Water withdrawal strategy: flushing

The ‘Flushing Technology’ water extraction strategy in the water extraction simulation follows a specific extraction sequence. The extraction sequence of the ‘Flushing Technology’ water extraction strategy specifies the order in which flushing of flushing installations and flushing-related consumers takes place.
  1. Supply pipe to the fire-fighting water transfer station
  2. Flushing technology in Coolflow systems
  3. PWH flow paths
    • Prioritisation is based on:
      1. Flow paths without water meters and flow dividers in the passage
      2. Flow paths without water meters but with flow dividers
      3. Flow paths with water meters
  4. PWC flow paths
    • Prioritisation is based on:
      1. Flow paths without water meters and without flow dividers in the passage
      2. Flow paths without water meters and with flow dividers
      3. Flow paths with water meters
  5. Flow paths to mixed-use consumers
    • Prioritisation is based on:
      1. Flow paths without water meters and without flow dividers in the flow path
      2. Flow paths without water meters and with flow dividers
      3. Flow paths with water meters
Note:
Sorting is always based on the withdrawal flow rate. If two withdrawal flow rates are identical, prioritisation is based on the length of the flow path.
Note:
The termination criterion for the ‘flushing’ water extraction strategy is a single water exchange in all sections where water is in motion.
