COST COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT POOL HEATING SYSTEMS

S. Venkannah

Abstract

The average temperature of the planet earth is increasing continuously due to the increased amount of solar radiation being trapped in its atmosphere. Experimental models have shown that this would lead to a chain of problems affecting the inhabitants. Renewable energy can contribute to save the planet by reducing the CO2 emission but the cost of a system working on renewable energy is extremely high. In many cases the countries have no other choice than to invest in power stations using fossil fuel.The cost of implementing different heating systems for pool heating is investigated in this paper.
