Heat pumps are by no means a strange invention. Similar in operation to a refrigerator, they absorb energy in the form of heat and moisture from outside air, upgrading this energy to a usable form of heat through the unique ability of their refrigeration circuit.
Heat Pump Efficiency
The diagram below illustrates the way in which a heat pump absorbs, upgrades and transfers heat from outside air to swimming pool water.
A conventional pool heating unit would only put like for like - so 10Kw of energy in your pool would be 10Kw. Consumption
A heat pump could give up to eight extra units for only two paid for units
This is without doubt the next most economical and convinient method to heat a swimming p pool after Solar Heating with relatively easy Installation and lower initial outlay.
With an almost guaranteed source of reliable heat when you want it with the ability to
operate even on cloudy days in all seasons – subject to ambient air temperature > 5 deg.C.
Swimming Pool Heat Pumps
Heating your swimming pool with a heat pump could not be more straightforward and economic. At a
cost that won't spoil the enjoyment you, not the weather will be in control, ensuring your pool will always be at just the right temperature even when the sun isn't shining.
Heat pumps can provide up to five units of energy to the pool for everyone unit paid for.
Heat pumps require no complicated gas supply oil tanks or flues.
Heat pumps will operate from small capacity electrical supplies.
Heat pumps are easy to install, quiet in operation and as a result of their design, inherently reliable.
Heat pumps are fully automatic - all you have to do is set the thermostat to your required pool temperature.
Swimming pool heating
Heat pumps extract free energy from outside air over a variety of temperatures from 5°C to 40°C. This energy is harnessed by the heat pump for water heating, units incorporating suitable heat exchangers. Since only a small amount of electrical energy is required, heating output can be up to 5 times electrical input i.e.
Up to 500% efficiency. No boiler or electric heater can exceed 100%.
A pool heater is a long-term investment to help you maximize your investment and extend the enjoyment of your pool.
The heat pump pool heater choice is becoming very popular because it offers many important features and significant operating cost savings versus other pool heaters.
Lowest operating cost
Heat pump pool heaters are economical to operate.
They only require energy to operate a fan motor and a compressor, using low amperage in the process. They are the most energy efficient pool heaters on the market; 2 to 4 times better than gas and 4 times better than electricity.
Operating a heat pump could help you save up to 80% over propane gas, 50% over natural gas and over 400% over an electrical heater.
Easy to operate
In automatic mode simply program your thermostat to your desired pool water temperature and let the heat pump do the rest.
- It will defrost automatically when needed.
- It will automatically stop when the desired water temperature is reached, or if the water flow is cut.
- It will resist virtually all weather conditions.
Built to last
Selection of durable components, the use of a better weather resistant protective coating and extra
sturdy ABS cabinets are some of the new elements, which permit a heat pump pool heater to better resist the most difficult weather conditions.
New protection technology
- New Titanium Pool-Safe heat exchanger, designed by Turbotec – Manufacturing heat transfer systems for over 35 years in Connecticut. USA (http://www.turbotecproducts.com) to be the most resistant and robust on the market.
- High quality and reliable scroll compressor
- Special rustproof cabinet material selected to extend durability.
In addition, heat pump pool heaters maintain their efficiency throughout their life expectancy, nearly twice (up to 20 years) that of a fossil fuel heater
Safe and secure
A heat pump pool heater uses safe and clean electric energy. The cabinets are designed to protect against intrusion. All heat pump pool heaters are environmentally safe, using clean energy and using no fuel.
Easy maintenance
The user just needs to clean the evaporator periodically using water from the garden hose equipped with a nozzle.
Easy winterizing (In areas where frost is common *) by evacuating water with an air blower and filling the heat exchanger with the appropriate anti-freeze.
* Low temperature model available
HEAT EXCHANGER
Pool-Safe heat exchangers are designed specifically for swimming pool heatpumps. These heat exchangers are built with high performance Titanium for the inner tube and a high quality plastic for the jacket, which will withstand the effects of chlorides and other chemicals found in pool water.
The high natural resistance of both chemicals makes this the ideal heat exchanger for any pool or Spa application
.
Sol Liquid is the only heat pump manufacturer that offers all their heat pump models equipped in titanium, allowing for a greater performance and reliability for their clients.
