Constructed with an emphasis on unyielding structural integrity against harsh external elements, the AstralPool IHPT168-17kW Top Discharge Inverter R32 shields its core thermal components perfectly. This robust framework empowers operators to extend your swimming season and swim all year round regardless of the outside weather temperature, effectively overcoming frigid atmospheric conditions.
Integration into restrictive facility layouts utilizes an innovative vertical exhaust design option to be installed next to virtually any installation in tight spaces. This layout eliminates lateral thermal wash entirely. Additionally, site administrators monitor thermodynamic metrics utilizing a wifi module and free downloadable Aqua Temp app on your smart device.
Internal thermodynamic behavior is augmented by modern R32 refrigerant, which slashes carbon emissions while improving volumetric heat absorption. The overall acoustic footprint is heavily dampened by a specialized five-layer silencer housing that absorbs resonant vibrations during peak phases.
Requiring a dedicated Single-phase supply, the unit utilizes 240 V to securely drive a 2.64 kW power input. This produces an exceptional Heating Capacity of approximately 16.5 kW with a peak thermal efficiency COP of 16.33. External hydraulic lines interface cleanly via 40 mm connections, processing a vigorous 133 L/Min flow rate.
Features- Employs a premium titanium heat exchanger to reliably isolate and protect internal metals from aggressive aquatic sanitizers.
- Weighs exactly 79 kilograms fully assembled, ensuring a highly stable physical footprint upon the concrete equipment pad.
- Requires a maximum electrical load threshold of 13.44 Amps to execute continuous and demanding heating cycles.
- Features an internal Panasonic compressor engineered for unmatched compression efficiency and operational longevity.
- Maintains an ultra-low operational acoustic profile, emitting just 32 decibels of sound pressure at a ten-meter distance.
- Includes a specialized waterproof LCD screen providing immediate diagnostic feedback and precise temperature calibrations.
Warranty: 1 Year.
