How does it Work?
The Alto Water Heat Pump
is a super efficient way to heat the swimming pool. It makes full use of
the advanced refrigeration technology to capture the heat in the outside
air and transfer it to the pool water.
Environmental refrigerant
gas absorbs and transfers the great heat energy through the refrigeration
circulation system. The fan circulates air through the outer Evaporator
Air Coil that acts as a heat collector. The liquid refrigerant in the air
coil absorbs the available heat in the air transforming it to a gas. The
refrigerant gas is then pumped by the Compressor. When this warmed gas is
compressed, it intensifies or concentrates the heat. This intensely hot
gas is then pumped into the Heat Exchanger Condenser where the actual heat
exchange takes place. As the pool water passes through the Heat Exchanger,
the hot gas gives up its heat to the cooler pool water. The refrigerant
returns to a liquid state and is pumped through the Expansion Valve and
then into the Evaporator Air Coil to start the process over again.
An Alto Water heat pump
does not generate heat, it simply captures it and moves it from air to
water thus, providing ant efficient and environmentally friendly system
for heating your swimming pool!
Titanium Exchanger?
The Titanium heat
exchanger has a life expectancy which is much longer ( up to three times)
than the standard copper exchanger (15 years). The Titanium exchanger is
specifically designed for the customers who want additional protection
from Chlorine, Bromine and all other common pool chemicals. The chemicals
in pool water, including chlorine, bromine and muriatic acid, can be
extremely corrosive. Especially when pools are shocked and very high
levels of chlorine exist, if the owner lets the pool chemistry get out of
balance or if chlorine tablets are put in the skimmer. In the case of heat
pumps, if a water heat exchanger gets a hole in it (usually due to
corrosion) and pool water enters the sealed refrigeration system, the
entire heat pump is ruined.
The Titanium Alto Water
Heat Pump virtually eliminates all the chemical corrosion. The Titanium
exchanger is bullet-proof to chlorine, bromine and all other common pool
chemicals. It will guarantee the heat pump to operate well for many years
and avoid creating expensive repairs and lengthy shutdown of the heater.
Without question, having a Titanium heat exchanger is beneficial due to
the life expectancy but please bear in mind that a the standard exchanger
still has a life expectancy of 15 years!
Why choose a Heat Pump?
Simply because it’s
inexpensive - to buy - to run - to install. Realistically, in this
country, all swimming pools whether above or inground, need heating to
obtain the maximum use from the summer season. Having a pool in your
garden may be aesthetically pleasing to the eye but unless the pool feels
warm and inviting, the pool will not be used to its full potential. By
investing in a Alto Heat Pump, this can change!
Generally, the main
heating systems available for swimming pools are Gas (LPG or Propane),
Electric or Oil heaters. Some of these heaters can be beneficial from a
cost point of view but tend to loose their appeal when it comes to
installation costs. What the other heating systems cannot offer you is
both the heat efficiency and low running cost!
The chart below shows
exactly what percentage of your £1 will be used to produce heat in your
pool.
How efficient is an Alto
Water Heat Pump?
Heat pumps don't have a
simple efficiency number to work with. Their efficiency is measured by
Coefficient of Performance (COP). Alto Water Heat Pump’s COP ranges from
4.2-4.4, which means that for every unit of electricity that you put in to
run the compressor, you get 4.2-4.4 units of heat out of the heat pump.
Alto Water Heat Pumps can radically improve the energy efficiency and
environmental value of any heating system that is driven by primary energy
resources such as fuel or power.
