Plate-and-Frame Heat Exchangers for Swimming Pools and Spas
The Ideal Style of Heat Exchanger for Low-Temperature Pool-Heating Systems
Valutech offers Alfa Laval plate-and-frame heat exchangers for use within swimming pool and spa heating systems via direct/indirect heat sources. Gasketed plate units are particularly suited for large pools in commercial/public settings due to their ability to be easily taken apart and cleaned at regular intervals without disturbing piping, allowing compliance with municipal sanitation regulations. Their high heat transfer efficiency also allows them to: be operated at close (as little as 2°F) temperature approaches, quickly reheat pools for quick turn-around times in a fouling event, and be used effectively in conjunction with geothermal heat-sources as low as 110°F.
Applications of plate-and-frame heat exchangers in swimming pool applications include usage within:
- Heat Pump Systems
- Condensing Boiler Systems
- Geothermal Heating
- Make-up Heat Reclaim for Municipal, Commercial, and Recreational Pool-Water Heating
