Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swimming pool system, in particular an indoor pool system, with a normal swimming pool with water of a first temperature and a hot water pool provided in addition to the normal swimming pool, in particular a hot tub, with water at a second temperature above the first temperature, a circulation system for guiding the Water from the swimming pool in a water circuit for filtering and sterilizing and a heater for heating up the water supplied to the hot water pool, the water fed to the hot water pool being derived from the water circuit of the swimming pool guided by the circulation system and, if applicable, the water discharged from the hot water pool to the water circuit of the swimming pool is redirected.
  • a circulation system for guiding the Water from the swimming pool in a water circuit for filtering and sterilizing and a heater for heating up the water supplied to the hot water pool, the water fed to the hot water pool being derived from the water circuit of the swimming pool guided by the circulation system and, if applicable, the water discharged from the hot water pool to the water circuit of the swimming pool is redirected.
  • the water in a hot water pool has to be circulated like the water in a normal swimming pool and filtered and sterilized. This is of considerable importance due to the higher temperature of the water in the hot water pool and the small size of the hot water pool compared to a normal swimming pool.
  • the circulation system is therefore used to guide the water in the swimming pool in a water circuit for filtering and disinfecting the water supplied to the hot water pool.
  • the water supplied to the hot water pool is derived from the water circuit of the swimming pool, which is carried by the circulation system.
  • This water derived from the water circuit of the swimming pool for the hot water pool is then heated by means of the heater to the temperature desired in the hot water pool.
  • warm water is accordingly drained from the hot water pool. This water discharged from the hot water pool is either fed directly to the canalization or returned to the water circuit of the swimming pool.
  • the invention has for its object to design and develop a swimming pool system of the generic type so that the consumption of fresh water and energy is as low as possible.
  • the swimming pool system according to the invention in which the above-mentioned object is achieved, is characterized in that a heat exchanger with a low-temperature path and a high-temperature path that is in heat-exchanging interaction with the low-temperature path is provided, and that the water supplied to the hot water pool via the low-temperature path and that from the hot water pool drained water is conducted via the high temperature path of the heat exchanger.
  • the heat of the water derived from the hot water basin the temperature of which is yes corresponds approximately to the high temperature of the water in the hot water pool, in the heat exchanger provided according to the invention to a part dependent on the efficiency of the heat exchanger to the water supplied to the hot water pool.
  • the water supplied to the hot water pool is therefore already heated in the heat exchanger to a temperature which is considerably higher than the temperature with which this water circulates in the water circuit of the swimming pool.
  • the temperature of the water discharged from the hot water pool is as low as possible after flowing through the high-temperature path of the heat exchanger.
  • the invention is of particular importance when the water discharged from the warm water pool is returned to the water cycle of the swimming pool. Then namely the temperature increase of the water in the swimming pool can normally be neglected, so that the additional supply of fresh water beyond the amount necessary to maintain hygienically perfect water can be dispensed with entirely or at least for the most part.
  • the heating power of the heater for heating the water supplied to the hot water pool can of course be considerably lower than in the swimming pool systems known from the prior art.
  • the heat exchanger according to the invention is distinguished by a double function, namely on the one hand an energy-saving preheating of the water supplied to the hot water basin, and on the other hand a buw which reduces the thermal load on the sewage system. cooling of the water discharged from the hot water pool reduces the consumption of fresh water. Depending on the design of the heat exchanger, an efficiency of up to 80% can be achieved.
  • the swimming pool system shown in the figures is designed in particular as an indoor pool system and, in addition to a normal swimming pool 1 with water of a first temperature, for example a temperature of 28 ° C., has an additional hot water pool 2 with water of a second temperature, for example 36, which is above the first temperature ° C.
  • This additionally provided hot water pool 2 is preferably designed as a hot spring pool.
  • the figures also show a circulation system 3 for guiding the water in the swimming pool 1 in a hot water circuit for filtering and sterilizing.
  • This circulation system 3 has, for example, a circulation capacity of 200 m3 / h.
  • the circulation system 3 includes a first circulation pump 4, which is connected on the suction side to a floor drain 5 of the swimming pool 1.
  • a second circulation pump 6 is arranged, which is connected on the suction side to an outlet 7 of a surge water reservoir 8 assigned to the swimming pool 1.
  • both circulation pumps 4, 6 are connected to a filter and disinfection stage 9, which here has two filter units 10 connected in parallel.
  • the filter and disinfection stage 9 is connected on the downstream side to a heater 11 for heating the water supplied to the swimming pool 1 to the first temperature.
  • the heater 11 in turn is connected on the outflow side to an edge inlet 12 of the swimming pool 1.
  • Various valves are provided which serve to control the water cycle in the circulation system 3.
