Titan Heat Pumps by Aqua Logic are designed for a wide range of applications. If you are a public aquarium, aquaculture facility, government or university research institution or hydroponics operation we have a unit that will meet your needs.

Aqua Logic Titan Heat Pumps offers the same reliability as our 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.

In the cooling mode, the heat pump works as a chiller, cooling water to the temperature you select. In the heating mode, the heat pump works with the liquid refrigerant (Freon) flow in reverse. Freon absorbs heat from the air as it moves thru the condenser. As it heats, the Freon becomes a gas, which is then compressed by the compressor. The heat carried by the Freon is then released into the titanium heat exchanger and transferred into the circulated water.

These heat pumps feature an insulated titanium heat exchanger and a commercial TRANE condensing unit all mounted on a stainless steel frame which assures you of equipment reliability and longevity.

All units are suitable for outdoor installation. Heat Pumps up to 5hp have a special ”Spine Fin” condenser coil which has proven to have superior heat transfer performance and capacity over traditional radially finned heat exchangers. This style condenser also has a much greater resistance to corrosion in harsh environments such as moist salty air or chemically tainted rainwater.

All units feature a dual stage digital temperature controller enclosed in a NEMA4X enclosure with easy 3 push button programming and will maintain water temperatures in the range from 40o-85oF . The controller can display in either oF or oC and will maintain the water within 1 degree of the set point. Flow switches are installed to shut down the chiller should water flow to the heat exchanger stop preventing freeze up and possible cracking of the outer shell.

Applications:

Titan Heat Pumps are designed to be used in a wide variety of both saltwater and freshwater applications. Public aquariums use them to maintain stable water temperatures in exhibits and quarantine holding. Government hatcheries and commercial Aquaculture operations use our heat pumps 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.

Guidelines:

When you install your heat pump properly you will get many years of dependable service. These heat pumps can be mounted outdoors. One of the most important things to keep in mind when you position your heat pump is air flow. Fresh air flow should never be restricted to the condenser and the air discharged must not be restricted when it leaves the unit. As air passes thru condenser, over time dirt and dust may accumulate so it should be placed where you have easy access to it for periodic cleaning. The unit should not be placed in a location where snows melt or rain water runoff from a roof falls directly on the unit.

I
f located outdoors and the heat pump will be operating in the COOLING mode when ambient air temperatures will fall below 55oF, then low ambient air controls must be installed on the condensing unit. This will allow the unit to operate in air temperatures down to 0oF in the cooling mode only. However with heat pumps the heating efficiency (heating mode) starts to decrease with air temps below 45oF, and it is recommended that you switch to electric or gas heat. If air temperatures will be lower then this, consult factory. Precautions must also be taken to prevent exposed outdoor water lines and heat exchanger from freezing should water flow stop to the unit. If not in use during freezing conditions all outdoor plumbing and the heat exchanger should be drained of water.

When in the heating mode cool air is discharged from the condenser and condensation may start dripping so it is recommended that the units be placed in a “drip pan” to prevent damage to the surface it is located on if necessary. When exposed to colder air temperatures ice may even form on the condenser in which case the unit will automatically go into defrost mode based on a preset time interval.

Titan Heat Pumps require a pump to move water thru the heat exchanger at all times. Correct water flow rates are critical for chillers to operate properly. Refer to the flow rate and pump selection chart to select the best pump for your Heat Pump. Always use an external pump as submersible pumps add heat to the water.

Sizing:

Many factors will have an influence when determining the size heat pump required for a particular application. While standard Btu calculations will give you a good starting point for sizing, many environmental and system design parameters must be considered. While sizing charts can be helpful, one chart DOES NOT work for all heat pump installations.

Sizing charts for marine reef tanks (under 1500 gallons) are based on “typical” setups using the common life support equipment (LSS), such as pumps, filters, and lighting. However, some tanks have more pumps or higher wattage lighting then what might be considered “normal”. This must be considered when looking at a sizing chart. The sizing chart we provide for reef aquariums is based on many years of experience and a typical tank setup.

The sizing charts for aquaculture system, large public aquarium tanks and other fish holding systems are different then that of the marine reef tank. These systems may contain just one large tank or multiple tanks, located indoors in a controlled environment or outdoors in direct sunlight, and every situation in-between. These systems may require less hp per gallon than reef aquariums. Adding insulation and thermal pane viewing windows will decrease the amount hp per gallon required.

For hydroponics applications nutrient solutions need to be maintained at an optimum. Although the volumes may seen small it is spread out over a large area and there is a tremendous amount of heat input from either grow lights or natural sunlight. This heat input is greatest when plants are young but as they grow and start shading their growing trays the heat input decreases. Due to the numerous variety of set ups these systems can be difficult to size.

We provide a questionnaire that you can fill out and return to us for help in sizing a chiller for your particular application. The more information you provide the better.

As always we have a staff of technicians that are ready to help answer any technical questions you may have.
