How much dehumidification process heat can a 1 ton dehumidification system return to poolroom?
The extra heat created by the dehumidification process is approximately 35% of the tonnage (kW output), in the case of a 1 ton, the extra heat available would be approximately 3500 BTU’s or 1 kW. For your further information, the size of the dehumidification system is based mostly on, the surface area of the pool itself. The extra heat or Air Cooling (Conditioning) for the room is based on the heat loss of the poolroom and the difference of the indoor and outdoor air temperatures. A poolroom is normally kept at a much higher temperature than in a residence. The dehumidification process works like this: The “return air” from the poolroom (at 28.8 degrees C) is pulled into an evaporator coil and cooled down to about 55.5 degrees C within the system. When the air is cooled, the humidity drains off the coil (condensate water) and usually is piped back into the pool. As a footnote, if you do not send the “condensate water” back to pool the pool water level will drop, you would lose water an
