Swimming pool heat pump: reduce power consumption with ultrasonic flowmeter

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.

How does a pool heat pump work?

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 temperature of the air.
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.

How much energy do ultrasonic flow meters save?

To improve a pool's energy efficiency, we recommend installing a heat pump. This allows you to take advantage of a more durable, high-performance technology for water heating.

In addition,energy efficiency can beoptimized with an ultrasonic flow meter 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%.
