HeatPumps APR 2012 SPN

“Unlike a fuel boiler, a heat pump will
have limited surplus heating capacity so installers should
never be tempted to undersize a heat
pump model to be more price
Hydro Pro+ –
quality engineering and personal service from Bosta UK
“However, if the heat pump is equipped with a de-icing facility, then it will be able to clear the ice and heating can continue.
“All heat pumps produce noise from the need to pass a large quantity of fresh air through their heat collection matrix. The noise levels between different brands of heat pumps, processing a similar amount of fresh air, are unlikely to vary greatly, regardless of what may be claimed.
“Be wary of the noise data ‘tricks’ used in heat pump promotional literature – the distance away from the heat pump at which the noise reading is taken is critical – it is possible to halve the noise figure simply by doubling the distance!”
Heatstar’s new Aquarius is a self contained pool water heating system, utilising free renewable energy from fresh air. They offer the highest possible efficiency, super low noise fan and a digital controller. The ‘Plus’ models feature integral electric heater for early / late season pool water temperature boost. The pumps now carry a 20 year titanium heat exchanger and aluminium chassis guarantee.
The Aquarius is available in two de-frost versions – a summer defrost for normal summer use – typically May to September and winter defrost for all year use.
BOSTA RANGE ‘HAS THE SOLUTION’ FOR EVERY DOMESTIC APPLICATION The term swimming pool describes anything from a £3,000 above-ground pool to £100,000 hydraulic floored film set like facility, and so it is with heat pumps where there is a different specification to suit different customer’s needs,” says Conrad Bos, Managing Director of Bosta UK. “Problems occur when the wrong product is sold for the wrong pool – something all good
pool builders know to avoid. There is no
magic about heat pumps; they can be as simple and as reliable as everyone’s fridge freezer, just working in reverse.
“Performance claims such as the co-effient of performance (COP) are not the best selection criteria since there is no recognised standard of measure. Quality of engineering and manufacture together with individual feature specifications are more important.
“Just like your fridge freezer, after selecting the size you need the most important criteria is the quality of the engineering and manufacturing. The highest sales price is not always the highest quality or quality control.”
With its complete heat pump range Bosta provides quality engineering, and personal service. The choices from 3kW to 30 kW, between mechanical and electronic control, R407c gas or
competitive”
R410a with or without automatic defrost all come from the best manufacturing plants, where every stage of the engineering and the production of every unit is fully tested.
FAIRLOCKS ARE PROUD OF NEW FRONTIER IN PUMP TECHNOLOGY Fairlocks Pool Products say that in Heatinverter Plus they can provide customers with the quietest and most efficient system on the market. The maximum COP can be achieved under different ambient temperatures. 1kW input of electricity provides a heating output of up to 7kW. With a newly designed air-flow system, low speed motor and quiet running compressor, combined with new out-facing digital control system, Heatinverter Plus is the heat pump of the moment... and the future.
