If you own a 1HP FSPA cold plunge chiller and want to cool the pool water from 24°C to 3°C in a 30°C room, several factors influence the cooling duration.
First, the cooling capacity of a 1HP chiller is crucial. While a general 1HP chiller might have a cooling capacity of around 2.8 – 3.5 kW, the actual performance of the FSPA model could vary slightly based on its design and efficiency.
The size and volume of your cold plunge pool play a significant role. Larger pools with more water will take longer to cool down. Additionally, the pool’s insulation matters. Poor insulation means the cooled water will lose heat to the surrounding 30°C air faster, prolonging the cooling process.
From some online data, for small – scale cooling tasks, rapid temperature drops are possible under certain conditions. For instance, there are cases where a significant temperature drop occurred in just a few minutes, but these were under specific setups.
For a 1HP FSPA cold plunge chiller cooling a reasonably – sized, well – insulated pool, it could take approximately 12 – 30 hours to lower the temperature from 24°C to 3°C. However, this is a rough estimate. To get a more accurate time, it’s recommended to check the FSPA chiller’s specifications and consider conducting a small – scale test or consulting with professionals who can analyze your pool’s unique characteristics.
