|
Pipe System with Energy Recovery via a Turbine
This water distribution system incorporates two pumps to raise water to higher elevations. A turbine has been designed into the system to recover some of the energy used in the water distribution. |

Example 14 - Pressurized Recirculation Piping with Top-Up Tanks |
|||
|
Top up Tanks with Pressurized Recirculation System Three similar views of a domestic heating system are shown. All layouts are fully recirculating with no flow outlets from the system. A top-up tank is incorporated into the designs to make up any leakage from the system. |

Example 15 - Pipe Sizing Design for Replacement Piping |
|||
|
Pipe Sizing for new Piping Design Water is being transferred from an upper reservoir to a reservoir at a lower level using the difference in head between the surface elevations as the motive force. It is proposed to replace the leaking system with new PVC (AWWA) pipe. |

Example 17 - Pressure Reducing Valves |
|||
|
Modeling a Pressure Reducing Valve Modeling a Pressure Reducing Valve in the pipe system to limit the pressure in the lower parts of the system, which reduce pipework joint leakages while still maintaining the minimum outlet pressures. |
||
Example 18 - Back Pressure Valves |
|||
|
Modeling Back Pressure Valves in a Pipe System A Back Pressure Valve (BPV) has been fitted in pipe P3 to maintain the minimum pressure at the outlet from node N2 in the upper part of the piping system. |
