Determine the required water heater size for a 300-student womens dormitory for the following crite-
ria:
At this rate, storage required is 12 gal per student or 3600 gal total. On a 70% net usable basis, the necessary
tank size is 3600/0.7 = 5150 gal.
b. The same curve shows 5 gal storage per student at 2.5 gph recovery, or 300 x 5 = 1500 gal storage with
recovery of 300 x 2.5 = 750 gph. The tank size will be 1500/0.7 = 2150 gal.
c. The requirements for a cafeteria can be determined from Figure 19 and added to those for the dormitory. For
the case of minimum recovery rate, the cafeteria (Type A) requires 300 x 0.45 = 135 gph recovery rate and 300 x
7/0.7 = 3000 gal of additional storage. The entire building then requires 330 + 135 = 465 gph recovery and 5150 +
3000 = 8150 gal of storage.
With 1 gph recovery at the maximum hourly meal output, the recovery required is 300 gph, with 300 x 2.0/0.7 =
860 gal of additional storage. Combining this with item b, the entire building requires 750 + 300 = 1050 gph
recovery and 2150 + 860 = 3010 gal of storage.
Note : Recovery capacities shown are for heating water only. Additional capacity must be added to offset the
system heat losses.
