Inverter Heat Pump for Pool Altek Pool 26 220V
The Altec Pool inverter heat pump with a power of 26 kW is slightly more expensive than traditional On/Off heat pumps, but it is more energy-efficient as it adjusts the performance (i.e., the number of revolutions) of both the compressor and the fan based on the heating needs of the pool water. They turn on and off less frequently, which prevents unnecessary energy loss. They are primarily designed to operate at an average performance of 50%, ensuring high efficiency, low noise levels, and a long lifespan for the pump.
Altec Pool is an air-source heat pump, or more precisely, an air/water heat pump for swimming pools that uses ambient air as the lower source (from which heat is extracted). These pumps are “monoblock,” meaning they are compact units that contain all components within a single housing. This makes installation very straightforward, with additional investment costs involving the purchase of PVC pipes, fittings, and valves with a diameter of d50/63 mm, as well as connecting the device to the pool filtration system. The low hydraulic resistance in the condenser, which is the titanium heat exchanger where the pool water is heated, allows for the use of the existing pool filter pump.
Low noise level (sound intensity). Altec Pool pumps use low-noise GMCC compressors and variable-speed fans. The operation of the device while maintaining the set water temperature with a 50% efficiency is approximately 7 times quieter than traditional On/Off heat pumps.
