OVB 500 pool heat exchanger – 145 kW, pools up to 140 m³
| Rated heat output | 145 kW |
|---|---|
| Recommended pool volume – indicative | Up to 140 m³ |
| Material | AISI 316 stainless steel |
| Pool circuit connection | 2″ female thread |
| Heating circuit connection | 1″ female thread |
| Salt water | Not suitable |
Important for sizing: Our indicative recommendation is for pools up to 140 m³. Final sizing also depends on the heat source, its water temperature and the flow rates in both circuits.
Rated output applies when the inlet heating water is 60 °C warmer than the inlet pool water. The catalogue operating point uses 80 °C heating water and 20 °C pool water at the inlets. A cooler heat source can substantially reduce the transferred heat output.
Pool specialist’s opinion
The OVB 500 is a useful option when you already have a suitable heat source and want to transfer its energy to your pool. For pools up to 140 m³, check the heating-water temperature and flow as part of sizing. The 145 kW rating is conditional and is not the output at every operating point.
Advantages
- Separate water circuits keep heating and pool water apart
- AISI 316 stainless steel for correctly treated, non-saline pool water
- 145 kW rated output under catalogue conditions
Points to consider
- Not suitable for saltwater pools
- Output depends on heat-source temperature and flow
Pool heating using an existing heat source
This tubular exchanger transfers heat from the heating circuit to the pool water through a metal heat-transfer surface. The circuits remain separate. Vagner lists boilers, heat pumps and solar collectors as possible heat sources; actual operating conditions must be checked for each installation.
Selection advice
Our indicative recommendation is for pools up to 140 m³. Final sizing also depends on the heat source, its water temperature and the flow rates in both circuits.
Rated output applies when the inlet heating water is 60 °C warmer than the inlet pool water. The catalogue operating point uses 80 °C heating water and 20 °C pool water at the inlets. A cooler heat source can substantially reduce the transferred heat output.
For a low-temperature heat source, have the output checked at its actual water temperature. A larger exchanger cannot increase the boiler or heat pump’s own output. Heating speed also depends on the pool cover, ambient conditions and heat losses.
Connections and key specifications

Catalogue operating point specified by Vagner
| Heating water – inlet / outlet | 80 / 46 °C |
|---|---|
| Heating-water flow at catalogue operating point | 3.8 m³/h |
| Heating-water pressure drop at catalogue operating point | 3.7 kPa |
| Pool water – inlet / outlet | 20 / 28.3 °C |
| Pool-water flow at catalogue operating point | 15 m³/h |
| Pool-water pressure drop at catalogue operating point | 29.8 kPa |
| Heat transfer surface area | 1.37 m² |
These flow rates describe the catalogue operating point; they are not an automatic setting for every installation. Pipework, circulation and control must be designed for the actual system.
Installation and heating control
- Check both circuit connections and available flow before ordering.
- Provide suitable mounting, venting and service isolation.
- Controls must prevent unwanted heating when pool-water circulation stops. Select the thermostat, sensor and heat-source controls to suit the installation design.
- Maintain water chemistry as required by the manual; concentrated pool chemicals must not act directly on the exchanger.
Water compatibility
This stainless-steel model is not intended for salt water. For a salt-chlorinated pool, choose an exchanger explicitly approved by its manufacturer for that use, such as a suitable titanium model.
We can help select an exchanger and suitable controls. Please provide your pool volume, heat-source type, water temperature and circulation details.
