Why
Titanium? |
It's
BULLETPROOF to Chlorine, Bromine and All Other Common Pool
Chemicals!
Only commercially pure titanium tubing virtually eliminates all
chemical corrosion, AND ONLY HEAT SIPHON HAS PURE TITANIUM! |

HEAT
SIPHON IS THE ONLY POOL HEATER EQUIPPED WITH A PURE TITANIUM ,
ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED HEAT EXCHANGER ON EVERY UNIT AND ALL MODELS
and WE GUARANTEE THE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION FREE FOR LIFE!!
PERIOD!!
Although
Pool Heat Pumps offer up to 80% savings in fuel costs and are
generally much more reliable and safer than gas pool heaters,
chemical and galvanic corrosion can TOTALLY RUIN swimming pool heat
pumps!
The chemicals in pool
water, including chlorine, bromine and muriatic acid, can be
extremely corrosive, especially when pools are shocked and very
high levels of chlorine exist or if the owner lets the pool
chemistry get out of balance or if chlorine tablets are put in the
skimmer. Most pool heaters use copper or cupronickel heat
exchangers, both of which will rapidly corrode in this water.
In the case of heat pumps, if
a water heat exchanger gets a hole in it (usually due to corrosion)
and pool water enters the sealed refrigeration system, the entire
heat pump is ruined!! Even if the heat pump is not running, once a
leak has allowed all of the freon to bleed out, the pool pump will
produce enough pressure to force water into the heat exchanger and
eventually into the compressor. Once water enters the compressor,
its internal parts will begin to corrode since they are made of
carbon steel. In addition, the copper tubing in the evaporator will
also begin to corrode, especially if the water is high in chlorine
or acid content (the same conditions that caused the heat exchanger
to corrode.) |

The Heart of a Heat Pump is the compressor, which takes low pressure
refrigerant gas and squeezes it, raising the pressure and temperature in
the process. This hot gas then condenses at the high pressure giving off
large amounts of heat for a relatively small amount of electricity to
power the compressor's motor.
The more efficiently the gas is compressed, the higher the COP of the
heat pump. Both piston and scroll compressor designs have some leaks and
because they can't compress 100% of the gas, there are efficiency
losses. Heat Siphon Scroll compressor models are about 12% more
efficient than piston models.
Heat Siphon's goal has always been to design for the highest COP
(efficiency) no matter which compressor type is used. When matching the
compressor to maximize efficiency in a given heat pump system (the same
heat exchangers, air and water flow and control valves) a scroll will
have a lower heat output compared to a piston compressor picked for the
same system - about 4% more on the 3.25HP models and about 12% more on
the 5HP models.
According to the design performance curves, piston compressors are
actually more efficient at higher air temperatures than scrolls but they
lose out at lower air temperatures. Overall, scrolls are about 12-15%
more efficient than the current piston compressors.
The PISTON model compressors are a classic design, more economical to
purchase and they have a higher BTU Heat Output and a lower COP with
slightly more noise.
Scroll
12% More Efficient - Quieter - Less Parts - More Durable
 
In a SCROLL compressor the gas is continuously squeezed and
theoretically come close to 100% compression, something a piston
compressor can't do because the valves get in the way.
Unlike reciprocating piston compressors with many moving parts,
SCROLL compressors have only two moving parts - one scroll or spiral
orbits a matching fixed scroll. The orbiting motion creates a series of
gas pockets traveling between the two scrolls. On the outer portion of
the scroll the pocket draws in gas, then moves it to center of the
scroll where it’s discharged.
The SCROLL design allows more than one pocket of gas to be compressed
at the same time providing a smooth, nearly continuous compression
cycle. This enables the SCROLL compressor to operate more smoothly and
quietly, with less vibration. The rating for noise is 3 to 5 decibels
less than a piston compressor but our experience indicates for the HEAT
SIPHON MODELS overall they are more like 1 to 3 dB quieter. In either
case - PISTON OR SCROLL - HEAT SIPHON IS QUIETER THAN A POOL PUMP.
Piston
A piston compressor will give
you more BTU's than a scroll compressor if the size of the compressor is
the same. Generally you will pay a little extra when the electric bill
comes though. I have never noticed any difference in reliability. Some
times on big pools, or if you want your spa to heat up quicker, I
recommend the bigger piston compressors. If you want to make sure that
your electric bill is the lowest possible amount a scroll is usually the
way to go. Here are the sounds of some compressors. You can be the judge.
Most of the time I can't tell the difference though.

