Heat pumps
Heat pump DEFRO DHP PREMIUM HF
DESCRIPTION
The first Polish plug-in type heat pump
The electrical connection is really simple and quick. It requires connection of external unit with hydromodule using the dedicated conductor supplied with the heat pump and then the connection of the hydromodule to the plug-in
socket using a cable with a plug, which is also supplied in the set. It reduces the risk of errors during connection and considerably reduces assembly time.
Defro DHP PREMIUM is the latest generation of the monoblock air/water heat pump intended for Polish climatic conditions. Designed and manufactured in Poland by the largest producer of heating equipment with 100% national capital. The equipment has been tested by scientists from the AGH University of Science and Technology.

Technology
Design of external unit DHP PREMIUM
- Fan - The task of the fan is to force air flow through the evaporator. The blades of the fan have cut-outs at the tips, so-called “owl feathers”, to reduce the noise.
- Evaporator - Evaporator in form of finned pack heat exchanger is intended for receiving the free heat energy from the ambient air flowing the refrigerant (R290 - propane). This is possible due to phase transition of propane from liquid to gas in low outdoor temperatures. Evaporating low-pressure refrigerant takes the heat from the environmen (ambient air) and cools it down.
- 3. Scroll compressor - Gaseous refrigerant is sucked by the compressor from the evaporator. It increases its pressure, what results in simultaneous increase in its temperature. The compressor is installed on special “floating tray” separated from the structure using vibration dampeners and with thermal insulation. DHP Premium uses the highest quality scroll compressor, Emerson Copeland Scroll intended for operation with R290 refrigerant.
- 4. Condenser- Hot gaseous refrigerant is led to the condenser (in form of the plate heat exchanger). Here the heat is transferred from the hot gas to the heating water. Condensing propane transfers to the heating system a heat taken previously in the evaporator and compressor.
- Electronic expansion valve - After heat dissipation in the condenser the cooled liquid heat transfer medium is led to the expansion valve. Here the pressure and temperature are reduced. The expansion valve controls optimum amounts of refrigerant led to the evaporator. Electronic expansion valve used in DHP Premium gives the greatest opportunities among the solutions available on the market. It allows obtaining the relatively high COP for the full range of operating temperatures.
- Safety valve - Safety valve 2.5 bar is installed on water side on outlet from the condenser. It protects the system against penetration of refrigerant (propane) to the heating circuit and additionally it protects the plate heat exchanger against damage if the water freezes inside the heating circuit.
- Refrigerating cycle controller - Controller responsible for operation of refrigerating cycle is placed in special chamber of the external unit.
- Drip tray - is intended for collection and drainage of water coming from evaporator defrosting. It is made of stainless steel and aluminium and has thermal insulation. A system of pipes with hot heat transfer medium is used as a protection against freezing. Therefore, it is not required to use an additional electric heating cable. The above-mentioned components are located in the enclosure dedicated for operation in extreme weather conditions. To stabilize the operation and ensure maximum soundproofing, the design has been designed and made of the highest quality materials. The enclosure is soundproofed and thermally insulated. The supports are fixed to special assembly profiles to ensure precise levelling of the device.
Hydromodules HF
HF and HB hydromodules have been factory equipped in the electrical and hydraulic components ensuring quick and easy connection to the mains and heating system reducing the risk of errors. Weather compensated control, management of 2 heating circuits (1 direct, 1 mixed), dhw control, cooling control as a standard. Quick access to preview of heat pumps operation (including cooling parameters) also via the application and website allows quick response of the service, diagnosis of errors and removal of faults. The internal units consist of the following components:
