WHAT IS A HEAT PUMP? A heat pump exploits a thermodynamic principle to capture heat calories from ambient air and then transfer them to swimming pool water. For every kilowatt of electricity it consumes, a Climexel heat pump delivers up to 7.6 kw of heating power, fulfilling the requirement for an A rating according to the Directive Technique Piscine N 10 (pool directive pertaining to heating issued by the FPP - French federation of pool professionals ). This is one of the best yields available on the market. INVERTER PRINCIPLE Climexel heat pumps are fitted with a frequency variator capable of adjusting the compressor and fan speeds. On the contrary to the compressor and fan(s) in conventional On/Off heat pumps that run at a fixed speed (50 Hz), those in the Climexel heat pumps run at variable speeds (11 to 100 Hz), thus allowing the machine to automatically adapt to the heating demand and climatic conditions. While the outdoor temperature is low, or while the heating demand is high, the Power Inverter compressor and fan(s) run at high speed, between 50 Hz and 100 Hz). Inversely, while the heating demand is low, or while the heat pump is running at temperatures around the set point, the Inverter compressor and fan(s) will run at low speeds (between 11 Hz and 50 Hz). At low speeds, Climexel heat pumps COP is improved by 30 to 40 %. Running at low speeds, the Inverter compressor and fan(s) are almost noiseless and provide optimal yields. In addition, the service life of the Climexel heat pump compressor, and other components, is extended. Temperature Heat pump operation On / Off Temperature Heat pump operation CLIMEXEL M.P.I.

S ERIES ANALOGY WITH A MOTORISED VEHICLE While a Climexel heat pump runs at water temperatures hovering around its set point, the power it requires, and hence its electrical consumption, drops. To maintain the water temperature, a Climexel heat pump runs for a longer time than a conventional On/Off heat pump. However, because it runs within ranges where it achieves a superior COP, the final analysis reveals that it consumes less electricity than a conventional heat pump. The concept behind the savings achieved by a Climexel heat pump is easy to grasp when compared to the case of a motorised vehicle. CASE OF A MOTORISED VEHICLE Speed Distance Fuel consumption Travel time Consumption for 100 Km 120 Km/h 100 Km 8 litres/100 Km 50 minutes 8 litres 90 Km/h 100 Km 5.6 litres/100 Km 67 minutes 5.6 litres As can be seen in the table above, a car travelling at 90 km/h will take 17 minutes longer to travel 100 km than than a car travelling at 120 km/h. On the other hand, fuel consumption at 120 km/h (8 l/100 km) is much higher than it is at 90 km/h (5.6 l/100 km). As a result, although the car travelling at 90 km/h took 17 minutes longer to cover 100 kilometers, it used 2.4 l less fuel. CASE OF A CLIMEXEL HEAT PUMP Power Pool demand COP Run time Consumption for 3 kw 18 kw - ON/OFF 3 kw 4.1 60 minutes 4.39 kw 9 kw - Inverter 3 kw 5.3 120 minutes 3.39 kw The table above shows that, to generate the 18 kw required to maintain the pool water temperature, a Climexel heat pump running at a reduced heating power of 9 kw, will run for an hour more than an 18 kw On/Off machine but, due to its particularly high COP, it will only consume 3.39 kw compared to 4.39 kw for the On/Off device.

