If you’re looking to reduce the cost of heating your pool, or just want to be a bit more eco-friendly, you might be wondering if you can use the waste heat from your air conditioner to heat your pool. The answer is yes! It’s possible to capture and use the waste heat from an air conditioning unit in order to heat a swimming pool.
This process is known as “heat and chill recovery”, and it involves using a specialised system that captures the energy produced by an air conditioner and uses it to heat up a swimming pool. This system will typically include an air handler, a fan, and a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers are designed to transfer the energy from one medium (in this case, the air conditioner) to another (the pool water). The fan helps move the hot air produced by the air conditioner over the heat exchanger so that it can be transferred into the water.
The benefits of installing this type of system are numerous. First and foremost, it can save you money on your energy bills by reducing your need for conventional heating systems such as electric or gas systems. It also reduces your environmental impact since it requires no additional fuel or electricity consumption in order to operate. Additionally, since it captures waste heat from an existing appliance in your home (your air conditioner), you don’t have to worry about additional resources being used up.
When installing this type of system, it’s important to find experienced engineers who understand how these systems work and can install them correctly for optimal performance. At Euroheat Australia in Perth, we have been designing and constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems for over 30 years – so we know exactly what we are doing! We provide comprehensive design and installation services that ensure that everything is done correctly from start to finish.
As far as energy savings are concerned, this type of system can save you quite a bit of money on heating costs each year – depending on how much you use your pool in any given season. For example: if you used your pool for 8 hours per day during summer months with an average temperature of 25°C outside – then using a waste heat recovery system could save around 67% on heating costs compared with electric or gas powered systems. That means if you normally spend $2,000 per year on heating your pool then this system could save around $1,340 per year!
So if you’re looking for ways to reduce the cost of keeping your pool warm while also reducing environmental impact – then consider investing in a waste-heat recovery system!
