Lochinvar’s Innovative Solar Solution Heats Coastal Pool with KSA Vacuum Panels

Looking to extend your swimming season and enjoy a warm pool even in cooler months? Lochinvar’s Commercial Solar Swimming Pool Heating offers a cutting-edge solution using Super Hot Vacuum Panels. A recent successful installation by Elite Renewables in London showcases the effectiveness of this technology for a sailing club on England’s south coast.

Overcoming Challenges: Saltwater and Space Constraints

A unique challenge for this project was the pool’s proximity to the sea. Exposure to saltwater and sand can damage traditional solar panels. To address this, the Mechanical Engineer strategically opted for vacuum collectors, ensuring superior performance in this harsh coastal environment.

Benefits of Vacuum Panels for Solar Pool Heating

  • Superior Saltwater and Sand Resistance: Unlike traditional panels, Lochinvar’s KSA panels utilize vacuum sealing technology. This innovative design shields the panel absorber from the corrosive effects of saltwater and sand, a critical advantage for coastal pools.

 

  • Enhanced Thermal Insulation: The vacuum technology creates high-performance thermal insulation, minimizing both conductive and convective heat loss. This translates to efficient pool heating, even during the colder winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.

 

  • Long-lasting Efficiency: Lochinvar’s vacuum panels boast exceptional efficiency and longevity. These panels are intentionally shipped without a vacuum to safeguard system integrity during transport, as vacuum loss can potentially occur in transit. Additionally, the design allows for future re-evacuation if a vacuum leak develops, maintaining optimal system efficiency and extending the lifespan of your solar pool heating system.

What the Client said in Sepetmber;

“What you may not have noticed, due to the efficiency of the new solar panels, is that the gas fired boiler failed in the first week of September and hasn’t been working since. The solar panels have however managed to keep the pool water to a ‘swimmable’ 25-26 degrees”.

Versatile Orientation:

Another remarkable feature of vacuum panels is their flexibility in orientation. They can be installed at angles as low as 5 degrees if required. This adaptability proved to be invaluable when dealing with limited roof space for panel installation. In response to the client’s request, the panels were mounted vertically, ensuring an optimal fit for the available space.
