Large heat pumps for Juist indoor swimming pool
Municipalities for climate protection: BWP e.V. awards prizes for exceptional heat pumps in municipal projects.
The German Heat Pump Association (BWP) presented awards to special heat pump projects at the 8th Heat Pump Forum on October 7, 2010: municipalities that are particularly committed to the topic of heat pumps or public buildings that act as role models for the expansion of renewable energies in the heating market. The reason: since 2012, EU law has required public buildings to act as role models for the expansion of renewable energies in the heating market. The projects that received awards were Fürth Town Hall and Juist Water Park.
SmartHeat heat pumps improve the energy balance, for example in the swimming pools in Emden, Singen, Anweiler and also in Juist. Titan large heat pumps are used, which are planned, designed and produced specifically for each project. The special thing about these water/water heat pumps: the solar absorber serves as the heat source.
By using the latest absorber and SmartHeat heat pump technology, the Juist seawater adventure pool has so far saved around 35 % energy. In the summer, the difference between the ambient temperature and the average absorber temperature (due to average temperatures of 15-20 °C) is in the range of 2-10 K. Under these operating conditions, the collector and absorber have a similar level of efficiency. By combining a heat pump with the absorber solar field, very high efficiency figures are achieved for the heat pump, as the absorber provides a correspondingly high input temperature. As a result, efficiency figures of up to 8 are achieved, which represent the ratio between the energy used and the energy released.
This indoor pool is therefore another very good example of the diverse application possibilities of SmartHeat heat pumps - to the satisfaction of the operator and of course his guests.
SmartHeat heat pumps can be found in many swimming pools, indoor pools and outdoor pools. A wide variety of sources come into consideration: cold water pools like in Homburg or solar absorbers like here in Juist or Emden, Singen and also Anweiler.
