The units dehumidify through a 24 h fresh air regulation. The accumulation of odors or
toxic gasous pollutants in form of trihalogenmethanes, chloramines or other corrosion-
promoting substances is reduced continuously. According to the required dehumidifi-
cation demand, larger or smaller quantities of outdoor air are used. The regulation is
performed continuously within range of 0-100%. To ensure this, a highly sensitive
humidity sensor controls the extract-air humidity of the swimming pool in the extract-
air fan chamber. Furthermore, the fully automated DDC control sets the required out-
door-air rate for the dehumidification. The outdoor air is pre-warmed via the recupera-
tor. The compressor unit operates as a heat pump and ensures the residual heat at the
default setpoint temperature. The downstream heater bank is regulated at low outdoor-
air temperatures or in case of heating up.
In the pool mode outside air and extract air dampers are open to ensure a pre-set min-
imum rate of outside air for hygienic reasons according to VDI 2089 to at least 30%.
Depending on the swimming pool humidity requirement the outside/extract air rate is
regulated automatically.
Using an optimal pool or fresh-water condenser a certain amount of excess energy
produced by the heat pump can be fed back into the pool water or a tank.
In the event of overheated swimming pool the heat pump is reduced and the supply air
bypass damper ensures cool air in the swimming pool. The bypass damper is contin-
uously opened to divert the heat recovery facility depending on requirements.
The PPR units are equipped with a reversible refrigeration circuit. Therefore, the swim-
ming pool temperature can be kept constant during the summer time and high external
loads according to the setting.
For both versions, the function of the heat pump depends on the outdoor-air rate. The
technical characteristics determine the running time and function of the compressor.
The compressor is regulated via frequency inverter and is operated via DDC in the pos-
sible working area on a fully automatic basis.
3.2.2 PPX units with double-recuperator
The CAIRpool PPX is designed for various kinds of High Performance private and pub-
lic swimming pools. The series can be supplied with air volume capacity between 750
up to 36000 m³/h. The unit's function is to dehumidify and heat air in swimming pools
in mixed air mode.
The heat recovery is performed via a highly-efficient two stage recuperator. It can be
delivered with/without DDC controls. When using DDC the controller regulates all func-
tions of the system on a fully automatic basis.
