Summary

THE ELECTRICITY COUNCIL HAS PROMOTED THE USE OF HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY FOR SWIMMING POOLS SINCE 1970 AND HAS DEVELOPED DESIGNS FOR SYSTEMS WHICH CAN GIVE AN ENERGY REDUCTION OF OVER 90% COMPARED WITH 1970 SYSTEMS. OUT OF THE 1,000 MUNICIPAL POOLS IN THE COUNTRY, 250 HAVE ELECTRIC DEHUMIDIFIER SYSTEMS FOR HEAT RECOVERY, AND IN 1986 THERE WILL BE A PUSH FOR THE INSTALLATION OF NEW AND RETROFIT PACKAGES. THE AUTHOR REVIEWS THE DEVELOPMENT FROM 1970. THE MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENT USES PACKAGED HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USE OF POOL COVERS DURING UNOCCUPIED PERIODS AND USING CHEAP NIGHT TARIFF ELECTRICITY.
