Swimming Pool Calculation
Swimming Pool Calculation
According To International Swimming Pool Code for every 25 m2 surface area need 1 inlet
NO. Water Inlets = 14.8 inlets
So Get the No. Of inlets = 15 inlets
Get Swimming Pool Pump Capacity = Pool Volume / ( Turn Over Period * 60 )
= 3.49 m3/min
Balance tank volume = 40 L/m2 X Pool Surface area + 10 min X pump flow rate +
0.01 X pool surface area
= 35.95 m3
Balance tank volume = 36 m3
NOTE :-
No. of pipe will be taken according to No. of inlet for 4 inlet in series take to Dia 4
Suction pipe maximum velocity will be 1.2 m/s
Pump flow rate = 104.7 m3/hr
No. Of outlet = 4 Outlet
Each outlet give flow rate = 26.175 m3/hr
NOTE :-
No. of pipe will be taken according to No. of outlet for 2 outlet in series take to Dia 2
NOTE :-
No. of pipe will be taken according to No. of over flow unit for 4 unit take to Dia 4
Heater is required for heating purposes at winter seasons if required take inconsideration that
it's not particle to heat the pool without covers at coldest winter months
For calculation purposes the following conditions to be considered:-
The recommended Pool water temperature is around 28 º C deg.
Outdoor air condition : 29 / 10 deg º C DB/WB –summer condition, max 122deg F (32 C)
: 21/ 10 deg º C DB/WB -winter condition
From SPATA p5, Sec3, the Average Daily heat loss (DH) in KWhr / m2 of pool surface area
Correction Value Will be Changed According to type of Swimming Pool And it`s Location
Swimming Pool Type and Location Outdoor / Exposed Pool Location
correction value to be used in calculation = 1.25
48 hours
hours per day available for heating
No. of hours per day available for heating = 48 hours
= Heater required Pool Volume * 1000 * ( Tc2 - Tc1) / ( 860 * Avaliable Heating Hour)
= 629* 1000 ( 28 - 10 ) / 860 * 48
= 342.9 Kw
The first part is the cooling load required to reduce the water temperature
to 28 deg º C as following
from SPATA tables there is no information about heat loss from pool areas the horen africa area condition
the avaliable data only at 15deg º C out door temp which is = 3.48 Kwh/m2
Assuming linearity condition the excepeted heat loss at 30deg º C = (30/15)x3.48 = 10.44 Kwh/m2
