25、igning, planning, installation, inspection and testing of systems of hot water supply in commercial, industrial or multiple dwelling buildings supplied from a central source, including district or group schemes. Systems for use in individual dwellings are covered in Part 1. This Code does not deal w
26、ith the installation work required for the supply of steam or high pressure hot water to calorifiers (see3.17.2). Non-storage hot water supply appliances are not included in this Code. Reference should be made to CP333 and CP324.202. NOTEThe titles of the British Standards referred to in this Code a

32、ater is stored and heated by means of an internal element through which hot water is circulated in such a manner that it does not mix with the stored water 1.2.12 indirect system a system in which the water supplied to the draw-off points has been indirectly heated in an indirect cylinder or calorif
33、ier 1.2.13 maximum demand the total rate of water flow when all draw-off points are in use simultaneously 1.2.14 mechanical draught the use of a fan, usually electrically driven, to promote the movement of gases passing through the boiler and/or chimney 1.2.15 pressurizing unit a vessel that is conn
34、ected to a hot water system for accommodating increases in volumes due to expansion and/or to provide an adequate pressure 1.2.16 primary circuit a circuit in which water circulates between a boiler or other water heater and a hot water storage vessel 1.2.17 probable demand a rate of flow less than

36、, as is subject to water pressure from that main, or would be so subject but for the closing of some stopvalve 1.3 Exchange of information 1.3.1 At the planning stage the following matters should be agreed or determined by the installation designer, in consultation, where appropriate, with the build
37、ing designer: 1) fuel to be used; 2) location and dimension of boiler house or calorifier chamber and the plant loads imposed on the structure; 3) location and dimension of fuel store and access; 4) means of ash disposal; 5) location and dimensions of chimney; 6) location of the cold water cistern,
38、having regard to its size in relation to the maximum demand, its elevation as determining the head available, protection against frost and the weight to be supported;CP342-2:1974 BSI 07-1999 3 7) location of pipe runs and the size of all main ducts and trenches; 8) location and sizes of holes for pi
39、pes in the building which have to be preformed, e.g. in the case of prestressed or reinforced structural members; 9) drainage facilities for emptying the installation; 10) character of water supply; 11) details of gas and electricity supply, including location and size of meters; 12) adequate provis
40、ion of air for combustion and ventilation; 13) details of boiler house noise attenuation relative to: a. the plant and equipment b. the structure. 1.3.2 The installation designer should be supplied with scale drawings of the premises including plans and sectional elevations. 1.3.3 The installation d
41、esigner should issue: 1) drawings to scale, indicating the layout of the heating unit, storage vessel, circulating pump, cold water cistern and feed pipe, pipe runs and sizes, drying coils, towel rails, draw-off points, drain points, vent pipes and meters; 2) a full specification of the complete sys
42、tem stating capacities, ratings and conditions of performance to comply with the specific requirements; 3) a schedule of builders work and a set of drawings of builders work; 4) electrical wiring and control diagrams. 1.3.4 The installation contractor should provide and be responsible for all drawin
43、gs relating to special fabrication of pipes and, where so covered by the contract, assemblies of plant items. 1.3.5 The installation contractor should provide record drawings on which all work as installed is clearly shown and a set of operating and maintenance instructions including a list of recom
44、mended spares. 1.4 Programming 1.4.1 The installation of the hot water supply system should proceed in accordance with the general programme of operations for the construction of the entire project. The general programme should be prepared in consultation with all interested trades, as it is desirab
45、le that the installation of the hot water supply should proceed concurrently and in phase with the work of other contractors. Before the installation contractors work is due to commence, space for an adequate lock-up store and workshop accommodation should be provided. Racking for the storage and pr
46、otection of pipes should be provided. The installation contractor should ensure that all builders work necessary to meet the phased progress of the work has been completed. Priority should be given to completion of the boiler house, fuel store and plant room so as to facilitate delivery and erection
47、 of boilers, calorifiers, storage vessels, mechanical stokers and any other heavy plant. Suitable access should be provided. On completion of the installation or sections of the installation, the system should be tested and inspected for water-tightness; thermal insulation should then be applied and
48、 a test carried out under working conditions. 2 Materials, appliances and components 2.1 British Standards All materials, appliances and components used in the work described in this Code should comply with the requirements of the latest edition of any applicable British Standard. Where no British S
49、tandard exists, materials and equipment should be of suitable quality and workmanship and should be open to inspection at the manufacturers works before despatch. The detailed specification of all materials for which there is no British Standard should be available. 2.2 Boilers 2.2.1 Boilers may be classified broadly under two headings: 1) hot water supply boilers which are designed for the direct heating of the water actually drawn off, and 2) hot water supply boilers which are designed for the indirect heating of water actually drawn off. 2.2.2 The British Standar
