A Method to Emphasize the Tartar Deposits Effect on the Performances of “Sanitary Installation” System

Abstract

The main interest of this paper generally refers to the results of an analysis regarding the influences of the tartar deposits effect on the water supply plumbing systems (mainly warm water installations made of steel pipes or polar plastic materials). The dysfunctional effect due to this effect has a consequence the increase of the linear pressure loss and the decrease of the service pressure of the consumers. To emphasize the effect of the tartar impurity deposit of the time behavior for the sanitary plumbing systems, the analysis was made using the MATLAB program facilities for the simulation of this phenomenon. The model allows several propositions to include the impurities deposit effect in the standard method to design the installations.
