Introduction
Some diversity standards like DIN 1988-300 define a diversity factor at DHW side, based on the number & type of tapping points, and the total DHW flow. An example is the Based on DIN 1988-300
Option 1 : tapping points are defined
If the tapping points are defined, we can calculte the total DHW flow as a sum of all individual tapping points. We then use the diversity formula to calculate the diversified flow. An example can be found at e Based on DIN 1988-300
When calculating the diversity factor, we sum up the individual flows without recalculating them (as explained in Step 1 : recalculation of the tapflows). In other words : we calculate the diversity factor in a “standard“ situation.
