Raypak 140K BTU Heat Pump Pool Heater - 240V - R8450Ti-E-Hc | 016037
The Raypak R8450Ti-E-HC is an elite-tier heat pump designed for large residential pools and high-demand spa applications. Operating on a 240V electrical connection, this unit extracts heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to your pool water, offering a significantly lower operating cost than traditional gas heaters. With a massive 140,000 BTU capacity, it is one of the most powerful and reliable heat pumps in the industry.
The 016037 model is part of Raypak’s "Classic" series, featuring a high-performance Titanium Heat Exchanger that is virtually immune to pool chemistry imbalances and saltwater corrosion.
Features
Spiral Titanium Heat Exchanger: The heart of the unit is a riffled titanium tube heat exchanger. Titanium is naturally resistant to the corrosive effects of salt-chlorine generators and fluctuating pool chemicals, ensuring a long service life and maximum heat transfer efficiency.
Precision Digital Control System: Features a large, easy-to-read digital display that allows you to set your pool and spa temperatures independently. The onboard diagnostics monitor the system constantly, providing real-time data on water flow and refrigerant pressure to ensure peak performance.
DuraSteel Cabinet: The unit is housed in a heavy-duty, powder-coated galvanized steel cabinet. This non-corrosive design is built to withstand harsh outdoor elements, UV rays, and coastal salt air without rusting or fading over time.
Quiet Operation Design: Engineered with a high-efficiency scroll compressor and a swept-wing fan blade that moves large volumes of air with minimal noise. This ensures your backyard remains a peaceful oasis even while the heater is running at full capacity.
Energy-Efficient Performance: By utilizing ambient air temperature, this heat pump can provide up to 6 units of energy for every 1 unit of electricity consumed. This high Coefficient of Performance (COP) translates to massive savings on your monthly utility bills compared to gas or electric resistance heaters.
Automatic Defrost Mode: Includes a specialized sensor that detects frost buildup on the evaporator coil. When necessary, the unit automatically initiates a defrost cycle, allowing it to continue heating your pool effectively even when ambient air temperatures dip.
Standard 2" CPVC Water Connections: Features 2-inch CPVC unions for easy plumbing and high-heat resistance. The universal design allows for simple integration into existing pool equipment pads with minimal modifications.

Notes
Professional Setup Required: This unit requires a dedicated 240V circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Additionally, because heat pumps require significant airflow to operate efficiently, the unit must be installed in an open outdoor area with at least 5 feet of clearance above it and 12-24 inches of clearance on all sides.
