Heat pumps now run for over
1/4 century.
In 1982, John Cantor, with help from his friends,
installed two community swimming pool heat pump
systems. One at Lazonby and the other at Greystoke.
1 year later he installed another at Askham.
These installations are still in use in 2009,
and they have saved significant amounts of CO2
over the past 27 years.
Sadly, The system at Lazonby
will run for its last season this year (2009).
Having operated for 28 years, it is now getting
quite tired.
In fact the system is in good
working order and fears that it was 'on its
last legs' were unfounded. The system is likely
to live on for a few years yet!
Appeal (April
2010)
The old Maneurop compressors are now 28 years
old. The pool would like to find a second hand
Maneurop Scroll SM115, SY115 or SZ115 compressor.
This could reduce the electrical input by 20%.
If anyone in the refrigeration or air-conditiong
trade can help, please conatct myself and/or
