Sizing of building water piping systems under real flow rate

Most of the calculation techniques used for sizing building water piping systems does not assess the real flow and pressure that exist in each section of the pipe. When using such techniques, we can only verify the dynamic pressure agreement with given references for a given maximum flow rate. There...

When using such techniques, we can only verify the dynamic pressure agreement with given references for a given maximum flow rate. Therefore it is not possible to precisely determine how the operation of an appliance can influence another. This paper proposes a model for calculating the water consumption in buildings with open piping networks, under steady flow, which allows the real flow rate and pressure present in each point to be determined for any given use configuration. Every hydraulic law is determined for each component, as well as for each appliance attached to the piping. By using a numerical algorithm it is possible to determine flow rate and pressure values that satisfy all internal laws. This paper also presents considerations about a possible change of the paradigm used in building water systems sizing, from the traditional approach (that determines the maximum probable flow rate), to one in which the probability of occurrence of a given use configuration must be determined. A maior parte dos métodos de cálculo utilizados para dimensionamento de redes prediais de distribuição de água não permite avaliar as vazões e pressões reais presentes em cada seção da tubulação. Pelo uso dessas técnicas podemos verificar somente se, para uma dada vazão, tomada como “máxima”, a pressão dinâmica avaliada em determinado ponto satisfaz determinada referência. Assim, não é possível estabelecer com boa precisão como a operação de determinado aparelho influencia outro. Este artigo apresenta um modelo de cálculo para redes ramificadas de distribuição de água em edifícios, sob regime permanente de escoamento, que permite determinar pressões e vazões reais presentes em cada ponto, para uma dada configuração de utilização. Para tal, inicialmente determina-se cada lei hidráulica, de cada componente e aparelho, seguindo-se a determinação das relações mútuas entre tais componentes. Utilizando-se um algoritmo numérico apropriado, determina-se o conjunto de vazões e pressões que satisfaçam simultaneamente tais leis e relações. São também apresentadas considerações sobre uma mudança do modelo de cálculo utilizado em sistemas prediais de distribuição de água, do enfoque tradicional (que determina a maior vazão provável) para um novo enfoque, onde deve-se determinar a probabilidade de ocorrência de determinada configuração de acionamento.
