Use Heat Exchanger To Warm Swimming Pool Water

There is not a lot of public information about heat exchangers; they are usually only discussed in mechanical and chemical engineers area. Yet they are creating all over the world in common appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators, the radiator in motor vehicles is another example.

The basic principle behind heat exchangers is the transferring of heat from one medium to another medium. For example, the car radiator allows hot fluid from the engine to be cooled when the fins of the radiator radiate the heat into the air that flows over its surface. Some factors that influence the efficiency of heat exchangers are the rate of the fluid flow and the total surface area of the wall that separates the fluids.

Flat plate heat exchanger uses metal plates for transferring heat between two fluids. The plate offers a much larger surface area as compared to the conventional heat exchangers. This will also increase the temperature change speed as well as facilitate the heat transfer. There are two kinds of these plate heat exchangers as the greater ones use gaskets between plates and the smaller ones are brazed.

They use pipes and other containment equipment to cool or heat a fluid by transferring heat between it and a different fluid. The best common exchangers have a coiled pipe that encloses a fluid that is passing through a chamber that contains another fluid. The pipes walls in most swimming pool heat exchanger are made of metal or other substances that have high thermal conductivity and this is to be able to facilitate the interchange.

Cross flow heat exchanger is an outstanding way to keep your pool at a relaxed temperature for swimming even during the cooler nights of spring and fall. These exchanges do not generate heat themselves but rather act as a heat exchanger, collecting heat energy from the environment. A fan draws air over an evaporator coil filled with refrigerant which absorbs heat and becomes a gas. A compressor increases the heat of the gas which passes through a condenser coil which transfers the warmth to the circulating pool water.

The heated water then renters your pool and raises the temperature of the water in your pool. This allows you to use your pool almost year round, making your investment pay off that much better. The most important thing is choosing the right size heater for your pool.
