6.2.2 Selection Based on Sanitary Utensils
Daily Water
Consumption (L)
Bathtub, Sprinkler system (with shower)
Bathtub, Sprinkler system (without shower)
6. 2.3 Selection of the Water Tank
Selection of the water tank should consider the flow rate of the shower head, duration of use per
person and daily water consumption.
t (design temperature): generally it is 60°C ;
t (entering cold water temperature): it differs for different regions;
t ( water tank temperature set point): it is the target heating temperature of the water tank.
α: correction factor
Empirical Values for Volume Correction of the Water Tank
Duration of Use
(min/Person)
Flow Rate of the
Shower Head
(L/min)
Empirical values are worked out under conditions of 80L consumption (per day per person), 8L/min
flow rate of the shower head, and 10 minutes use duration per person.
7 Examples for Model Selection
7.1 General Introduction to the Example Project
For a two-floor house, there is a master room and a both room for each floor and both of them
require floor heating. Other rooms use the heat pump for heating in winter. The master room covers
28m

and the both room covers 12m
