Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 8 - Water boosting in commercial buildings
Achieved badges:
01.
Q: Does a zone divided system require pressure relief valves?
A: No
01.
Q: Does a zone divided system require pressure relief valves?
A: Yes, if the pressure from the main exceeds 10 bar
01.
Q: Does a zone divided system require pressure relief valves?
A: Yes, they will serve as a safety valve in case of pump failure
02.
Q: Where are the booster sets in a zone divided system placed?
A: In the basement of the building
02.
Q: Where are the booster sets in a zone divided system placed?
A: Next to the tap at the critical spot
02.
Q: Where are the booster sets in a zone divided system placed?
A: In a pit right in front of the building
03.
Q: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
A: There is no excessive pressure in the system
03.
Q: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
A: The booster manifold is made of stainless steel and therefor requires no braze valves
03.
Q: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
A: As you typically have a break tank, pressure relief valves are not needed
04.
Q: What is a zone divided booster system?
A: The supply system is split into several zones, each with its own booster set
04.
Q: What is a zone divided booster system?
A: A zone divided system is defined by only using in-line pumps
04.
Q: What is a zone divided booster system?
A: You always have a spare pump in case of failure
05.
Q: What is the purpose of pressure relief valves?
A: They reduce the pressure on the lower floors in single booster systems
05.
Q: What is the purpose of pressure relief valves?
A: They reduce the pressure from the city mains at the entrance of the building
05.
Q: What is the purpose of pressure relief valves?
A: They are used in high-rise buildings of more than 20 storeys to reduce pressure on the top floors
06.
Q: What is the purpose of a booster pump?
A: To increase water pressure
06.
Q: What is the purpose of a booster pump?
A: To reduce lime sediments in steel pipes
06.
Q: What is the purpose of a booster pump?
A: To increase water pressure in plate heat exchangers used for hot water production
