But, building a swimming pool on the street, you are dependent on the weather whims. If the summer is not very warm, it is unlikely that you can swim in it every day, and even more so do not allow to splash in cold water to children. Great way out - heated. To disassemble how to make a heated pool - the purpose of this article.
How water is heated in the pool
What kind of the pool type you did not organize: if they bought it ready or built from scratch, it is not necessary to do without heating. With water heating system, it is necessary to decide on the stamp of the pool. There are many ways. Water heated using:
- heat exchanger;
- electrical heaters;
- thermal pumps;
- solar panels;
- fuel heaters.
Use of heat exchanger equipment
This equipment works as follows:
- we perform connection to the home heating system, unless for the pool you did not provide for a separate system;
- set the temperature. When water reaches this indicator, the heat exchanger will simply be constantly maintained.
This looks like a typical connection diagram of a two-door heat exchanger:
This option is the most popular and has many advantages:
- used for indoor pools and for those that are built in the yard;
- the ability to connect equipment to the heating of the house;
- relatively economical;
- a large range of heat exchangers for sale.
Important: Before making the purchase of a heat exchanger, calculate its required power, given the surrounding indicators of your pool and where it is located: in the house or in the courtyard. For the outdoor pool, its volume and power of the heat exchanger coincide, and for the internal pool, the power is equal to the three quarters of its volume into the cube. M. Heat exchanger for pools produce many manufacturers. Some models most popular, consider:
PAHLEN HI-FLO (HF) 40 horizontal
We produce this heat exchanger in Sweden. Manufacturer Pahlen. The following characteristics are:
- consumes 40 kW;
- set horizontally;
- dimensions: 13.9x12,945.5x8.5 cm;
- 2-contour;
- connection must implement a specialist.
Work occurs in the following rules:
- the pump pumped into the heat exchanger body water, which carries out circulation in one direction;
- water heating to the temperature you specified, occurs during its contact with the spiral;
- the electromagnetic valve blocks the circulation of water, without allowing its overheating.
On a note: The PAHLEN manufacturer produces heat exchangers and other capacity, both in horizontal and vertical version: range from 13 to 308 kW.
Heat exchanger Behncke QWT 100-20
- produced in Germany;
- consumes 20 kW at 90 and 15 kW at 60 degrees C;
- 2-contour;
- connected to the heating system;
- stainless steel housing;
- heats water in the pool from the central heating network, due to the presence of 2 combined couplings.
Electric heaters for heating pools
Electrical heater is advisable to heat the pool of a small volume. Using it for large pools will entail the pay for huge electricity bills. Here is the scheme of its insert in the system:
Electric heaters release:
- stainless;
- from plastic.
Tanes in electric heaters are made of durable materials:
- titanium;
- of stainless steel.
The electric heater differs from the heat exchanger with the following characteristics:
- mandatory condition for connecting an electric heater is the presence of a flow sensor. If there is no water in the system, the sensor will work and turn off the electric heater. For normal operation, it must be embedded on the straight area, and the locking valves do not have to cut it into contact;
- the presence of an external thermostator is not necessary, because Electric heaters have internal;
- in order not to make an electric heater delivering when the water supply is stopped into the pipeline, it is necessary to maintain a minimum of 50 cm in a water column line.
Behncke EWT 80-70 / 3kW - Electronics Heater
In addition to heat exchangers from Germany, electric heaters for heating water in the pool are supplied. Well showed itself in the work of Behncke EWT 80-70 / 3kW.
Specifications:
- consumes power in 3 kW;
- required voltage - 400 V;
- case material - stainless steel;
- Teni are made of alloy very high quality - Incoloy 825.
Electric heater Elecro Flow Line Titan Plus, from 3 to 18 kW
From the UK, we receive high-quality electric heaters Elecro Flow Line Titan Plus. Peculiarities:
- staffed by a very reliable flow sensor, providing a small consumption - 1 thousand l per hour;
- there is a swivel bracket, with which it can be installed, both horizontally and vertically;
- range of adjustment from 0 to 40 degrees C.
Electric heater for water in the pool, you can make it yourself, using the experience transferred in this video:
Thermal pumps
Water heating for the pool is carried out using heat pumps. They have their advantages:
- for operation, thermal pumps use the energy of the environment. The principle is the same as the refrigerator, only he takes the cold from the ambient air and generates it, and the heat pump is warm;
- relatively small power;
- minimal electricity consumption;
- work from home sockets;
- easily install and occupy little space.
Thermal pump Fairland.
The French company Procopi is engaged in the release of heat pumps for the pools of horizontal and vertical.
Features Fairland pumps:
- due to the quiet rotational compressor, work with minimal vibration;
- there is a digital controller, which allows you to conveniently adjust the temperature;
- at low temperatures, protection is turned on, the system is automatically deflated;
- in the manufacture of the pump used frost-resistant materials;
- recommended for pools with a volume of 20 to 100 cubic m.
Heated outdoor pool using Pioneer series pumps
The Pioneer series thermal pumps that are used to heat the outdoor pool are produced in China. Wherein:
- the manufacturer uses the innovative HP-Booster technology, which makes the pumps very productive. Suffice it to say that at the cost of 1 kW of electricity, it turns out 7 kW of thermal energy;
- the materials used are durable, do not corrosive;
- the electrical part is at the top, which greatly facilitates the service;
- there is a function of automatic defrost;
- operating temperature range 0 ° - 43 ° C.
Solar panels
If the sun shines most of your terrain, then you can warm the water in the pool using solar panels or collectors.
Features of the heating system from solar panels:
- high environmental friendliness;
- when installing a minimum of cash costs;
- additional temperature sensors are not required;
- water heats up during passing through a collector, which is a large flat elements. Consist these elements from polypropylene thin tubes of black.
Installation requires compliance with the following rules:
- the filtration system is a place where the solar heater is placed. Water constantly circulates and gradually warms;
- the battery itself is located on the shore of the pool or on the roof. Turn the receivers of solar energy is needed south or south-west;
- the water temperature is manually adjustable or automatically;
- the larger the pool, the more powerful battery.
If the pool is small, the Solar Pool Heater heater is suitable, they can even put them.
Solar Pool Heater.
This is a small heater. Its dimensions are 580x580x254 mm. This video shows how it is assembled and installed:
Specifications:
- can work with almost any pump;
- increases water temperature by 10-12 degrees C;
- made in China.
Fuel heaters for heating the pool
The economical option is heated pool using fuel heaters. But only for the pool, it is not profitable to arrange such a system, it can drop other objects. Systems with fuel heaters work on:
- oil;
- gas;
- solid fuel.
Just take and install the fuel heater will not work, you will have to run back and:
- get a special permit;
- proceed for documents;
- register;
- take fire measures;
- perform chimney;
- install automation.
After passing all the permits, it is still better to invite a specialist to install the fuel heater - it will be safe. The fuel straight-flow heater is pretty simple:
- it has a coil. It is in it that water is heated when fuel combustion;
- equipped with a heater with a circulation pump, filtration and automation system;
- water heating is controlled by sensors.
You can organize the heated of the pool with your own hands, collecting a simple heater, where firewood will be fuel.
- we perform from thick metal a container that will serve as a firebox;
- in the firebox we put a serpentine;
- in the middle put firewood and set on fire. All as in the photo at the top.
As you see the preheating options for a street basin, the main thing is to make a good choice and life will play with new paints, like this video:
