How do Klevaheat heat pumps work?
KLEVAHEAT full Inverter pool heat pumps extract heat from the ambient air( atmospheric air near to the heat pump), even in cooler temperatures KLEVAHEAT can operate from -15 C, and use the most advance inverter twin rotary compressor to intensify the heat 1kw of electricity converts into as much as 22 KW of hot water, the highest available. The heat is then transferred to the pool water via a special titanium heat exchanger, raising the water temperature. KLEVAHEAT heat pumps use the quietest fans, special sound cancelling compressors, and 4 heat modes to speedup the heating process and minimise the running costs. MORE technical info click here
