High Efficiency Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

The efficiency which is talked about in relation to pool heat pumps is also called Coefficient Of Performance or COP. This gives a relation between the amount of energy used to the amount of energy produced.  a common electric immersion heater (such as in a kettle) is around 90% efficient so would have a COP close to 1 but heat pumps can be rated with a COP of 5 which means an efficiency of 500%. This is because heat pump don't actually create heat (like an immersion heater does) they just move it from one place to another.

This is something the planned purchaser must know about on the grounds that heat pump have a downside. Electric heat pumps take heat from the air and move it to the pool water so as the air temperature drops so does their productivity. Indeed, when the air temperature hits around the 45 degrees F mark, they quit working and can even hold up! 

When contrasting various brands for proficiency it is imperative to ensure the COP is determined under similar conditions for each pump.

How Does A Heat Pump Work?

If you have a refrigerator  you already have a heat pump.  Truth be told a vehicle radiator is a heat pump. In fundamental terms, you are utilizing a fluid or gas to get heat at one point at that point heating pump it to a radiator (or heat exchanger) and discharging it. A cooler is moving heat from inside the container and siphoning it to a radiator fresh where it goes into the air - that is the reason there is heat around the outside of your refrigerator. 

So a swimming pool heat pump will take heat from the encompassing air and move it by means of refrigerant gas and a blower to a heat exchanger discharging the heat into the pool water streaming around it. The cooled gas goes on through channeling back to where it began and gets more heat, etc. This is additionally called a "shut circle" in light of the fact that the gas continues going around it.

Should I Purchase A Heat Pump?

This is a progressively troublesome inquiry to reply. There are purposes behind utilizing heat pump and there are explanations behind choosing a gas or sunlight based radiator. The primary inquiry you have to pose is will you need to heat your pool water when the air temperature dips under the 45 to 50 degrees F mark? In the event that in this way, at that point overlook it - your most solid option is presumably a gas warmer. Will a sun oriented pool heater broaden your swimming season enough? In the event that you have the space, a nearby planetary group might be best despite the fact that it could cost more to buy at first.

A heat pump will warm your pool water on request so you don't need to stress over cloudy climate as you do with a nearby planetary group. Generally you would set the necessary water temperature and the heat pump will run varying to keep to that temperature. They can be utilized to warm a pool from cold in the event that you just need to utilize the pool infrequently however gas radiators are better at this.
