Circulation Loop in Domestic Hot Water Distribution System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The content of this submission is to define the operation time of a hot water circulation loop in term of the hot water temperature drop in a time depending on several factors. Type and diameter of a pipe, thickness of a thermal pipe insulation, location of distribution pipes and ambient temperature around the pipes belong among these significant factors. All these parameters and others are used in the analytic calculation of the hot water temperature drop in a time according to the standard STN EN 15316-3-2. So we can use the calculated time of hot water temperature drop in order to define time intervals of the water circulation in hot water distribution pipes. The aim of this submission is to determine heat losses from hot water distribution pipes and calculate the electric energy consumption of the circulation pump for this design state. The study results are demonstrated on the model object of a multi-dwelling house.
