Hylliebadet embraces eco-thinking with advanced climate solutions

Every part of the 9000 m2 building was built with energy savings in mind, and the bath has various solutions for heat recovery and solar panels on the roof for additional energy. With its efficient heat exchangers and heat recovery for the pool water Hyllie choose Munter’s DanX as their solution, as the energy-efficient solution fits very well with Hyllie’s bath environmental profile.

DanX for high energy recovery

Andersson and Hultmark, the HVAC consultants on the project, had already had good experiences with the DanX swimming pool equipment at Rosengårdsbadet in Malmö. Due to the high air and water temperatures required and the frequent air changes, swimming pools are very energy-intensive. DanX is a compact device that offers dehumidification, ventilation, heat recovery and temperature control. Thanks to the effective cross-flow heat exchanger and the optional heat pump, the energy requirement is extremely low. If there is no need for heating, the excess heat is used to heat the water in the pools. The optimal concept of energy use made the DanX devices so interesting for Hylliebadet.

Frequent air changes require the Proper equipment

Sten Andersson, Operations Manager at Hylliebadet explains: "We expect around 350,000 visitors per year who want the water to be warm and comfortable. At the same time, the air temperature should be warm but not too humid. Each pool is located in separate, enclosed spaces, making it easier to control air conditions and adapt them to specific activities. The 50 m pool is mainly used for swimming courses or for training. There are competitions that can be watched from a large gallery. The water has a temperature of 27°C and the air temperature is set to 2°C above, in this case 29°C. The family area is the most popular with young children and always has a lot of visitors. There is a family pool, a children's pool and a hot water pool and all have different air temperatures between 31 - 34°C. It gets even warmer in our rehabilitation pool: 34°C in the air and 30°C in the water. Water evaporation is very high, and many air changes are required to keep the air fresh. The gym requires completely different conditions. There is no pool and we want cooler air around 20 - 22°C. Here we use a DanX comfort ventilation unit. A leisure facility like ours has a high need for ventilation. In total, the installed DanX devices can condition around 124,000 m³ of air per hour. Thanks to stepless fans, we save additional energy during night-time operation." Easy maintenance - perfect service "The maintenance required is minimal and limited to changing the filter. I'm pleasantly surprised at how quiet the devices are. This makes it pleasant for us to work in the field of equipment. The cooperation with Munters is very good, both in terms of technical discussions and service. If something is wrong, all we have to do is call and the Munters technicians will come to us immediately. We are simply thrilled, both with the solution and with the cooperation!" concludes Sten Andersson. Hylliebadets DanX "Fleet" A total of 13 DanX devices supply Hylliebadet with fresh air. Nine devices deliver air-conditioned air to the various swimming pool areas, a ventilation device supplies the entrance area, a device ventilates the roof to protect the structure, a device ventilates the room for water purification and a DanX3 device provides fresh air in the gym. The following types of devices are used: XWPS in sizes 16/32, 12/24, 9/18 and 7/14, DanX3 HP, XKS in size 7/14 and comfort devices.
