Jacuzzi Calculation Sheet

The design of Jacuzzi is same as the design of swimming pool but with small change
in it there is Air Blower, Domestic Booster Pump , Skimmer, Jet Nozzle

Surface Area of Jacuzzi = 11 m2

Jacuzzi Average Depth = 0.9 m
Got Jacuzzi Volume = 9.9 m3

1- Calculation for Drain outlet, Skimmer, Wall inlets, Pipes , Filter,

& Filtration or Circulation pumps

Turn Over Period = 0.3 Time / Day

Jacuzzi Filtration Pump Capacity = Pool Volume / ( Turn Over Period * 60 )
= 0.55 m3/min

No. Of pump will used = 1 Pump

No. Of standby pumps = 1 Pump

Get pump flow rate = 0.55 m3/min

According to Egyptian code for Swimming Pool 1 Skimmer for each 46.5 m2 from
Surface Water for Swimming Pool
Got No. of Skimmer = 1 Unit

Assuming 50% of water suck from skimmer & 50% will suck from floor drains outlet
Got Flow Rate will discharge in pipes = 0.275 m3/min

Suction pipe maximum velocity will be 1.2 m/s from skimmer & drain outlet
Pump flow rate = 16.5 m3/hr
No. Of outlet = 2 Outlet
Each outlet give flow rate = 8.25 m3/hr

Dia 1 = 48.82878 Taking it = 50 mm.

Dia 2 = 69.05433 Taking it = 65 mm.
Dia 3 = 84.57393 Taking it = 75 mm.
Dia 4 = 97.65756 Taking it = 100 mm.

NOTE :-
No. of pipe will be taken according to No. of outlet for 2 outlet in series take to Dia 2
Supply pipe maximum velocity will be 2 m/s
Pump flow rate = 16.5 m3/hr
No. Of inlets = 1 Inlets
Each Inlet give flow rate = 16.5 m3/hr

Dia 1 = 54 Taking it = 50 mm.

Dia 2 = 76.4 Taking it = 75 mm.
Dia 3 = 93.6 Taking it = 100 mm.
Dia 4 = 108 Taking it = 100 mm.
Dia 5 = 120.8 Taking it = 100 mm.

Getting the filter area to be used

Pump flow rate = 33 m3/hr
Filter area = 0.9 m2 at 15 Gpm / ft2
Assume we have to use a filter with diameter = 50 cm
No. of filter required = 2 Filter

Heating Calculation for Swimming Pools

Heater is required for heating purposes at winter seasons if required take inconsideration that
it's not particle to heat the pool without covers at coldest winter months
For calculation purposes the following conditions to be considered:-
The recommended Pool water temperature is around 28 º C deg.
Outdoor air condition : 46 / 30 deg º C DB/WB –summer condition, max 122deg F (50 C)
: 6/ 10 deg º C BD/WB -winter condition
From SPATA p5, Sec3, the Average Daily heat loss (DH) in KWhr / m2 of pool surface area

Correction Value Will be Changed According to type of Swimming Pool And it`s Location

Jacuzzi Type and Location High Water Table

correction value to be used in = 1.25
Hours per day available for heating 24 hours
No. of hours per day available for heating = 24 hours

= Heater required Pool Volume * 1000 * ( Tc2 - Tc1) / ( 860 * Available Heating Hour)
= 9.9 * 1000 * ( 28 - 10 ) / 860 * 24
= 10.8 Kw

Cooling Calculation for Swimming Pools

For cooling purpose in summer seasons chilled water is required to cooling the water
temperature in summer to recommended temperatures
The recommended Pool water temperature is around 28 deg º C
Outdoor air condition : 46 / 30 deg º C DB/ WB - summer condition , Max 122 deg º F
: 10 / 06 deg º C DB/ WB - winter condition
During summer time the outdoor air temperature will be around 45 deg º C and hence the
water temperature will be the same
So to estimate the cooling load required for the chiller to reduce water temperature to
28 deg º C will be two part as following

hours per day available for cooling 72 hours

No. of hours per day available = 72 hours

The first part is the cooling load required to reduce the water temperature
to 28 deg º C as following

Q1 = V * Cp * P * (d T ) / Time Required for cooling

where :-
V= volume of pool
Cp = specific heat of water 4.18 (KJ/Kg.C)
P = specific heat of water = 1 Kg/L
d T = temperature difference

Q1 =9.9 * 4.186 * 1000 * ( 40 - 28 ) / ( 3600 * 72 )

= 1.9 Kw
The second part is the cooling load required to over come the heat lose from the water
surfaces of swimming pool

Q2 = CF *DH * Pool surface area / Time Required for cooling

where :-
CF= Correction Factor
DH = average daily loss from swimming pool surface

from SPATA tables there is no information about heat loss from pool areas the gulf area
condition the available data only at 15deg º C out door temp which is = 3.48 KWhr/m 2
Assuming linearity condition the excepted heat loss at 45deg º C =
(45/15) x 3.48 = 10.44 KWhr/m2

Q2 =1.25 * 11 * 10.44 / 72
= 2 Kw

So the Total Ciller Capacity will be = Q1 + Q2

= 1.9 + 2
= 3.9 Kw
= 13318.5 Btu/hr
= 1.1 TR
