Most pool owners know about using solar pool heating systems. They know all the benefits and cost-savings of solar for heating pools. Hence, investing in solar pool heaters can be lucrative for all pool owners. When buying a solar-powered heating system for your swimming pool, why don’t you invest in a solar pool heating kit available at Northern Lights Solar Solutions! Look at the post and know how this system works.
How Does a Solar Pool Heater Work?
Northern Lights solar pool heaters feature a closed loop system, while other pool heaters use an open loop system. In an open loop system, the pool pump pushes the pool water against gravity which causes additional wear on the pump and increases the operational cost of pumps by up to 30%.
But Northern Lights solar pool heating units use a heat exchanger to separate the pool heating fluid and the water in the pool. As a result, a very mall amount of water or glycol (In cold climates) is circulated throughout the solar evacuated tubes at a rate of 0.75-1.25 GPM. The evacuated tube absorbs energy from the sun and transfers the energy to the pool by using a heat exchanger.
The hi-flow pool heat exchanger always puts little resistance on the pool heat pump, ensuring that the heat pump works at its normal capacity. In addition, it prevents the chlorinated pool water from touching the solar heating system. As a result, the solar system extends its life and investment by around five times that of an ordinary heating system.
However, Northern Lights solar pool heaters are highly advanced and much more efficient so that they can start delivering heat as soon as the sun rises in the morning. This implies they don’t require direct sunlight conditions for their operation. Even in light rain, the solar pool heater will deliver heat energy to the pool.
The solar pool heating system has a digital controller that maximizes the solar output. It includes safety features like freeze protection, holiday cooling mode, and advanced energy monitoring, which will help you know your daily savings. In addition, you can get the system’s real-time performance and historical data by transmitting the system data to the internet on any PC or smartphone through Free Resol VBus.net.
How Does Solar Pool Heat Exchanger Work?
The solar pool heat exchanger is responsible for transferring heat between the pools. A titanium heat exchanger is perfect for saltwater or high chlorine pool. It will last much longer and work efficiently without being affected by the chemicals present in a pool.
The solar pool heat exchangers are specifically designed for applications of pool flow rates which can be as high as 50 GPM. The large unrestricted flow on the poolside absorbs the solar thermal energy provided by the solar side. The pool heat exchanger ensures that both liquids don’t come in contact with each other physically.