  • the water supplied to the warm water pool 2 is derived from the water circuit of the swimming pool 1 guided by the circulation system 3.
  • a separate heater 13 is provided for heating the water supplied to the hot water pool 2 to the desired second temperature in the hot water pool 2.
  • the water discharged from the warm water pool 2 is also fed back into the water cycle of the swimming pool 1.
  • a circulation pump 14 is used for this purpose, which is connected on the suction side to an outlet 15 of a surge water reservoir 16 assigned to the warm water pool 2.
  • a heat exchanger 17 is now provided with a low-temperature path 18 and a high-temperature path 19 which is in heat-exchanging interaction with the low-temperature path 18.
  • This heat exchanger 17 is switched on in the water cycle of the water of the swimming pool system so that the water supplied to the hot water pool 2 via the low temperature path 18 and that from the Warm water pool 2 derived water is passed through the high temperature path 19 of the heat exchanger 17.
  • the heat of the water discharged from the hot water pool 2 is largely transferred to the water supplied to the hot water pool 2.
  • a circulation capacity of 20 m 3 / h is realized in the hot water circuit by means of the circulation pump 14.
  • the temperature of the water conducted via the high-temperature path 19 of the heat exchanger 17 is lowered from 36 ° C. and 29.5 ° C., and at the same time the temperature of the water directed via the low-temperature path 18 of the heat exchanger 17 is reduced from 28 ° C. to 34.5 ° C. elevated. Consequently, in this example, the heater 13 only has to heat the water supplied to the hot water pool 2 by 1.5 ° C.
  • a postdosing device for a disinfectant for example chlorine
  • a metering device takes into account the fact that, for example, the chlorine content in the hot water pool 2 must be higher than in the swimming pool 1.
  • the exemplary embodiments shown correspond to a preferred teaching of the invention, since the low-temperature path 18 of the heat exchanger 17 is arranged in countercurrent to the high-temperature path 19.
  • the efficiency of 80% resulting from the numerical example explained above can thus be achieved for the heat exchanger 17.
  • the heat exchanger 17 can, for example and according to the preferred teaching of the invention, be designed as a plate heat exchanger.
  • expedient embodiments of heat exchangers are known from the prior art, for example from the standard work LUEGER "Lexicon dertechnik", Volume 16, “Lexikon dermaschinestechnik” DVA, Stuttgart, 1970, pages 562 to 567.
  • the low-temperature path 18 of the heat exchanger 17 is arranged in front of the heater 13, as seen in the flow direction of the water fed to the warm water pool 2.
  • the figures show preferred embodiments of the swimming pool system according to the invention, since the heat exchanger 17 with the inflow end of the low-temperature path 18 on the outflow side of the filter and disinfection stage 9 and with the outflow end of the high-temperature path 19 on the inflow side of the filter and disinfection stage 9 to the water cycle of the Pool 1 is connected.
  • the surge water reservoir 8 of the swimming pool 1 is recommended as a collector for the water derived from the swimming pool 1 and the warm water pool 2.
  • the figures of the drawing also show what has already been mentioned briefly, namely that the heat exchanger 17 is connected to the surge water reservoir 16 associated with the hot water pool 2 by the inflow end of the high temperature path 19, specifically via the circulation pump 14.
  • a surge water tank in the narrower sense, it can of course also be a different type of water tank.
  • the presence of such a water reservoir is not absolutely necessary. In any case, it can be expedient if one provides that a minimum water level is first reached in this surge water reservoir 16 or the like before the water is discharged via the high-temperature path 19 of the heat exchanger 17.
  • the preferred exemplary embodiment of a swimming pool system shown in FIG. 2 in a representation corresponding to FIG. 1 differs from the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 only in that a heat pump arrangement 20 is also provided.
  • the heat pump arrangement 20 has in the usual way two heat exchangers and one heat pump which is active between the heat exchangers. This need not be explained in detail here. It is essential that the heat pump arrangement 20 is arranged in such a way that its heat exchangers are connected on the one hand to the low-temperature path 18 for the water supplied to the hot water pool 2 and on the other hand to the high temperature path 19 for the water derived from the hot water pool 2.
  • the heat pump arrangement 20 Through the heat pump arrangement 20, on the one hand, the water supplied to the warm water basin 2, already heated in the heat exchanger 17, and on the other hand, the water derived from the warm water basin 2 and already cooled in the heat exchanger 17 flow.
  • the cooled water which flows from the high-temperature path 19 of the heat exchanger 17 to the splash water reservoir 8 in the exemplary embodiment shown, can again "actively” extract heat from the heat pump arrangement 20 and the Warm water pool 2 supplied water can be supplied.
  • the heat pump arrangement 20 can be switched on or off, depending on the temperature conditions in the swimming pool 1 and in the warm water pool 2.
