Do you own a swimming pool? If yes, then you might be well aware of the significance of a solar pool heat exchanger. But a flat plate solar heat exchanger is not right for the pool with the added chlorine and bromine. This is where a special high-flow pool heat exchanger comes in handy. This heat exchanger can be able to handle the higher secondary side flow and a higher level of chlorine.
It has better flow characteristics, making it ideal for heating your pool and hot tub. However, it’s highly recommended to invest in a titanium solar pool heat exchanger for applications that include using saltwater. This heat exchanger is highly resistant to chlorine and saltwater.
Why do you Invest in a Solar Pool Heat Exchanger?
Both SP-155K and SP-300K heat exchangers are specifically designed to operate at a higher secondary side fluid velocity with low-pressure drops. They come with the helical coiled tube design which makes them stand out from other shell and tube heat exchangers available on the market currently. This exceptional design ensures highly efficient heat transfer performance and the systems to be used for diverse applications.
If you want the optimal performance of the solar pool heat exchanger, you need to consider installing it in a counter-current flow process. In this process, the hot or heating fluid flows through the tube or the primary side whereas the cold or heated fluid flows through the secondary or shell side. However, for the swimming pool, the pool water needs to flow through the shell side and the boiler water flows through the tube side.
What are the Main Features of the Solar Heat Exchanger?
The solar pool heat exchanger comes with higher heat transferring efficient heat exchanger tubes and a smooth shell. They ensure higher velocity inside the unit, making the heat exchanger more reliable, efficient, and affordable for indirectly transferring heat between any heating or boiler circuit and any pool or spa circuit apart from other applications.
Take a look at some of the key takeaways of solar pool heat exchangers.
- Higher efficiency and co-efficiency up to 14000 W/M2 deg C
- The heat exchange capacity of three to seven times that the traditional equipment
- Compact configuration, small area occupancy – one-tenth than the traditional equipment
- Made from stainless steel and/or titanium ensuring endurance against high temperature, pressure, and corrosion
- Helix screw thread elasticity heat exchange bundle which helps in eliminating the stress from the system
- Design flux speed of 5.5m/s which results in less dirt
- Made with ASME standard VIII-1
- Higher flow volume
- Easy installation and optimal durability
