The Implications Of Poor Energy Management Cost The Earth


A typical six-lane 25 metre indoor swimming pool will lose the equivalent of a bath full of water in evaporation every two hours. That is the same as an average village pond every week or the entire water content of ten, 25 metre school swimming pools every year.


Just like boiling a kettle, the energy consumption associated with all this evaporation amounts to 44kW every two hours which is extremely bad news for running costs and catastrophic for the planet’s dwindling natural resources.


Commercial pool operators are increasingly turning to


companies like Calorex to recover and reuse the latent energy that evaporates from swimming pool water thanks to their 21st century range of environmental control systems. Simple yet sophisticated, the systems provide intelligent cruise control for pools and provide wet leisure operators the optimum in energy recovery.


These high-tec systems are


Systems like this Calorex HRD environmental control system at the Lee Valley Leisure Pool in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, simultaneously monitor and control air conditioning, water temperature and humidity levels


desi gned to simultaneously monitor and control humidity, air quality and air and water temperatures, all within a self- contained packaged air handling unit. Ideally, swimming pool environmental systems will recover both the latent heat lost by the pool due to evaporation as well as the sensible energy in the pool hall air. Plate recuperators can only return about 70% of the sensible energy to the air in winter, dropping to almost zero when external air temperatures are high. By contrast, Calorex units can return both the sensible and latent energy to either the pool hall air or pool water, all year round. This is just one of many unique features of Calorex, minimising the pool heating


requirement all year round. It is important to remember, the pool water will always demand energy to maintain its temperature regardless of the season, whilst plate recuperators are totally unable to provide any of the water heating requirements.


When using gas boilers for primary heating, Calorex provide savings against fresh air ventilation systems of up to 20% with respective carbon savings of 25%. Using the same scenario but with oil boilers to provide primary heat, the savings are as high as 33% with carbon emission savings of 38%.


All Calorex environmental control systems are purpose built for swimming pool applications. Dedicated swimming pool equipment will always give better service than machines that are simply ‘thrown together’ for the occasional swimming pool application. When units intended for general office use are modified for pools, they are not only far less efficient, but never being designed for pool environments, often give shortened operation life.

Providing The Ideal Sauna Is Now Easier


Designing and achieving the ideal sauna is that bit easier, thanks to the expanded range of modular sauna solutions from Tylö. Available in the UK exclusively through Golden Coast, the Evolve series ensures that, whatever the requirements or space available, there’s a sauna which meets the customer’s needs. With prefabricated wall modules, glazed sections and corner sections in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, a stylish and spacious sauna can be designed to fit any room. The Evolve series has also been developed with ease of installation in mind, so professional installers will have a sauna in place very quickly and householders can even do the job themselves. Customer feedback suggests that building an Evolve sauna is a two-person DIY task that takes about three days and is no more complicated than putting together a piece of self-

As well as choosing the size, shape and style of their sauna, customers can furnish and equip it to their own tastes and needs with accessories from the Golden Coast catalogue. This includes everything from heaters and lighting to sauna stones, buckets, ladles, hourglasses and essential oils. Golden Coast Managing Director Jamie Adams says: “Tylö is a manufacturer whose name is synonymous with reliability, quality and stylish design. Through our partnership we have enjoyed bringing those benefits to UK customers for more than 30 years, and with the latest modular developments we are now in an even better position to make people’s sauna dreams come true.”
