How a Heat Pump Works
Hayward Heat Pumps take heat from the environment and use it to heat your pool
water. During heat pump operation, liquid freon from inside the unit is pumped
through the system (A) and is turned into a heated gas. This happens when heat is
taken from the surrounding air (B) as it is drawn through the evaporator by the fan.
The compressor (C) receives this warmer gas and compresses it to a higher
pressure, resulting in the freon reaching even higher temperatures. As the unit
sends the heated gas through the heat exchanger, the gas gives up its heat to the
surrounding water (D). The freon reverts to a liquid state as it gives up the heat to
the pool water, which completes the cycle (A). The water (F), which is being
forced through the heat exchanger (D) by your pool pump, is heated by three to
five degrees as it passes through and returned to your pool as heated water. (G)
This process can also be reversed to
remove heat from pool water.
A heat pump can transform 4 to 6 units of heat energy (BTU’s) for every 1
equivalent unit of electrical energy it consumes. This results in a coefficient of
performance between 4 and 6. The specific performance coefficient depends on
your heater model, ambient air temperature and climatic conditions, as well as
incoming pool water temperatures.
