How many BTU's per 24 hour day to heat 17,000 gallons of water from 76 degrees to 86 degrees (10 degree rise)?
I have a 17,000 gallon pool that stays around 76 degrees during the summer. I want to be able to circulate enough heated water (BTU's) to maintain an 86 degree temp. thru the summer months. This question has nothing to do with how I plan on heating the pool (black plastic solar panels btw) but how may BTU's I will need to raise 17,000 gallons from 76 to 86 degrees and maintain that 86 degree water temp 24 hours a day. The solar panels that I'm looking at produce 80,000 BTU's in a 24 hour period. I don't know how difficult this problem will be to solve but I'm sure some engineer is out there that can. Thanks.
BTW, I know a pool will have heat loss at night and I don't plan on running the pump at night because this will actually cool of the pool with the water running thru the panels, so I'm figuring a slight heat loss at night.
At 1 Btu/°F/lb we have...17,000gal x 8.3lb/gal x 10° =
The number of Btu's to heat the pool by 10° will be 1,411,000.
If the solar panels only produce 80,000 Btu's in 24 hours, it's not going to happen.
(I assume it's US gallons..(More if it's UK).
