Rate of coolng for 5000 gal of H2O, to find out required heating neede
(OP)
In a closed pool containing 5000 gals. of water, how do I find rate of heat disapation over given period of time?
The pool is 18 ft. in diameter, 3 ft. in ht.
The water must be maintained at least 81 deg. F, at most 94 degrees. using solar panels to heat during daylight, I need to know how much of a tempeture drop to expect over night. The air temp. may fall to 30 degrees at night. If water temp goes below 61 everything dies and I'm screwed.
