Heat pumps are a super efficient way to heat the swimming pool. It makes full use of the advanced refrigeration technology to capture the heat in the outside air and transfer it to the pool water.
Environmental refrigerant gas absorbs and transfers the heat energy through the refrigeration circulation system. 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 air transforming it to a gas. The refrigerant gas is then pumped by the Compressor. When this warmed gas is compressed, it intensifies or concentrates the heat. This intensely hot gas is then pumped into the Heat Exchanger Condenser where the actual heat exchange takes place. As the pool water passes through the Heat Exchanger, the hot gas gives up its heat to the cooler pool water. The refrigerant returns to a liquid state and is pumped through the Expansion Valve and then into the Evaporator Air Coil to start the process over again.
A heat pump does not generate heat, it simply captures it and moves it from air to water thus, providing an efficient an environmentally friendly system for heating your swimming pool!
