Inverter Heat Pump for Pool Altek Pool 17 220V 2112860
The Altec Pool inverter heat pump with a power of 17 kW is slightly more expensive than traditional On/Off heat pumps, but they are more energy-efficient since they adjust the performance (i.e., the number of revolutions) of both the compressor and the fan according to the heating needs of the pool water. They switch 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 atmospheric air as the lower source (from which heat is extracted). These pumps are “monoblock,” meaning they are compact units that contain all components in one housing. This makes installation very straightforward, and additional investment costs include purchasing PVC pipes, fittings, and valves with a diameter of d50/63 mm and connecting the device to the pool filtration system. The low hydraulic resistance in the condenser, i.e., in the titanium heat exchanger where the pool water is heated, allows for the use of the existing pool filtration 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 at 50% efficiency is approximately 7 times quieter than traditional On/Off heat pumps.
