This Bowman CN980 is a Cupro-Nickel Swimming Pool Heater Exchanger with 980,000 BTUs and is designed for commercial pools up to 88,000 gallons. The CN1000 pool heat exchanger has 1-1/2 inch boiler and 3 inch pool connections. The maximum temperature is 212 degrees F.
The CN-XL Series swimming pool heat exchangers are great for commercial swimming pools. They are ruggedly constructed with Cupro-Nickel tubes and cast iron shells. They can be used in either chlorinated or salt water pools. These pool heat exchangers provide a simplified and practical means of indirectly heating both commercial and municipal pools.
Most hotels, YMCAs, municipal arenas, community centers, universities/colleges and housing complexes use boilers for domestic water heating and other applications. Usually these boilers are oversized and are not used on a continuous basis even during the winter months. Utilizing this excess capacity for heating the swimming pools and hot tubs ensures continuous operation of the boiler which reduces cycling.
The CN-XL pool heat exchangers provide a high surface area that facilitates high heat transfer rates. These units are designed to handle a flow rate of 400 GPM of pool water with a pressure loss of only 3.2 psi (7.5 feet water).
The CN-XL Series pool heaters are not only more efficient, they are resistant to salt water. They heat salt water and chlorinated pools using a central heating boiler which operate with efficiencies up to 95% range. This represents a significant reduction in natural gas consumption compared to conventional direct fired pool heaters (which typically range from 50 to 65%). So ValuTech pool heaters will not only lower your heating bill, but they will also last a lot longer.
