Delta Star Heat Pump Water Cooled Marine Duty

Delta Star Heat Pump Water Cooled Marine Duty

Aqua Logic water cooled Delta Star Heat Pumps offers the same reliability as our water cooled chillers but with the added ability to heat your water as well. One unit handles both the heating and cooling functions automatically in both freshwater and saltwater applications. A properly sized and installed heat pump will provide stable, thermostatically controlled water temperature.

For Marine applications Aqua Logic’s Delta Star Heat Pumps feature water cooled marine duty condensers, making them ideal for installations with an existing saltwater supply. They use seawater to cool the condenser instead of air provided by a fan and motor. Their low heat emission, compact size, and quiet operation allow them to be used in tight spaces with minimal ventilation.

These Heat Pumps are typically used at aquarium, aquaculture, and research facilities located near the ocean and have the ability to pump filtered seawater to the chillers. These are also ideal for use on boats and other sea going vessels. The condenser is made of titanium and PVC making it completely compatible for saltwater applications.

Each unit includes titanium heat exchanger, water control valve for the condenser, digital temperature controller and black ABS cover.

Available in sizes from 1/3hp thru 1.5hp Aqua Logic has a size and configuration to meet your specific requirements.

Applications

Delta Star Heat Pumps are designed to be used in a wide variety of both saltwater and freshwater applications. Home Aquarist and Public aquariums use them to maintain stable water temperatures in display tanks and quarantine holding. Government hatcheries and commercial Aquaculture operations use our chillers to hold brood stock at the optimum temperature for spawning conditioning. Research facilities have long depended on Aqua Logic Heat Pumps because of their reliability and precision in maintaining a wide range of temperatures for their experiments. In Hydroponics facilities our heat pumps maintain optimum temperatures for the nutrient solutions to minimize root dieses and maximize growth.
