DHP-AX is a complete heat pump installation for heating. It can be supplemented with a water heater and auxiliary heater. DHP-AX is equipped with a control system, which is controlled via a control panel. Heat enters the house via a water borne heating system.
During operation the air heat exchanger is cooled by the energy exchange at the same time as the humidity causes it to become covered in frost. DHP-AX has an automatic function to defrost the air heat exchanger using the produced heat ener- gy.
Auxiliary heat Auxiliary heater is an option for DHP-AX and consists of an immersion heater, which is located on the supply pipe ahead of the exchange valve. The auxiliary heater, which is supplied as an accessory has an integrated power con- trol and is controlled by a potential free output from the heat pump.
