Just like a room air
conditioner moves 2 to 3 units of heat from your home for every unit of
electricity it consumes, Heat SiphonŽ uses 1 unit of electric energy to
MOVE 5 units of HEAT FROM THE AIR which delivers 6
units of heat to your pool water. Heat SiphonŽ is a stand alone heat pump
designed specifically for recreational water heating (in ground, on ground
or above ground pools, spas, hot tubs, swim spa's, etc.). If you have an
air conditioner, dehumidifier, water cooler or a refrigerator, you already
own a heat pump. All these appliances use the same dependable technology
to move heat from one place to another using electric power and a sealed
refrigerant compression system.
You pay for one unit of electricity and get
6 units of heat :
1. A unit
of electrical energy (you pay for) runs the compressor and fan. The fan
sucks large quantities of air through the evaporator coils and the freon
liquid inside the coils picks up five units of heat (FREE) from the air
changing the liquid into a gas. The compressor squeezes
this gas, causing its temperature to climb above 200° F (93° C) Result:
Six units of heat added to the gas.
2. The hot,
high pressure gas flows through the inside of the condenser coil. The
colder pool water picks up the six units of heat cooling
the freon down back to a liquid.
3. The warm
liquid is forced through a valve. As it drops in pressure, it rapidly
expands and becomes an extremely cold liquid . This liquid flows back into
the evaporator
4 It
repeats the cycle.
