Natatoriums

Our systems feature corrosion-resistant space temperature and humidity sensors designed to withstand the corrosive environments typical of indoor pools. The innovative, polymer-coated modulating hot gas reheat system ensures optimal humidity control without compromising energy efficiency. High latent loads are expertly managed to prevent overcooling, maintaining ideal conditions for both swimmers and spectators.  

AAON systems maintain high relative humidity to enhance swimmer comfort and reduce pool evaporation rates. By warming the air above pool temperature, emerging swimmers remain comfortable, eliminating the chilling effect often experienced when leaving the water. At the same time, our advanced humidity control systems preserve comfort for non-swimmers, striking the perfect balance for all occupants. 

The corrosive nature of pool water and the presence of chlorine and chloramines can accelerate the corrosion and rusting of HVAC equipment and components. AAON’s corrosion-resistant components, including polymer-coated coils and powder-coated polymer energy recovery wheels, have passed a 10,000-hour salt spray test and are specially designed to withstand such environments. Interior corrosion protection options resist chemicals and humidity, extending the lifespan of your equipment and reducing operational costs. 

Natatoriums have high energy demands due to heating, dehumidification, and pool water circulation. AAON’s systems are engineered for maximum efficiency, incorporating features like variable capacity compressors and energy saving controls.

Maintaining negative air pressure in the pool area is essential to prevent the spread of humid, chlorine-filled air to other parts of the facility. AAON systems feature advanced power exhaust and space pressure transducers, ensuring optimal airflow and air quality throughout the natatorium and adjacent spaces.
