Swimming pools and aquatic centers are notorious for their high water and energy consumption.
According to ADEME, pool water heating accounts for around 30% of a pool's electricity consumption.
With the price of electricity rising exponentially, it's important to find ways of reducing energy consumption for swimming pools, so that you can continue to enjoy this leisure activity.
One of the most effective ways of reducing energy consumption is to use a pool heat pump.
This heat exchanger is an excellent way of heating your pool's bathing water without consuming a lot of energy.
It offers significant savings compared with more energy-intensive traditional gas heating systems.
Pool heat pumps work by using a refrigerant to transfer heat from the ambient air into your pool water.
The pump begins by drawing in warm air from outside and using a compressor to raise the air temperature.
The warm air then passes over a series of coils containing the refrigerant.
As the air cools, the refrigerant condenses, releasing heat.
This heat is then transferred to your pool water, raising its temperature.
These heat exchangers offer a renewable, natural and sustainable source ofenergy.
To maintain optimum efficiency, pool heat pumps are designed to operate within specific water temperature and flow rate ranges.
To ensure optimal operation, heat exchangers require adjustment of the control elements.
The water flow rate must comply with the manufacturer's datasheet to ensure optimum system efficiency and reduce power consumption.
Fuji Electric's Time Delta-C non-intrusive ultrasonic flowmeter measures heat exchanger pump flow. In addition to this task, it has a built-in function for calculating heating system efficiency when temperature sensors are connected.
The non-intrusive flowmeter can be quickly installed without cutting pipes or interrupting the operation of the pool and its heating system.
Temperature measurement is performed using two skin temperature probes, which are installed on the water pipes using clamps.
The flow meter displays the instantaneous flow rate, the difference between the exchanger inlet and outlet temperatures, and calculates the efficiency of the pool heat pump's heat exchanger.
The heat pump's operating flow rate is adjusted and optimized to guarantee the best energy performance for the pool.
To improve a pool'senergy efficiency, we recommend installing a heat pump. This allows you to take advantage of a more sustainable, high-performance technology for water heating.
In addition,energy efficiency can beoptimized with an ultrasonic flowmeter equipped with a temperature sensor. This combination enables energy consumption to be effectively monitored and regulated.
By implementing these solutions, pool owners can look forward to reducing their pool-related energy consumption. The result is a substantial reduction in their electricity bill, of up to 40%.
The ultrasonic liquid flow meter offers many advantages for reducing your energy bill for your pool:
