Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a new sewage bay that has removed its previous problems and verify the excellence of the maintainability of the new sewage bay. Method: The fluid characteristics in the developed sewage bay was analysed with computer simulation tool(COMSOL MultiphysicsTM ver. 3.2 ; COMSOL) and clarified the problems of the existing sewage bay. In addition, the durability of the newly developed sewage bay was verified by the long-term usability testing. Results: As a result of the simulation of a blocked drainage trap, an whirlpool and blockage did not occurred at the flow rate of 0.6m/sec, and we verified that switch device of drain trap was in good condition durably with 6 months long-term usability test. Conclusion: In this study, a newly advanced sewage bay was developed that solved the problems of the existing sewage bay structure. With the fluid simulation and the long-term usability tests, the excellence of the maintenance ability of the newly developed sewage bay was proved.

This study clarifies the simulation on freezing of remaining water in the Z-trap set up in the PVC sewage bay to control malodor. It made use of commercial FEM LAB program(ver. 3.2) well known as a solution of the problems arising in the flow of various fluid, heat transfer and mass transfer. Simulation results under the temperature $-20^{\circ}C$ outwards show that the water in the Z-trap set up in the sewage bay to control malodor freeze in the 60cm under the ground level after 14 days in the wet ground, and after 17 days in the regular ground. On the other hand, if the soil is dry even after the 42 days does not go down below freezing. Therefore, the water in the Z-trap was confirmed that it does not freeze.
