How to size AC Unit for indoor swimming pool?

 Need calculations and standard reference for its temperature, air velocity, how to calculate the humidity load, smell and fresh air calculations and heat dissipation if the water is heated. Same during winter.

As its name suggests, a reverse-cycle heat pump cools your swimming pool by reversing its heating cycle. A thermostat on the heat pump allows you to set a specific swimming pool water temperature, and the heat pump will maintain that temperature by using its heating cycle, cooling cycle, or, in some cases, both. Inside the unit, a reversing valve allows refrigerant to travel one direction during heating cycles and another during cooling cycles.

 

Every heat pump contains two heat exchangers in addition to a compressor. One acts as an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger and the other acts as a refrigerant-to-water exchanger During the heating cycle, the air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger collects heat from the air and transfers it to the swimming pool water using the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger. During the cooling cycle (reverse cycle), the refrigerant flows in the opposite direction. Heat is transferred from the swimming pool water to the refrigerant to the air. The process repeats until the desired swimming pool water temperature – as indicated by the thermostat – is attained.

 

 

I hope this helps

Good luck
