Calorex Heat Pumps

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.  Heating your swimming pool with a Calorex 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 are a very efficient way to heat your swimming pool, heat pumps can provide up to five times in relation to the amount of energy they consume.

Swimming Pool Heating

Heat pumps extract free energy from outside air over a variety of temperatures from -15°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. 500% efficiency. No boiler or electric heater can exceed 100%.

Why a Calorex Heat Pump?

Calorex is the world's leading manufacturer of swimming pool heat pumps and is renowned for it's innovation, range and quality of products. A proud claim, backed by over twenty five years of design, manufacturing and operational experience with thousands of units operating in hundreds of countries worldwide.

Calorex Heat Pump Efficiency

By careful design Calorex Heat Pumps are capable of providing your pool with up to five units of absorbed heat for every one unit paid for. Even on a cloudy cold day when the temperature may only be 10°C, they will give three units for every one consumed.
 

The diagram to the left illustrates the way in which a heat pump absorbs, upgrades and transfers heat from outside air to swimming pool water.  All Calorex heat pumps contain a fully sealed non-CFC refrigeration circuit which is specifically designed to operate as a swimming pool heat pump. This means that all components used in their construction are designed to give maximum efficiency at typical swimming pool temperatures. Furthermore, the choice of material and construction will give years of trouble free service.

Calorex Compac AW6CP Swimming Pool Heat Pump

How does it work?

Heat is transferred to the pool water from the ambient air using a vapour compress or cycle similar to that
found in a refrigerator.

Features:

•Extracts heat from the air and
uses it to heat pool water
•Forevery1Kwofenergyused,
approximately 4kW of energy is generated*
•2 years warranty
•UK support and backup
•Titanium heat exchanger

Clean and environmentally friendly The low energy consumption coupled with high heat production makes a Compac heat pump an environmentally friendly way to heat your swimming pool. Unlike alternative ways of heating your pool, the Compac requires no fuel storage tank or high capacity electrical supply and produces no smells, fumes or CO2 gases.

Easy installation

Your Compac heat pump should be installed outdoors, allowing adequate airflow to the unit. It should be installed up stream of any pool purification systems and chemical dosing systems. Care should be taken not to add chemicals directly to the skimmer which would result in concentrated chemical solutions passing directly through the Compac, and water quality should be maintained with in recommended standards to maintain the guarantee.
 

Low pool heating bills

You pay only for the cost of electricity to run the motor
inside – the heat that is absorbed from the air is free,
making a Compac heat pump efficient and cost
effective.

Solar covers prevent heat loss from your swimming and can also assist with heating your pool using sunlight.  As much of 70% of heat lost from you swimming pool is through evaporation, a solar cover acts as a water vapour barrier, stopping evaporation therefore dramatically reducing heat loss.  When using a solar cover with a heat pump, the solar cover will reduce your heating costs.