S ERIES EXAMPLE - HEATING DEMAND FOR A 8 X 4 X 1.50 M POOL The heating power generated by an On/Off heat pump decreases as the outdoor air temperature falls. The graph below clearly shows that this type of machine provides more and more power as the air temperature increases. Inversely, the pool s heating demand gradually falls for the same reason. Hence, during the months of June and July, in a European climate, a conventional 25 kw heat pump (at 15 C) can generate up to 27 kw power, even though the pool only needs 8 kw. On the contrary, a Climexel heat pump adapts its power, its consumption and its noise level to the exact requirements of the pool throughout the various seasons. in kw 30 25 20 15 10 5 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Heating power of a 14 kw On/Off heat pump Heating power of a 25 kw On/Off heat pump Heating demand of a 8x4x1.5 pool (48m2) - European climate CLIMEXEL M.Z.I. - AN ALL SEASON HEAT PUMP Supplemental heating or oversizing is necessary NOMINAL POWER (%) Air temperature On/Off Climexel M.Z.I. +15 C 100 100 +12 C 91 94 +7 C 79 84-7 C 54 81-10 C - 77-15 C - 71 A Climexel M.Z.I. heat pump maintains 71% of its heating capacity with outdoor air temperatures as low as -15 C. It is truly an all season machine purpose designed for the heating of covered pools that are used year round and for which it is necessary to maintain a nominal heating power. OPERATING PRINCIPLE: Climexel M.Z.I. heat pumps compensate extremely low outdoor air temperatures by injecting hot gas, stored in an additional bottle, directly at the compressor. The injection of a liquid/ gas mixture at the compressor makes it possible to achieve a lower return temperature while maintaining a high COP. This flash injection ensures that the compressor has enough refrigerant fluid to prevent overheating which would automatically cause the compressor to slow down to protect itself. The decrease in mass flow rate entails a corresponding drop in low pressure that is influenced by the outdoor temperature (the lower the outdoor temperature, the lower the low pressure).

THE SILENCE ACOUSTIC COMFORT The acoustic power of an On/Off heat pump remains constant, even while the machine is running at water temperatures around the set point. On the contrary, a Climexel heat pump adapts the operating regimes of its compressor and its fan(s) to match the actual heating demand of the pool, notably as the water temperature approaches the set point. The evaporator in a Climexel heat pump has a very large surface area: air can circulate more freely, more slowly thus reducing whistling. All Climexel heat pumps (except for the M.P.I. 80M, M.P.I. 100M, M.P.I. 160M and M.Z.I. 160M models) are fitted with Mitsubishi Scroll Inverter compressors, the recognised reference in terms of acoustic performance. Mitsubishi Electric Inverter compressors are acoustically insulated. To hear a Climexel heat pump, you really have to listen carefully. This feature is particularly appreciated in situations where the heat pump must be installed near your residence or that of your neighbours. In order to appreciate the acoustic performance of Climexel heat pumps, a scale is provided below that allows you to compare the tolerance limits of various devices and everyday events. It may be seen that, even running at 100% capacity, Climexel heat pumps fall well within common, acceptable tolerance limits. sound lab library Climexel M.P.I. heat pumps heavy traffic jack hammer air plane take off 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 db(a) audability threshold quiet noises conversation 1 m away fatigue threshold dangerous noises pain threshold dish washer stereo PROCOPI.COM procopi.com Swimming Pool heating CLIMEXEL 8
S ERIES ENERGY PERFORMANCE EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATING THE DIFFERENCE IN COP BETWEEN A CLIMEXEL HEAT PUMP AND AN ON/ OFF HEAT PUMP At full speed (100 Hz), a Climexel heat pump delivers a COP equivalent to that of an On/Off heat pump operating at 50 Hz. However, as the pool water temperature approaches the set point, the frequency of rotation of the Climexel heat pump s compressor and fan(s) will slow, thus generating a significant increase in COP, while lowering the acoustic power.

Coefficient Of Performance. The COP measures the performance of a heat pump in terms of energy (Extract from DTP N 10 - Pool directive pertaining to heating issued by the French federation of pool professionals, FFP). The COP is the ratio between the heating power, delivered as heat to the pool, and the total electrical power consumed by the heat pump. COP = Thermal power delivered to the water Consumed power CAUTION The COP is measured at an air temperature of 15 C and a water temperature of 26 C. Swimming Pool heating CLIMEXEL 9
THE TECHNOLOGY START UP OVERCURRENTS Climexel heat pumps feature an acceleration ramp, a characteristic of Inverter technology, that avoids overcurrents on start-up along with their inherent negative impact on electrical and electronic devices in the home. The machine s electrical current requirement is lower than that of an equivalent On/Off device, this means that cable cross sections and thermal protection can be reduced. ELECTRICAL CURRENT REQUIREMENT Climexel heat pumps electrical requirements have been reduced through the use of electrical current rectifiers. REVERSIBLE HEAT PUMPS All Climexel heat pumps are reversible as standard. A Climexel heat pump can be set to heat or cool pool water. This feature is particularly useful in very hot regions where it is necessary to maintain the pool water at a pleasant temperature, and to lower and maintain the water temperature in aquaculture tanks used to rear and store fish.
