The heat-up time is subject to the rated heating output
available for DHW heating. Subject to the rated boiler
heating output, you can select a smaller Z

Example:
Hotel with 50 rooms (30 double rooms and 20 single rooms)
■ Amenities of the single rooms:
5 single rooms with bath, shower cubicle and washbasin
10 single rooms with shower cubicle and washbasin
5 single rooms with washbasin
■ Amenities of double rooms:
5 double rooms with bath and washbasin
20 double rooms with shower cubicle and washbasin
5 double rooms with washbasin

Calculating the heat demand for DHW heating in commercial saunas

Assumptions:
The sauna is used by 15 people/h.
5 showers with 12 l/min are available, i.e. the showers are utilised
3 times in a row. A showering time of 5 min results in a DHW
demand of 60 l per use.
The heat load of the building is ²
Two points must be observed to safeguard adequate DHW heating:
a) Adequate cylinder capacity (sized according to peak output).
b) The boiler must be large enough to cover the DHW heating and

The boiler and circulation pump for cylinder heating must be sized
accordingly for the required heat up output.
To guarantee adequate heating of the building during winter too, this
heat volume must be added to the heat load.
Regarding a)
Calculating the cylinder capacity:
15 persons @ 60 l = 900 l at 40 °C at the DHW outlet.
The cylinder storage temperature is 60 °C.
As a low temperature boiler is to be installed, the peak output at a
heating water flow temperature of 70 °C must be calculated; see
tables in the datasheets for the relevant DHW cylinders.
Conversion to an outlet temperature of 45 °C results in:
