The DHP-AQ air source heat pump provides another alternative for house-owners, for small houses as well as large blocks of flats. The DHP-AQ collects energy from the outdoor air to heat the house and produce hot water, using a waterborne heating system. The DHP-AQ also has a built-in cooling feature to cool the home during the hottest days of the year. There is a great interest in air source heat pumps and the strengths and possibilities of the DHP-AQ have been eagerly awaited by many customers.
Development has been focused on high performance, ease of operation and low sound level. “This is the quietest air source heat pump we have ever developed. It’s the quietest on the market,” says Martin Hamberg, Acoustics Engineer at Danfoss. The Global Research and Development Centre at Arvika in Sweden also put great emphasis on the design. The DHP-AQ is designed to melt in with the home environment while giving maximum performance and smooth installation.
Besides the heat pump, which is placed outdoors, there are three accessory packages to choose between. Accessory packages are placed indoors and are available in the following variations:
MINI: Control cabinet with control unit.
MIDI: Control cabinet including control unit, immersion heater, circulation pump and shunt valve.
MAXI: Control cabinet including control unit, immersion heater, circulation pump, shunt valve and hot water tank (180 litres).
“All customers should be able to get exactly what they need. The DHP-AQ has output sizes ranging from 6-36 kW for optimum energy saving and the three accessory alternatives ensure that nobody needs to buy more than they actually need,” explains Lars Bergen, Marketing Director at Danfoss Heat Pumps.
Like all heat pumps from Danfoss, the DHP-AQ offers significant cost saving, is easy to operate and environmental. The heat pump is EU classified as a renewable energy source.
