유수율 제고를 위한 급수관로 압력제어에 관한 연구 A Study on the Pressure Control of Water Supply Pipeline to Improve the Revenue Water Rate
pp.97-103
This study aims to explore the appropriate water pressure control of water supply pipeline to reduce water losses of water supply network in Jinan-gun. The current water pressure status of each 5 blocks and the impact of optimized water pressure on improving revenue water rate were investigated. In order to obtain the flow rate and water pressure data of each small block, a smart hub is set in the pressure reducing valve chamber at the inlet of the small block, and a smart water pressure meter is installed in the fire hydrant and the faucet of the customer. For the pressure reducing valves installed for water pressure management system of each block, the diameter calculation standard and type of the pressure reducing valve are determined, and the application reasons are put forward. The analysis results of water pressure management for each small block in Jinan-gun show that the pressure control equipment and water pressure management need to be improved in four small blocks. The water flow rate in Jinan-eup and Sangjeon-myeon increases from 57.2% to 87.6% when the water pressure control is completed.
