The laboratory of plumbing (PL100) represents a practical training on plumbing installations. The laboratory consisting of three simulation models for plumbing systems , a model of plumbing infrastructure installations of a small city , residential buildings simulation model & services area model.
The First Model represents a small city supplying and drainage systems. This model consists of real components such as tanks, pumps, pipes network and valves.
The Second Model represents a plumbing system for residential buildings which includes both supplying and sewage systems for residential buildings. This model contains components such as tanks, pumps, pipes network, valves and four laboratory scale residential buildings.
The Third Model features residential or commercial services area which consists of a complete plumbing & sanitary system (kitchens and bathrooms). Components of this model are in real size with a control unit that allows identifying faults to practice troubleshooting of the system.
- The plumbing laboratory comprises three different sections, an infrastructure model of a city plumbing system, a model of a plumbing system for residential buildings and a model of a plumbing system of public services or residential area.
- The infrastructure model of the city plumbing system is a model that works efficiently and represents the infrastructure for a supplying and draining system of a city and it includes real components such as tanks, pumps, pipes network, valves.
- The city model contains a large plastic tank represents the water source whether it is a direct natural source such as rivers or comes indirectly from basic water lifting station. There is also stainless-steel tank representing a water tower provided with lower bypass pipes and valves to control the water. Also, another stainless-steel tank is added to represent a sewage treatment station.
- An electric pump acts as a water lifting substation for the city and supplying and discharging pipes networks connected to the second section which represent the plumbing system for residential buildings.
- The plumbing model for residential buildings contains tanks, pumps, plumping pipes network and four mini models for residential buildings.
- A reinforced glass platform acts as a ground floor, this platform is transparent to allow inspecting the water underground infrastructure system which connected to the buildings.
- The residential buildings model features four buildings each consists of three floors, the buildings differ in their supplying systems connections and are similar in their sewage system. Appears a view room for the sewage system in front of each building through transparent platform.
- The first building is supplied with water directly from the main source. The second building is supplied using a small pump from the main source. The third building is supplied from a small pump in addition to a stainless – steel tank on the rooftop of the building. The forth one is supplied directly from the main source and has a stainless –steel tank on its rooftop.
- The buildings are provided with pumps switches (in case the buildings were provided with pumps) and there is a pressure gauge for each floor and flow control valve for each floor to control the water flow through the same floor and back to the sewage pipes system.
- The third section is a plumbing system for the public or residential services areas which features the plumbing system and the equipment for the public or residential services areas such as bathroom and kitchens.
- The third section is divided into four sections to featuring one kitchen and three bathrooms on a steel platform and reinforced glass to allow inspecting the underground plumbing system.
- The section includes a real kitchen and three real bathrooms that contain a drain of stainless – steel, an electric washing machine, two water heaters, various taps, sewage drains, a bathtub drain, a shower, washbasins, urinals, squatting toilet, WC and a bathtub.
- The model of the residential or public services areas allows inspecting the special installations of the different equipment for the kitchen and the bathrooms and to observe the plumbing system and how it works through the transparent pipes.
- A control unit simulates the faults of the plumbing system of the residential or public services areas using switches on the control unit to practice troubleshooting of the plumbing system.
- The infrastructure simulator unit of main water supplying and sewage networks. It consists of fiberglass tank, two stainless tanks, two pumps and water pipes.
A-Stainless Tank
- When water is turned on at a fixture in the building it pushes water out of the water tank and into the building water supply piping and this water is sent on to the building plumbing fixtures.
- If many fixtures are being run at once in the building, or if the water flow rate produced by the pump and piping and controls is a modest one, the pump may run continuously all while the fixture is being operated. More typically, if only one fixture is running and if the pump and well can deliver a high-water flow rate, the pump may come on and off several times while the fixture is being run.
B-Fiberglass Tank
- It represents the main source of water feeding the system. It Provides a training on how water is being transferred to the tank and how is it consumed and delivered to the plumping system. It’s a well-structured tank heavy-duty design to provide training on the highest rate water consumption.
C.Inspection Chamber
- Inspection Chamber system is designed to provide access into sewer systems for inspection, cleaning and sampling. Inspection Chamber Systems allow to carry out all maintenance work from the ground level
- Provides a training on the function of inspection chambers and how it’s being installed and the best place for installing.
- The structure of the inspection chamber is hard-made to provides the most out of the training and maintenance.
D.Water Pump
- The water pump is used to deliver the water to high buildings or water tanks.
- It’s also used when the water pressure is low to store water in tanks.
- Provides a training on how the water pump works, its function and the best place way to use it.
- A simulator unit for a residential area with its infrastructure and different supplying and draining models. It consists of a platform, four steel residential buildings, two water pumps, two stainless-steel tanks, pressure gauges, valves and four inspection plastic chambers.
- The Residential buildings water feeding simulator is providing a training on how to install, maintain and fix plumping systems on real buildings.
- It is provided by the most recent technologies of plumping systems.
- Pipes, valves and all components related are available to get the most out of this training.
- This simulator is a four-buildings simulator with different characteristics for every building:
- Changing pipe diameter while uprising to increase the pressure.
