heated per day, and the maximum amount which will be used in any one hour, as well as the duration of the peak load.
In cases where the requirements for hot water are reason ably uniform, as in residences, apartment buildings, hotels, and the like, smaller storage capacity is required than in the case of factories, schools, and office buildings, where practi cally the entire day's usage of hot water occurs during a very short period. Correspondingly, the heating capacity must be proportionately greater with uniform usage of hot water than with intermittent usage where adequate storage be provided to carry over the momentary peak load. With inter mittent usage there may be several hours between prak de mands during which the water in the storage tank mn be brought up to temperature. As a general rule, it is desirable to have a large storage capacity in order that the Halting capacity, and consequently the size of the heater, or the load on the heating boiler, may be as small as possible.
In estimating the hot water which ran be drawn from a storage tank, it should be borne in mind that only about 70 percent of the volume of the tank is available, sinra, by tbe time this quantity has been drawn off, the incoming cold water has cooled the remainder down to a point where it ran no longer be considered hot water.
Where steam from the heating boiler is used to heat do mestic hot water, the computed load on the boiler should be increased by 4 sq ft EDR (equivalent direct radiation) for every gallon of water per hour heated through a 100 deg rise. The actual requirement is (100 X 8^3)/240 = 3.48 sq ft per gal heated 100 deg. The value of 4 allows for transmission losses.
There are two methods in common use for estimating the hot water requirements of a building: (1) by the number of
people, and (2) by the number of plumbing fixtures in stalled. Where the number of people to be served can be rea sonably estimated, the data in Table 11 may be used.
Example J: Determine the heater size and storage tank ranacity tor a residence housing five people.
Solution: From Table 11, a residence housing five people
would have a daily requirement of 5 X 40 = 200 gal per day and
a maximum hourly demand of 200 X 1/7 = 285 gal. The heater
should have a storage capacity of 200 X 1/5 = 40 gal. and a
heating capacity of 200 X 1/7 = 285 gal per hr.
The conditions given in Example 3 may be cited as aver age. It is possible to vary the storage and heating capacity by
increasing and decreasing one over the other. Such a condi tion is illustrated in Example 4.
Example 4: Determine the required heater capacity for an a^rtment homsu^aX) people, if the storage tank has a eapac ity of 1000 gal. What heater capacity'will be required if the storage tank is changed to 2500 gal capacity?
Solution: Assume an apartment house housing 200 people Fran the data m Table 11: Daily requirements = 200 X 40 s
8000 gal. Maximum hours demand - 8000 X 1/7 = luo n1

Table 12 may be used to determine tbe size of water heat
ing equipment from the number of fixtures. To obtain the probable maximum demand, multiply the total quantity for the fixtures by the demand factor in line 19. The heater or corl should have a water heating capacity equal to this prob-
able maximum demand. The storage tank should have
capacity equal to the probable maximum demand multiotJl by the storage capacity factor in line 20. Example s\5 illustrate tbe procedure.

Although, in private dwellings a water temperature of 140 F is reasonable for dishwashing, in public places sanitation regulations make 180 F water mandatory in the rinsing cycle.
Thus the hot water requirements for food service establish ments present special problems, due to the need for two water temperatures. The lower temperature water is dis. tributed for.general use, but the 180 F water.should be con fined to the equipment requiring ii, and should be obtained by boosting the temperature at that point. It would be danger ous to distribute 180 F water for general use.
The U. S. Public Health Service, the National Sanitation Foundation, and other health and .sanitation organizations have formulated rules and standards of cleanliness for com mercial food service establishments. Certain of these rules as sume that the dishes in public eating places are sufficiently free of bacteria. The National Sanitation Foundation h* published standards for the design of dishwashing inar.h?na and water heaters used by restaurants.
In a restaurant, bacteria kill is usually achieved by exposing the washed dish to a rinse of 180 F water for several seconds. In addition, an ample supply of general purpose hot water, usually 140-150 F, is required for the wash cycle of dishwash ers,.as well as for persons! use, pot washing, general cleaning and other restaurant hmw
In order to correctly size a water heating system it is neces sary to determine:
1. Types and sizes of dishwashers used. 2. Required quantity of general purpose hot water (manu
facturers' data should be consulted to determine the '*>*! fill requirements of the wash tanks). 3. Duration of peak hot water dTn*nri period. 4. Inlet water temperature.
5. Type and capacity of existing water heating system. 6. Type of water heating system desired.
The American Gas Association has published a recom mended procedure* for sizing gas-fired water heaters for res taurants. This procedure is discussed in the following para graphs.
Table 13 is used to size the required heater or heaters after allowance has been made for the quantity of hot water that may be withdrawn from the storage fomk each hour. The gen eral, purpose-and 180 F water requirements are determined from Tables 14 and 15.
To determine tbe quantity, in gallons per hour, of usable hot water from storage, the duration, in hours, of consecu-
