solar swimming pool heating system
You can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by installing a solar pool heater. They're cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs. Actually, solar swimming pool heating system is the most cost-effective use of solar energy in many climates.
Evacuated tube solar collector is very efficient for solar swimming pool heating. We normally adopt some 20tube or 50tube solar collectors to heat the swimming pool.
Most solar swimming pool heating systems include the following:
· A solar collector -- the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun
· A filter -- removes debris before water is pumped through the collector
· A pump -- circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool
· A controller -- automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector.
Solar pool heating system contractors use worksheets and computer programs to help determine system requirements and collector sizing.
Basically, the surface area of your solar collector should equal 50%–100% of the surface area of your pool. In cooler and cloudier areas, you may need to increase the ratio between the collector area and the pool surface area. Adding collector square footage also lengthens the swimming season.
For example, a 15-by-30-foot outdoor swimming pool in Florida typically requires a collector that equals 100% of the pool's square footage to accommodate year-round use. This equals 450 square feet of collectors. In northern California, most people use outdoor pools 6–8 months per year, so they typically size their systems at 60%–70% of the pool's surface area.
In any climate, you can usually decrease the required collector area by using a pool cover.
You'll also want a properly sized pump for a solar swimming pool heater system. If you're replacing a conventional pool heating system with a solar system, you may need a pump larger than your current one or a separate, smaller pump to move the pool's water to and through the collectors.
