What heating technologies are used for outdoor swimming pools?

The active heating technologies used for outdoor swimming pools include solar collector, heat pump, PCM storage, geothermal energy, biomass heater, and waste heat recovery technologies. A discussion is presented on the practical and possible heating techniques for swimming pool applications.

Do unglazed solar collectors heat outdoor swimming pools?

Thermal analysis of five outdoor swimming pools heated by unglazed solar collectors. Solar Energy, 53: 21–26. Molineaux B, Lachal B, Guisan O (1994b). Thermal analysis of five unglazed solar collector systems for the heating of outdoor swimming pools. Solar Energy, 53: 27–32.

Are unglazed and evacuated solar collectors suitable for swimming pools?

The results demonstrate that unglazed collectors are appropriate for this kind of use and evacuated collectors can be useful just in case of very big swimming pools in order to reduce the absorbing area of the solar panels. 1876-6102 © 2015 The Authors.

How does a solar pool cooling system work?

During the summer, some of the cooling is generated directly from a conventional air-conditioning system using daytime solar generation. Additionally, the pool can be partially filled with ice during days with large solar generation and low cooling demand, storing energy from the day to be used during the night.

Which type of solar collector is best for outdoor swimming pools?

The numerical results highlight that for the heating of outdoor swimming pools EC and UC collectors are the most suitable typologies, due to their high efficiency at low climatic abscissa values. The results show how the minimum value of the acceptable pool water temperature strongly influences the sizing of the solar collectors.