Analog
Vs. Digital |
|
Digital
All digital models have the Heat Siphon Digital Player
Controller Built in offering many additional features and
options, a sophisticated problem detection system, a 4 digit LED
display and 4 discrete LED lights to provide constant MODE
(POOL, SPA or AUTO-PIC) status and feedback.
The Digital Display shows water temperature, set point and
error codes and alert messages while 4 status LED’s show current
operation modes:
- Green LED for POOL blinks while heating and is solid on
when the pool is at temperature.
- Yellow LED for SPA works the same.
- Red LED blinks for alert or error codes and stays on if
SERVICE is required.
- Blue LED is on if the Player's built in
PUMPJUMP feature for off cycle heating is active or shows
wireless communication is occurring.
DUAL THERMOSTAT for POOL SPA COMBOs - lets you set pool & spa
temperature separately and simply select either one by changing
the MODE.
AUTOMATION SYSTEM READY - Digital Player has an EC MODE
(external control) with screw down terminals built in to allow
remote ON/OFF switching via hard-wiring to all 3rd party
pool/spa controllers.
Analog
Analog Models are lower cost & have a single knob, simple 24
volt series control circuit and mechanical thermostat. Many of
our customers prefer the simple no nonsense design.
POOL SPA COMBO - Analog single thermostat requires manual
setting to pool or spa set-point
AUTOMATION SYSTEM HOOKUP - Simple series analog 24 volt
control circuit allows easy hard-wire hookup to an external
controller. Just turn the thermostat up all the way to 10 and
let the controller turn it on/off.
UPGRADE PATH - DIGITAL PLAYER RETROFIT KIT as an add-on are
available to change your ANALOG Heat Siphon to DIGITAL if you
later decide to go wireless and will provide ALL PLAYER FEATURES

Just like a room air
conditioner moves 2 to 3 units of heat from your home for every unit of
electricity it consumes, Heat Siphon® uses 1 unit of electric energy to
MOVE 4 (or Five) units of HEAT FROM THE AIR which delivers 5 (or Six)
units of heat to your pool water. Heat Siphon® is a stand alone heat
pump designed specifically for recreational water heating (in ground, on
ground or above ground pools, spas, hot tubs, swim spa's, etc.). If you
have an air conditioner, dehumidifier, water cooler or a refrigerator,
you already own a heat pump. All these appliances use the same
dependable technology to move heat from one place to another using
electric power and a sealed refrigerant compression system.
- A unit of electrical energy (you pay for) runs the compressor which sucks evaporating
Freon gas from the liquid filled evaporator tube (4) . This causes a strong cooling effect (just like sweat evaporates from you skin & cools you off). The gas picks up four units of heat (FREE) from the air flowing over the outside of the evaporator tubes. The compressor squeezes this gas, causing its temperature to climb above 200°F (93°C) , Result: Five units of heat added to the gas.
- The hot, high pressure gas flows through the inside of the condenser coil. The colder 80°F (26°C) pool water picks up the five units of heat cooling the
Freon down back to a liquid.
- The warm liquid is forced through a valve. As it drops in pressure, it rapidly expands and becomes extremely cold liquid . This liquid flows back into the evaporator at 4 where it repeats the cycle.

Heat
Siphon History |
| HEAT SIPHON HISTORY - 1982 - The first
Heat Siphon made was a 3.25HP MODEL with a Piston compressor and
the classic Analog 24volt control system. That was in August,
1982. Over 20 years later the Analog Heat Siphon still lives on.
During this same year the first digital watch was only 10 years
old when the first Heat Siphon (Analog of course) was made.
Digital was in its infancy - just 12 months before on August 12,
1981 the IBM PC was introduced. The first Heat Siphon also
predates the Apple Macintosh computer which would be introduced
18 months later in the now famous January 1984 Super Bowl
commercial.
1983 - The First Heat Siphon used the classic COPELAND CRK model
3.25HP PISTON compressor. It was the highest efficiency
compressor available at that time. Scroll compressors would not
be mass produced until Copeland introduced the scroll compressor
in the late 1980's. In 1992 HEAT SIPHON shipped the first scroll
compressor equipped Swimming Pool Heat Pump in the USA.
