HEAT PUMPS
power flow continuously (which can add 15% – 20% efficiency when compared to conventional technology).
Generally, a fresh air source swimming pool heat pump, like the Heatstar Aquarius, will prove less expensive to operate, during a typical summer season, than any fossil fuel alternative method
10x5m, operated from May to September, equipped
with a surface cover, based upon current energy costs, the savings achieved by a swimming pool heat pump per season may be in the region of £124 compared to mains gas, £958 compared to heating oil, £1,529 compared to Propane gas and £2,666 compared to direct electricity!
The Heatstar Aquarius has unashamedly been designed and constructed to be the best swimming pool heat pump product on the market and is still only manufactured in the UK using the highest quality European components. The Aquarius is a dedicated swimming pool heat pump design and not a modified air conditioning unit. For a client looking to make a risk-free investment in a product of known quality with proven heritage and genuine after-sales support, which will provide many years of dependable service, then the Heatstar Aquarius is hard to beat.
HEATINVERTER TECHNOLOGY PLUS QUIETLY AND EFFICIENTLY DELIVERS
Fairlocks Pool Products say that in
Heatinverter Plus they can provide customers with the quietest and most efficient system on the market. The maximum C.O.P. can be achieved under different ambient
temperatures. One kilowatt 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.
With new and
improved inverter technology, the heat pump very cleverly has the ability to regulate its own thermal
76 April 2014 SPN
A traditional heat pump either works at maximum capability or is switched off as the compressor’s speed cannot be varied. In order to regulate temperature a thermostat is used to measure the ambient air temperature and switch the compressor on when the water temperature is too far from the required temperature. The Heatinverter uses a rectifier to convert the incoming AC current to DC and then uses pulse-width modulation of the DC current within an inverter (electrical) to produce AC current of a desired frequency. As the speed of a brushless motor is synchronised to the frequency of the AC current it is thus possible for the Heatinverter compressor to be run at different speeds. A microcontroller then samples the ambient air temperature and adjusts the speed of the compressor appropriately. The effect of eliminating stop-start cycles is to increase efficiency, extend the life of components, and eliminate sharp fluctuations in the load the heat pump places on the power supply. This reduces the demand on the compressor which in turn reduces the running cost and improves efficiency. The strong aluminum alloy frame is encased in durable plastic to ensure strength and rust free operation. Within the case is a high quality titanium heat exchanger that is compatible with salt electrolysis and the silver welding piping guarantees reliability and prevents gas leakage. Engineers will be pleased to note that the electrical system is located on the top side to allow for easy access when servicing.
Super quiet and super efficient, the Heatinverter Plus promises smoothness of operation with extended life expectancy.
Waterco’s Aquaflow heat pump offers significant savings in energy consumption whilst not compromising on performance.
NORTH AMERICAN QUALITY FROM WATERCO Waterco has been developing and using heat pump technology for many years through its production facilities in North America, establishing an impressive range of products suited to all manner of climates and conditions. The superior quality in both fabrication and selection of components have ensured that Waterco’s heat pump units are amongst the most reliable and efficient available, with features such as titanium double coil heat exchangers and Scroll compressors as standard. Originally developed to be effective and reliable in the harsh Canadian conditions, models such as the ElectroHeat Plus, Aquaflow and the ElectroHeat Pro offer significant savings in energy consumption whilst not compromising on performance.
Domestic units as small as 12kW and commercial units as large as 96kW are available through Waterco’s exclusive UK distributor Paramount Pools. New for 2014 is the ElectroHeat Ultra 31kW single phase unit. An impressively versatile development, the Ultra operates in temperatures as low as 0°C as well as offering features such as temperature management, environmentally friendly R410 refrigerant and self diagnosis which are standard throughout the range.
A WIDE RANGE OF CHOICES FROM SCP
Garden Pac range of heat pumps from SCP has evolved for 2014 and now includes an ABS cabinet, making it even more durable in outdoor conditions. Furthermore all Garden Pac Heat Pumps are supplied with a Winter Covers as standard. The Garden Pac heat pumps have been extremely well received by the trade for their ease of installation and quiet and efficient operation. With titanium heat exchangers as standard, plus a soft start on the GP06, the specification and price points across the entire range make them a really good heat pump proposition. In addition to the Garden Pac range, SCP also supply Pentair’s UltraTemp-E heat pump. The product has earned the ‘Eco Select’
Domestic units as small as 12kW and commercial units as large as 96kW are available through Waterco’s exclusive UK distributor Paramount Pools.
