Functional mapzones
The elements of drinking water network establish hierarchy and also work between each other. That can give many opportunities to the organization from a functional and system analysis point of view.
- Storage tanks. Modifies the residence time of the water in the system.
- Supply and storage tanks. Establishes a pressure or primary supply level for one or more customer sectors and modifies its residence time of water in the system.
- Queue tanks. Establishes a secondary supply level for a sector of customers and modifies the residence time of the network water.
- Supply and queue tanks. Queue tanks, establishes primary and secondary supply level at the same time for two or more customer sectors and modifies the residence time of water in the network.
- Flow meters and network meters. Determines the differential flow in the first case and integral flow in the second case, by a specific synchrony.
- Pressure reducing, sustaining and breaker valves. Modifies the pressure and supply level downwards. It is generally associated with customer sectors but not exclusively.
- Pressure group. Modifies upwards the pressure and supply level to a sector of clients. It has a small storage (pilot whale) that usually should not be considered, since the storage time is usually lower than the measurement frequency of the flow meters.
- Pump station. Water transfer between two storage points with increase of elevation.
- Quality elements. Quality variation of network, like chlorinator.
- Unique clients. Customers with a very high or unique consumption in their behavior. They should be treated as specific nodes.
As a result, five diferent types of zonifications are avaliable. When system works, in case of insert a new feature, it's necessary to know how the default values of mapzones are managed in order to propose the correct value on dialog after clicking on the map and before inserting data into the system.
On the other hand, the Mapzones algorithm can be executed after completing the configuration process. Amazing functionalities. Check it!!!
#Enjoy it!!!
