| Abstract |
In this paper, the freezing process of the water supply pipe in the exterior wall of an apartment house was analyzed by numerical method. The thickness of the pipe insulation and the percentage of insulation damage were considered as parameters in this paper. In the cases of the 0%, 8% and 20% damaged of the 5 mm thickness insulation, the freezing was completed after 13 hours, 10 hours and 7 hours respectively. And in cases of the 10 mm thickness insulation, the freezing was completed after 18 hours, 10.5 hours and 8 hours respectively. As a result, it is predicted that the water freezing would occurred when the water supply pipe with 8% or 20% damaged insulation are installed in the exterior wall. However, the water freezing would not occurred when the water supply pipe with 10 mm thickness insulation of 0% damage is installed in the exterior wall. |
