WARNING
A swimming pool & spa heat pump utilizes proven refrigerant technology to capture the heat in the
outside air and transfers it to the pool water. Refrigerant is used because of its ability to absorb and
transfer heat energy. 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 ambient air, transforming it into a
gas. The refrigerant gas is then
pumped into the
compressor
.
When this warmed gas is com-
pressed, it intensifies or concen-
trates the heat, like a magnifying
glass in the sun.
This intensely hot gas is then
pumped into the
heat ex-
changer condenser
, where the
actual heat transfer takes place.
As the pool water passes
through the heat exchanger, the
hot gas gives up its heat to the cooler pool wa-
ter. The refrigerant returns to a liquid state and
is pumped through the
expansion valve
then
into the evaporator air coil to start the process all
over again.
How A Heat Pump Works
How Efficient Is It ?
This graph is a operational cost comparison for equal
amounts of pool heat. As you can see heat pump is
the most efficient way to heat your pool.
Compared to L.P. gas heaters, a heat pump produces
5 to 6 times more heat for every $1.00 you spend
on operation.
