downfeed systems (water distribution systems, plumbing systems, ... Object Groupings and Systems (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Water distribution systems in which water is pumped to holding tanks above the points of use, thereby increasing water pressure through gravity; most often employed in tall buildings where municipal water supply lacks the pressure necessary for an upfeed system. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 將水打至高於使用處的水塔,利用地心吸引力增加水壓的配水系統;通常在市政系統無法提供上給式配水所需水壓的高樓使用。 |
Dutch ..... Waterdistributiesystemen waarbij water in draagtanks wordt gepompt die hoger zijn geplaatst dan de plaats van gebruik, waardoor de waterdruk door de zwaartekracht wordt verhoogd; wordt meestal gebruikt in hoge gebouwen waar de gemeentelijke watervoorziening niet de druk heeft die nodig is voor 'upfeed systems '. |
Spanish ..... Sistema de alimentación de agua en que ésta es bombeada a tanques de mantención sobre los puntos de uso, consecuentemente la presión de agua aumenta a través de la gravedad; frecuentemente empleada en edificios altos donde el suministro de agua municipal carece de presión necesaria para un sistema ascendente. |
