Crosswind 65-I Heat/Cool Pump 61K BTU 208/230V

Description

Identification and Platform: The number 017745 is Rheem’s reference for the 65-I-M model of the Crosswind series by Raypak. According to Raypak’s cross-reference guide to Rheem, this part number specifically identifies the 65-I unit in its replacement market configuration.

Capacity and Function: This is a 61,000 BTU/h unit with heating and cooling capability (Heat/Cool). This allows it to heat pool water in cold climates and cool it during summer to maintain a comfortable temperature. Its reference COP is 5.7 under standard test conditions (80/80/80) and 5.3 under low-temperature conditions (80/63/80).

Technology and Efficiency: It incorporates inverter technology, which automatically adjusts compressor capacity based on demand. On startup, it runs at full capacity for rapid heating, and once the desired temperature is reached, it switches to a maintenance mode with lower consumption to maintain it efficiently and quietly. It is designed for ultra-quiet operation, with an inverter compressor and a low-speed fan.

Main Components: It uses R-410A refrigerant, a spiral titanium heat exchanger (corrosion-resistant in salt and chlorine pools), an inverter compressor, and digital controls for temperature adjustment and system monitoring.

Electrical and Physical Specifications: It requires a 208/230V single-phase, 60 Hz power supply, with an electrical consumption of 1.55 kW. The recommended water flow rate is 28.5 to 37.5 GPM (108-142 LPM).

Ideal Applications: Designed for above-ground pools, small in-ground pools, and spas. It is a suitable option for properties without natural gas or propane service, and for those who prefer the efficiency of an electric heat pump over gas heating.
