Application
Domestic Hot Water
This standard calculates the diversity based on
- Number of tapping points
- Type of the tapping points
- Total DHW flow
- Diversified DHW flow
- Number of dwellings
Since the standard does not provide
design flows for individual tapping points
or a formula to apply diversity on the total DHW flow within one dwelling
it is not possible to define tapping points using this standard,
you must specify and lock the diversified flow of each HIU manually.
Diversity formula
With this calculation method, the diversity factor decreases according to the formula (2qm + Θ(Σqf-2qm) + Asqrt(qm*Θ)sqrt(Σqf-2qm))/Σqf, in which Σqf = T = the sum of the diversified HIU flows.
This formula only applies when 0.2 <= T. It is important to note that calculation is applicable for T expressed in liter per seconds. We assume A=3.1; Θ = 0.015; qm=0.1
Applies diversity
- inside the dwelling
- outside the dwelling
Requires recalculation of DHW flows?
No.
