Space Cooling
Applications
– Cellar cooling
– Kitchen cooling
– Walk in fridge
• Primary goal to cool space
• Either for comfort cooling or to maintain
a storage temperature
• Waste heat is dissipated to hot water
circuit
• No external refrigeration condenser
required
• Sized and controlled on cooling demand
• Ideal for high latent energy cooling loads
![Page 26: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Waste Heat Recovery
• Primary use to recover waste heat
from an overheated area

temperature
• Sized and controlled on hot water
usage
![Page 27: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

![Page 29: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Fundamental Requirements
for Pool Complexes
• WATER HEATING
Replenish pool water heat losses
• AIR HEATING
Replenish/maintain pool air above pool temperature
• DEHUMIDIFICATION
Remove moisture from pool hall air
• FRESH AIR
Ventilate at minimum acceptable rates
• HEAT RECOVERY
Use available latent heat
![Page 30: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dehumidification
Affects of Uncontrolled Humidity
• Condensation
• Damage to building
• Structural damage
• Damage to fabric, fixtures and fittings
• Mildew and mould growth
• Personal discomfort
![Page 31: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What do indoor
swimming pools require?
1. A pool temperature of between 28ºC and 30ºC to make swimming pools suitable for swimmers
2. Pool hall air at 1ºC above pool temperature to minimise evaporation of pool water
to minimise transmission loss to air to provide a comfortable condition for occupants
3. Relative Humidity of 55-65%RH to prevent condensation and damage to building to provide a comfortable condition for occupants
4. Fresh Air Ventilation at 10 litres/sec/person or
3 litres/sec/m2 pool area Dilute CO2 build up reduce airborne chemical build up
![Page 32: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Fresh Air Requirements
• Number of guides state ventilation rates based on air
change rates in the pool hall
• Traditionally based on using fresh air for dehumidification • CIBSE Guide B2, section 3.21.7
Overall 4-6 or 8-10 ac/h dependant on use
Fresh Air at 10 l/s/m2 pool hall area & 12 l/s/pers
• SPATA Standard Vol 2, section 3
Fresh Air at 10 l/s/pers & 3 l/s/m2 pool area for dilution of CO2 and
chemicals
• ISRM & ILAM – advice based on air changes
• Any fresh air introduced will need to be heated
• Should be kept to a minimum for occupancy & dilution only
![Page 33: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Heat Losses from a Pool
There are three major sources of heat loss
• Evaporation from pool – 65%
• Radiation – 20%
• Conduction into ground – 15%
Note
Use of a pool Cover will significantly reduce the heat losses from a pool and therefore the heat input required
![Page 34: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Typical Swimming Pool
Losses
• At 28ºC a pool loses an average of 20 litres/hour
per 100 square metres of pool area
• For a 6 lane 25m standard pool, area 325sqm, this
equates to 65 litres per hour
• The energy content of this moisture is 0.627kWh
per litre
• This equates to 65 x 0.677 = 44kW available to be
recovered
• Recovering this energy will make a significant
contribution to the pool energy usage
![Page 35: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

There are several types of dehumidification systems
available:-
• 100% Fresh air

Why use a Heat Pump?
• Recovered energy
• Energy efficient
• Environmentally friendly
• Lower running costs
• Swimming pool water usually at 28-30oC
• Air temp usually 30oC
• Ideal operating conditions for heat pump
• COP of approx 5
• Efficiency 500%
• Subtract fan energy use, efficiency still 300%

Benefits of HRD
• HRD controls air temp, water temp, humidity and fresh air introduction
• Pool hall air re-circulated
• Fresh air modulated to keep to minimum
• Fresh air volume dependant on air temp, humidity or occupancy
(AQ/CO2) sensor
• Fresh air volume of up to 72% of re-circulated volume
• Energy saving due to latent heat recovery
• Heat recovery to water and air
• Heat recovery to water sufficient to make up all of operational pool
water heat losses
• Save 30-40% of running cost compared to recuperator based system
with variable fresh air
• Significant reduction in associated CO2 emissions
![Page 62: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Benefits of HRD
• Compact size
• Fully packaged unit including controls
• Controls can be stand alone or utilise local BMS controller
• Smaller LPHW air heater required due to lower fresh air
volumes
• Boiler capacity required therefore reduced compared to
AHU with recuperator
• Associated project costs lower:- • Boiler
• Controls • Plant room space

Sizing of Heat Pump
Dehumidifier Dehumidifiers are sized to cope with the average evaporation
from a pool over a 24 hour period and maintain the correct
humidity, usually 60%RH.
Fresh air is used to assist with humidity loads at times of peak
usage
Factors that influence selection are:- • Pool surface area
• Water temperature
• Air temperature
• Pool hall volume
• Building heat losses and gains
• Pool cover
• Usage
• PoolCalc selection programme

• GSHP providing LPHW at 50-55oC in place of
conventional boiler
• Output of LPHW coils reduced, usually flow temperature
80oC.
• 40-50% of rated output!!
• Need to check changed capacity against building and
pool heat loads
• Calorex are only company that can offer complete 100%
heat pump only solution for an indoor pool
• Good viable solution, particularly off gas network

ASHP & Variheat
![Page 86: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
GSHP for Indoor Pool
Water Heating
• Operational heat losses of pool made up from recovered energy
if using heat pump heat recovery AHU
• Only water heat load comes from back wash of filters and
dilution for chemical treatment
• Heat up from cold done rarely
• Cost prohibitive to size GSHP for rapid heat up time.
• Limited usage if installed just for limited pool water heat load
• GSHP combined with other loads e.g. pool hall air heating, main
dwelling space heating would be OK
![Page 87: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
GSHP for Outdoor Pool
• Summer Season; March - October
• Use Air Source Heat Pump; e.g. Calorex PPT range
• COP of GSHP fixed at 4
• COP of ASHP variable from 4 when air at 10oC to 6 with
air at 25oC
• Installation cost of ASHP cheaper than GSHP
• Running cost of ASHP cheaper than GSHP
• Conclusion - Install ASHP
![Page 88: Leisure centres heat pumps, indoor pools & heat recovery](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021506/588923b21a28ab77528b5b71/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)

• Carbon Trust & Siemens interest free loan scheme – Interest free loan over 4 years – Ltd company only
– Payback based on energy saving achieved
– Covers installation costs
• Salix Finance – Loans and grants for public sector
– Can assist Local Authorities with Carbon and energy saving projects
• Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) - commercial – Subsidy based on ‘metered’ renewable heat generated
– <100kW; GSHP 4.7p/kWh for 20 years – current
– ASHP; 1.7p/kWh for 20 years - due summer 2013
