About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

The task of every piping system of pool technology is smooth operation. This includes its design. It can be concluded that the design phase is the most important part of the project, as calculations and concrete drawings of the facility situations can facilitate subsequent work on the construction site. The same applies to the selection of standard system components, as the correct selection in the first phase means optimal operation and cost savings.

Problem

The task of every piping system of pool technology is smooth operation.

Solution and Method

This includes its design. The aim of the diploma thesis was to present the operation process of pool technology in a larger project and to demonstrate that the selection of elements significantly affects the operation itself. In the first part of the thesis, he presented the field of the diploma thesis itself, as the form of such pipelines is quite different from conventional ones.

Therefore, for easier understanding, he listed the basic concepts from the selected profession, simple schematic representations of the operation of swimming pool water filtration, and listed the standards and requirements from this technical field as simply as possible. The main part of the thesis consists of the calculation and selection of elements of the piping system with additional units. To make everything easier to understand, the field of operation is presented at the beginning of the thesis and supported with diagrams and drawings.

In the calculation part, he followed the standards that apply to this field. This includes mechanical calculations of fluid flows and the power of working pumps, as well as ** dimensioning of piping system diameters**. Thus, each part of the system was reviewed separately and proven with technical calculation.

With the collected data, we can form an operating model that greatly facilitates the representation of the system itself in practice. In the second part of the thesis, with the help of computer-aided technical drawing programmes, he sketched the operation scheme system and added to the floor plan of the facility a ** plan of the floor distribution of the pressure part of the piping system**. With the help of technical calculation and technical drawing programmes, we can determine in great detail how the works will proceed even before the commencement of their execution.

Thus, contractors of various works on the facility adapt all types of facility installations already in the design phase and avoid subsequent inconveniences and irregularities. This greatly reduces time, consequently work costs and consumption of materials and transport. With the help of plans and models, technical documentation of the final product is produced.

When selecting individual system components, he used catalogues and current offers from the profession, which offers different types of individual parts. He selected products from recognised manufacturers of pool technology who have been operating in the field of water filtration for many years. He adhered to the classic proven implementation with filtration through a sand filter and classic water disinfection with chlorine.

Despite the fact that such a method of implementation is the most common, problems arise in practice, so such a project must be approached in a professional manner. The thesis presents only the basic, simplest example of pool technology without modern, additional components. Such a project can be upgraded with a range of possible elements for additional filtration or devices for destroying bacteria in water.

Implementations with pneumatic valves are possible, which are computer-controlled and are technologically more demanding.

Results

It can be concluded that the design phase is the most important part of the project, as calculations and concrete drawings of the facility situations can facilitate subsequent work on the construction site. The same applies to the selection of standard system components, as the correct selection in the first phase means optimal operation and cost savings. With this, he concluded his project assignment.

That a great deal of knowledge and many years of experience are also required in swimming pool water filtration, he realised at the company where he performed work in this field. At the same time, he found that work in the field of technology and mechanical engineering, viewed through the eyes of a designer and master of such a system, is very interesting, dynamic and full of new challenges.
