Chapter 35--Water Supply Piping and Water Heating
water demand can be heated during periods of light demand and stored up to^'use during the periods of heavy demand. The total water con sumption per person usually varies between 100 and 150 gal penday when laundry and culinary operations for the occupants are carried out on the same premises. The maximum hourly demand under these conditions will be found to be about one-tenth of the average daily consumption.
If one-third of the total water used is hot water arid 125 gal per day is assumed as a fair average of consumption per person, it is apparent that each person uses about 40 gal of hot water per day. If one-tenth of this represents the peak hourly load, then 4 gph must be allowed per person for the heaviest demand. If the average occupancy of apartments is 3 persons, the peak hour demand per apartment will be about 12 gph. It is customary to allow 10 gph of heating capacity per apartment. Water in excess of this heating capacity drawn out during the peak hours is

provided for by storage in the hot water tank where this water is heated during hours when the demand is below the average. Table 12-gives suggested storage tank sizes for homes and ..apartments based on the number of families or baths.
HOT WATER HEATERS
Various types of heaters are available for supplying the hot water for domestic service in buildings. In any hot water supply systeiri the water should..be heated to a. teinperature betweeh. l50'and 180 F. Where the hot water requirements include supplies for latchens, laundries or process work, the higher temperatures are used. In buildings where steam is available throughout the year, the hot water supply is usually taken from this source. In smaller domestic installations the fuel-burning device is generally automatically arranged so that hotwater is supplied the entire year and not merely when the boiler is used for heating purposes.
