Simulationsstudie Installationsschacht

In this project, a simulation study was carried out to analyse a combined configuration of a service shaft containing cold water, heating supply, heating return, wastewater, and room exhaust air. The objective was to examine the temperature rise of the cold water due to this integrated setup under various simulation scenarios. The study determined the time required for the cold water to reach 25°C during an 8-hour stagnation period without water usage. Key parameters such as pipe layout, thermal conductivity of the insulation, and exhaust air temperature were varied in the simulations.

In none of the variants does the cold water reach 25°C within the 8-hour period, which means that a combined configuration of the service shaft is feasible and a separate shaft for hot and cold water is not necessary.
