Foreword
An Air/Water heat pump is a highly efcient cost effective swimming pool heating solution. Used and maintained
correctly, this heat pump will provide its owner with years of service.
The Fairland heat pump is an autonomous device, specically designed to heat swimming pools. The machine works
on the tried and tested principles of thermodynamics: using the greatest reservoir of heat available, our world and its
atmosphere, the Fairland heat pump captures heat energy provided by the sun and transmits it to the pool water.
Because the heat that a Fairland heat pump transfers to the pool water is captured from the ambient air, and not
generated like a traditional boiler, the cost of heating your pool can be reduced by up to 80% compared to other
heating solutions.
At some times during the year, it may be necessary to run the heat pump up to 24 hours a day. With a heat pump,
this is not a cause for concern, heat pumps are designed to cope with this type of operation. Even running 24 hours
a day, a heat pump is the most cost effective pool heating solution.
At night, and more generally, when the pool is not is use, the pool should be protected with an isothermal cover. This
will limit evaporation, which is the main source of heat loss, and will thus signicantly reduce pool heating costs.
Operating principle and main components
This paragraph describes how a Fairland heat pumps work. An understanding of the workings of the heat pump
will help you realise the importance of the preparations and measures to be implemented before installing, using or
maintaining your heat pump.
A heat transfer uid (R 410A) travels in a continuous loop through a circuit. As it moves through the circuit, it goes
through the following cycle:
1. capture of calories from ambient air as it ows over the n-type “evaporator”. The fan propels ambient air
over aluminium ns that line the copper tubes through which the liquid is owing; the uid is heated by the
ambient air which, in turn, is cooled down.
2. the uid enters the “compressor”, here the uid pressure is raised signicantly thus further increasing its
temperature.
3. the uid passes into the “condenser” (heat exchanger) where calories are transferred to the pool water, the
uid is cooled while the pool water is heated.
4. the uid returns to its initial temperature and pressure in the expansion chamber and the cycle starts again…
Thus the compressor and expansion chamber delimit two half-loops:
• the half-loop situated on the condenser side is referred to as the HP loop (High Pressure).
• the half-loop situated on the evaporator side is referred to as the LP loop (Low Pressure).
With an ambient air temperature of 15°C, FAIRLAND heat pumps transfer over 4 times more energy to the pool water
than they consume (90% of the energy consumed is consumed by the compressor): these machines have a yield (or
COP - Coefcient of Performance) of between 4.5 and 7.80 (refer to the table opposite for the exact values for each
model).
Obviously, the number of calories recovered by the heat transfer liquid in the evaporator, and then transferred to the
pool water in the condenser, will increase with increasing ambient air temperature. Inversely, the number of calories
transferred to the pool water will decrease with decreasing air temperature.
To ensure correct operation, and in the interests of safety, FAIRLAND heat pumps are
equipped with several safety mechanisms :
• water ow controller, controls the ow of pool water entering into the condenser: shuts down the heat pump
if the water ow rate drops below a certain level or stops completely
• LP pressure switch on the LP loop: shuts down the machine if the gas pressure is too low
• HP pressure switch on the HP loop: shuts down the machine if the gas pressure is too high, the heat pump
switches to fault mode
Start up of the compressor and evaporator is controlled by a regulator that allows:
• the user to choose a temperature (the set-point) to which the pool water should be heated
• automatic start up of the machine if the pool water temperature drops below the set-point (unless ltration
is stopped)
• automatic shut down of the machine once the pool water reaches the set-point

Compressor protection:
• Phase detector (machines running off a 3 phase current only): this mechanism shuts down the heat pump if
it detects the inversion of 2 phases or if one phase is missing
• High T°C protection on the compressor return liner: this sensor shuts down the heat pump if the gas at the
compressor exhaust is too hot.
Technical Data
• Titanium plate heat exchanger in a PVC box

• High and low pressure safety mechanisms.
• Automatic stop in the case of very low ambient temperatures. 6- Automatic defrosting.
• International brand compressor. 8- Easy installation and operation.
• Thermoformed ABS cabinet
• Low ow detection by ow-switch controller
Technical spécications
(1) Air at 15°C and 70 % RH, water at 26°C
(2) If the cable is longer, the cable cross section must be increased. For example, for a PH25L if the power cable is
shorter than 10 m, the cable cross section should be 3x2.5 mm², if the power cable is more than 10 m long, use
a cable with a cross section of 3 x 4 mm². Please note that the next cross section size up from 3 x 6 mm² is 3 x 10
mm².
(3) The remote installed control panel cable may not be longer than 50 m.
(4) Values shown are valid under the following conditions: Ambiant air temperature 15°C. Water temperature 25°C.
Pool covered with
an isothermal cover at night. Filtration system running at least 15 hours per day. Heating season: from May 1st to
September 15th.
CAUTION
1. The models PH18L~PH80Ls operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 to +43 , and models
PHC120Ls and PHC150Ls operate within an ambient temperature range of -7 to +43 . Their efciency
cannot be guaranteed outside this range. Performance data and operating parameters can vary with
changes in climatic conditions.
2. The technical specications are subject to modication without prior notication with the aim of improving
our products. Please see the identity plated afxed to the heat pump for more information.

Safety advice and general recommendations
While the machine is running, some parts of the heat transfer uid circuit can become very hot while other parts
can become very cold. Access to those parts of the machine located behind the panels is restricted to qualied
professionals.
Never poke anything through the slots in the fan grill
Handling:
Handle the machine with care, never leave the machine lying on its side.
IMPORTANT : never lift the machine by its hydraulic connections, this would damage these connections with the heat
exchanger located inside the machine.
