What are the Reasons behind Choosing Solar Pool Heat Exchanger?

A solar pool heat exchanger is a highly efficient way of heat transfer between two different liquids. Both liquids can have different physical properties like water and glycol. Or they may need to be separated due to their different operational pressures. Whatever the reason maybe, Northern Lights solar heat exchanger ensures transferring energy more efficiently without any virtual heat loss.

Northern Lights Solar Solutions provides a special high-flow pool heat exchanger capable of handling higher secondary side flow as well as high chlorine levels very well. It has better quality flow characteristics making it an ideal alternative for both solar pool heating and hot tub heating purposes.

Solar Pool Heat Exchanger

If you want to use a solar pool heat exchanger for applications involving salt water, it’s recommended that you should consider investing in the titanium version of the solar pool heat exchanger. This version is highly resistant to chlorine and salt water.

What are the Main Reasons behind Using Solar Pool Heat Exchangers?

  • The solar pool heat exchanger available at Northern Lights Solar Solutions is specifically engineered to operate at high secondary side fluid velocities with low pressure drops.
  • The pool heat exchanger has a helical coiled tube design which makes the system unique from other shell and tube heat exchangers available right now on the market. Due to its exceptional design, the heat exchanger provides efficient heat transfer performance and is useful for a diverse range of applications.
  • If you want to maximize the overall performance of the solar pool heat exchanger, you should get it installed by using counter-current flow method. The hot or heating fluid flows through the tube or the primary side whereas the cold or heated fluid flows through the shell or secondary side.

For example: In a swimming pool, the pool water flows through the shell side and the boiler water flows through the tube side.

What are the Main Features of Solar Pool Heat Exchangers?

The solar pool heat exchanger has high heat transfer tubes and a smooth shell ensuring high velocities inside the unit. The tubes make the heat exchanger a very reliable, efficient and affordable alternative to transfer heat indirectly between any solar heating or boiler circuit and pool or spa circuits apart from other applications.

  • High efficiency and co-efficient of performance for up to 14000 w/m2 deg C
  • The heat exchange capacity of three to seven times than the traditional equipment
  • A compact configuration that occupies a small area i.e. one-tenth of the traditional exchanger
  • Stainless steel and/or titanium material for endurance against high temperature, pressure and corrosion
  • Helix screw thread elasticity heat exchange bundle that eliminates the stress
  • Design flux speed of 5.5m/s and less dirt
  • High flow volume
  • Easy and simple installation process and higher durability

5 Reasons to Switch to Solar Pool Heating System

When considering solar water heating systems , most pool owners are familiar with the benefits and affordability of using solar energy for heating their pools. More often, pools are used on a seasonal basis and as such they are only utilized during the summer season. However, investing in a solar pool heating system can provide enormous benefits to pool owners. The solar-powered pool heating kits can be integrated in such a way that during summer they provide enormous heat energy to pool and in winter they provide space and home heating as well as residential hot water. That means solar pool heating systems can minimize your heating bills throughout the year and are the only options for indoor pool owners looking for a perfect alternative to heating their pool during winter. If you are still not convinced about switching to solar pool heaters, please read the post and know why. 1. Extends your swimming season: Do you find your swimming pool too cold to enjoy? So, you migh...

Understanding the Types of Northern Lights Solar Water Heaters

Solar water heaters are the easiest possible ways to harness the solar energy directly. Northern Lights pre-packaged solar water heating kits are easy to install and provide unparalleled performance and safety. They are widely used in commercial premises like hotels, Laundromats, restaurants, car washes etc. Here are a few types of solar water heaters discussed below: Pre Heat Solar Tank System Pre Heat Solar Tank System comes with two tanks, first is a solar pre heat tank and is a basic solar hot water storage tank. This pre-heat tank is used to provide warm water to an existing hot water tank. This heating kit is the most common retrofit as it utilizes the existing hot water tank and requires very little retrofit to the plumbing. The main supply line is routed to the pre-heat tank and drawn back into the supply after it is heated. However, the most efficient solar water heaters use the basic theory of stratification. In the stratification process, the solar water heater...

What Are the Best Practices for Extending Your Pool Season with Solar Heating?

When the sun's warmth lingers, and you're not quite ready to say goodbye to your pool, solar heating offers a fantastic solution. Solar pool heating systems can extend your pool season, ensuring you can enjoy the water well into the cooler months. However, to make the most of your solar heating system and prolong your pool season effectively, you need to follow some best practices. In this article, we'll explore these practices, providing you with the knowledge to maximize your pool enjoyment while minimizing your energy costs. 1. Optimize Solar Collector Placement: The effectiveness of your solar heating system depends significantly on the placement of your solar collectors. To maximize exposure to sunlight, ensure that your collectors are positioned in an area with maximum sun exposure throughout the day. South-facing rooftops or open areas with minimal shading are ideal locations. 2. Use a Solar Pool Cover: A Solar pool cover is an invaluable companion to ...
