Abstract [sv]

I denna studie jämfördes tre varmvattencirkulation-system med syftet att ta fram ett system som uppfyller Boverkets krav men också upprätthåller temperaturnivåer som förhindrar legionella bildning. Prestandan i systemen undersöktes och jämfördes med hänsyn till faktorerna: temperatur, uppehållstid och värmeförlust. VVC-modellerna inspirerades av BeBo:s förstudie Allternativa VVC-lösningar i flerbostads hus. Denna studie fokuserade till majoriteten på konvesionella VVC-lösningar, något som BeBo:s studie inte gjorde. Partiell differentialintegrationsberäkningarna och simuleringen utfördes i COMSOL Multiphysics, där Modell Två visade sig ha högst prestanda. Modell Två är ett tappvattenrörsystem med ett stamrör och ett VCC-rör i trapphuset, där rören från varje lägenhet är kopplade till stamröret i varje plan.

Resultatet visade att detta system presterade bäst i snabbast uppvärmning av lägenhetsrörelsen mellan de förbestämda tidsintervallerna av vattenspolningar och gav lägst värmeförluster per dyng. Sammanfattningsvis ansågs flerbostadshus med ett enda stam- och VVC-rör placerad i trapphused med stamröret kopplad till alla lägenheter vara bäst lämpad enligt detta examensarbete. Studien gav även insikt i programmet COMSOL Multiphysics och dess flexibilitet och användning, samt hur det kan utnyttjas i framtida undersökningar vid jämförekse av VVC-system. 

Abstract [en]

This study compares three hot water reciculation systems, where each system's performance has been evaluated in terms of temperature, flushing time, and energy loss. The aim was ti stimulate a sustainable system that can obtain tempererature levels that holds legionella bacteria from growing a bacteria that can be fatal to patients with a weak immune system. The hot water circulation models were inspired by BeBo's recent study Alternative solutions for Hot Water Recirculation Systems in apartment buildings (Alternativa VVC-lösningar i flerbostadshus) which presented alternatives for HWR systems generally seen as unconventional. Nontheless, this study focused on comparing more coonventional methods due to intial limitations made by interested parties. The results were obtained through partial differential equation calculations and simulations made in COMSOL Multiphysics.

Results were distinctive and strongly indicated that "Modell Två" performed best, this was due to its construction of one main distribution line in the stairwell together with a hot water recirculation pipe, and pipes goinf from the main distribution line to each apartment. This system's results were superior, both in the category of heating the apartment pipes the fastest in between usage intervals and also in generating the lowest value in heat loss per day. In conclusion, the building with the main distribution line and the HWR pipe in the stairwell with the main distribution line connecting to all apartments was best suited for this bachelor thesis. The study further showed the significance of SOMSOL Multiphysics, and how it can be used as a tool to broaden knwoledge and compare hot water recirculation systems.
