Example 1:
Number of dwellers: 02
Number of baths / day: 1 bath / person
Average consumptions per bath: 80 liters
Solution:
Daily consumption = number of dwellers x number of baths x consumption, water/bath = 2x1x80=160 L/day
Calculation of the area for collectors
Usually we can adopt 1m²for each a hundred liters of daily consumption. If we use the SIMSOL model collector we can adopt.
K1 = correcting factor for different climates
Cold places: 1,33
Warm places: 1,00
Very hot places (clean sky): 0,80
K2 = correcting factor for orientations that diverge from the real north or real south.
Up to 15º = 1,00
From 15º to 20º = 1,05
From 20º to 25º = 1,10
Above 25º = use special support
Example 2:
Using the result of the example and knowing that the daily hot water consumption is of 160 liters, the climate of the region is the one of the warm places and the system is at 17º east.
Solution:
In this case, we will use a reservoir of 200 liters and a SIMSOL collector 1.7m2
Calculation of the volume of the reservoir:
In a one family residence, generally the volume of the reservoir is the same as the daily consumption. In spite of it.
There are situations in which the consumption habit is well defined and one part of it take place in the middle of the, this value can be decreased from the volume of the reservoir.
Thus, we have:
Volume of the reservoir(L) = daily consumption = consumption in the middle of the day
