.AixLib.Fluid.Pools.IndoorSwimmingPool

Information

Overview

Model for indoor swimming pools to calculate energy and water demands. Optional use of a wave machine, pool cover, partial load for the circulation pump and heat recovery from wastewater or recycling. In addition, an ideal heater can be used to heat the pool.

Important parameters and Inputs

• All pool specific parameters are collected in one AixLib.DataBase.Pools.IndoorSwimmingPoolBaseRecord record.
• openingHours: Input profile for the opening hours to consider a pool cover or a reduced circulation flow during non-operating hours. Also, during non-opening hours pool occupancy is set to 0.
• persons: Input profile for occupancy of the pool to consider occupancy level for evaportaion.

Assumptions

• Evaporation is determined according to VDI 2089.
• Filter and disinfection units are not explicitly modeled and have to be considered within the pump delivery head (pumpHead). According to Saunus 1.7 bar is a good estimation for swimming pools in sport oriented swimming facilities.
• The type of the filter should be taken into account within the determination of the volume flow and storage capacities. DIN 19643 provides standards for the volume flow and storage capacities, taking into account the pool size and type as well as the filter type.
• There are no water losses or heat gains due to people entering or leaving the swimming pool.
