    Talking Hi there from sunny South Africa



    My name is TC and this is my first posting.

    I manufacture swimming pool Heat Pumps and would appreciate anyone out there with expierience in these products, particularly manufacture or design, that they could share with me it would be apprciated.
    Currently I manufacture sizes from 5 kw - 25 kw (Output Power) using SCROLL compressors, but am looking to make larger units.

    I am based in Johannesburg.(currently the home of 20/20 Cricket)

    I do have a web site if anyone is interested.

    Hi TC
    We have manufactured swimming pool heat pumps up to 200kW capacity using scroll compressors, units use air sourced evaporator coil with a coil in shell type water heat exchanger, biggest problem has been controlling evaporator air flow at low ambient conditions to maintain optimum compressor output.
    Like to hear how you went.

    Hey TC,I'm from South Africa,used to work for Matador in Midrand.(Pick and Pay supermarket systems),but I'm from Cape Town. Welcome to the site.Pretty interesting line of work.

    Minimal experience in swimming pool heat pumps,but as far as I know,its pretty demanding where you're at.Good luck buddy...

    Re: Hi there from sunny South Africa

    Would it be possible to manufacture a heat pump for a pool out of a 2nd hand ac unit and a heat exchanger?
