Solar Pool Heater Calculation
Solar Pool Heater Calculation
(OP)
Hello all;
Hopefully this is the correct location for this post. I am trying to compute the length of need for black Poly pipe for my solar pool heater. I can calculate the flow velocity and hydraulics, however, I am not sure where to look to obtain information regarding solar heat transfer to the water. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ASHRAE has a chapter on pool design.

The amount of pipe will depend on how much pool you're trying to heat, by how much, and how much heat loss you sustain during non-heating time.
