Plate Heat Exchanger
Boasting 90% efficiency, this new ground-breaking double plate heat exchanger comes in two airflow scenarios (figures A & B), 100% resistant to the swimming pools corrosive atmosphere and is extremely light weight. This means that when external temperatures are as low as -5⁰C, you are able to recover heat from the extract and supply air at 26.5⁰C without any other expense (figures based upon return air at 30⁰C).
The plate heat exchanger shall be a high efficiency composite construction guaranteed against corrosion from the chemicals in a swimming pool environment for life. It shall not be manufactured from fluted panels without the current inward and exhaust airways to reduce pressure drop. The plate heat exchanger plates shall be vacuumed from thin section composite for maximum efficiency of heat transfer and not from the thicker fluted inefficient panel type. The plate heat exchanger shall be optimised for all operational conditions for maximum efficiency and have a pressure drop ‘lower than’ and efficiency ‘higher than’ the old fluted panel type of construction.
Advantages:
- Double recovery
- 90% efficient
- Reduces expensive additional heat input

Bypass around low temperature hot water coil for separate duct connection to spectator zone.
Advantages:
- Minimum heat output required
- Small low duty coil
- Coated fins to resist corrosion
- Coated header to resist corrosion
- Coated casework to resist corrosion
- Coated tubes to resist corrosion
- Packaged with valve and actuator
- Frost protection thermostat
Dampers
Air control dampers shall be metal free composite construction complete with blade seals to ensure effective isolation of the air stream.
All movement shall be achieved via composite drive gears fitted within the air stream to avoid contamination, damper linkages shall not be acceptable.
The damper construction shall allow full opening of the air path for the lowest pressure loss and optimum air flow onto the components.
Every damper motor shall include a feedback potentiometer and shall be individually adjusted or closed over the direct digital control system.
Advantages:
