Heating and cooling at your convenience
Dimplex brine-to-water heat pumps satisfy any temperature requirement
Kulmbach, April 2008. Dimplex, the Franconian heat pump specialist, expanded its 2008
product range in the field of brine-to-water heat pumps by two high-performance
innovations. High temperatures in domestic hot water supply through state-of-the-art
heat pump technology or situation-dependent heating/cooling of a building through a
heat pump can easily be realised with the new Dimplex products.
With its powerful high-temperature brine-to-water heat pump and the energy-efficient
reversible brine-to-water heat pump Dimplex meets the highest demands and the
current requirements of modern building projects.
High-temperature brine-to-water heat pump
High domestic hot water temperatures and modern heat pump technology drawing
energy from the ground can be combined without problems – the Dimplex hightemperature brine-to-water heat pump models SIH 6TE, SIH 9TE, and SIH 11TE can be
successfully employed in any type of building, whether restructured or new.
Usually, when a heating system is modernised, a more efficient heat generator is to be
integrated into an existing heat distribution system. Here, the required flow temperatures
are frequently unknown. However, with the Dimplex high-temperature brine-to-water
heat pump this is no longer a problem: A maximum flow temperature of 70° Celsius
ensures cosy heat in any case. After completion of modernising works the flow
temperature can of course be set lower individually.
In a new building, too, the Dimplex high-temperature brine-to-water heat pump is the
right choice if high domestic hot water temperatures of up to 60° Celsius are requested.
Besides, the combination of high-temperature brine-to-water heat pump and underfloor
heating provides excellent COPs in heating operation.
The high-temperature brine-to-water heat pump is a flexible “allrounder” and can be
adapted to individual customer requirements: It can be used both alone and in
combination with other heat generators for covering the complete heating requirement of
the building, it can supply the domestic hot water or the swimming pool water. Even
connecting several heating circuits with potentially different temperature levels is no
problem.
Reversible brine-to-water heat pump
Apart from heating, efficient cooling of buildings by means of the energy stored in the
ground represents a new challenge to heat pump technology. In many buildings –
especially in the industrial sector – there is more cooling than heating, due to the high
insulation standards of modern building constructions. For this task Dimplex now offers
the new reversible brine-to-water heat pumps (type SI 30TER+ and SI 75TER+) that can

do both depending on the requirement: Heating and cooling with the ground as energy
source.
In highly insulated buildings the high internal heat loads (e.g. the waste heat of electrical
devices) lead to increased cooling requirements. Today, many house builders are
concerned with efficient cooling of these rooms utilising the waste heat for domestic hot
water preparation, which reflects people’s increased need for comfort.
With their reversible brine-to-water heat pump with waste heat utilisation in cooling
operation, Dimplex gives a modern and energy-saving answer to this planning
challenge: at a minimum flow temperature of 7° Celsius in cooling operation the
generated waste heat can either be dissipated into the ground or to a heat consumer via
an additional heat exchanger. This means that domestic hot water or swimming pool
water preparation is possible both in heating and in cooling operation with temperatures
of up to 60° Celsius.
If the waste heat in cooling operation is permanently used for preheating a different
process, impressive COPs can be achieved: 10 times the consumed energy can be
given off as usable heat output or cooling capacity by the heat pump. The cooling
capacity generated can of course be utilised for silent cooling (e.g. by a cooled ceiling)
as well as for dynamic cooling (e.g. by a fan convector). The same elements can be
used – e.g. in the winter season – for comfortable and eco-friendly heating with a
maximum flow temperature of 55° Celsius. So, active cooling with reversible brine-towater heat pumps ensures cosy room conditions even with high cooling loads, occurring
e.g. in the professional field. Dimplex also offers heat pump systems for passive cooling,
where the constant temperature of lower ground layers of 10° Celsius is already enough
for efficient cooling.
Proven technology based on years of experience, Glen Dimplex Deutschland GmbH is the largest manufacturer of
electrically-operated heating systems worldwide and one of the leading heat pump specialists in Germany. The Dimplex
division has been developing innovative and environmentally-friendly heat pump systems for new building projects and
renovation projects for over 30 years. The international heat pump seal of approval guarantees that Dimplex heat pumps
meet the highest safety and quality criteria. With its extensive range of heat pumps for ground water and for ground and
outside air heat sources, Dimplex offers the right solution for every application. www.dimplex.de/en.
