“Splydro” split air-to-water heat pump

The trailblazing combination of a split heat pump
with a Hydro Tower

Simple to install
Maximum comfort
State-of-the-art regulation
Heating, cooling and domestic hot water
preparation – effortlessly handled with
the Splydro

The secret behind the innovative Splydro lies in the combination of an air-to-water heat
pump in a split design with an advanced version of the Hydro Tower. This enables you to
take advantage of the outside air as a free heat source with minimal resources required for
tapping into it or for installation. As a result, your residential or commercial property can
be heated, cooled and easily supplied with domestic hot water all year round.

The system consists of a compact outdoor unit that can be installed against walls, together
with an advanced version of the tried-and-tested Hydro Tower inside the building. The out-
door unit extracts heat from the surrounding air, which is then conveyed along refrigerant
pipes to the Hydro Tower where it is transferred to the heating water. Both components re-
quire minimal space for installation, meaning you can enjoy a perfectly harmonised system
for heating, cooling and domestic hot water preparation in just a few steps.

= Splydro
Combine all benefits
The Splydro from Dimplex combines the general advantages of
using outside air as a heat source with the specific benefits of the
split design and the comfort of the familiar Hydro Tower. In the
Splydro split heat pump, the air heat exchanger (evaporator) is
installed separately outdoors in an outdoor unit and connected
via refrigerant pipes to the hydraulic unit, which is integrated
into the indoor unit.
Indoors and outdoors
in perfect harmony
The ease with which the outside air heat source can be tapped
means there is no need for any excavation work, boreholes or well
boreholes, leaving your garden perfectly intact. The outdoor unit of
the split heat pump requires very little space, which means set-up
is flexible and installation is very simple. What’s more, the low-
speed axial fan guarantees quiet operation. Since the indoor unit
is installed inside the building, there is no need for costly insulated
air ducts and wall openings or underground heating pipes.
Simply install, connect –
and you’re done!
The advanced Hydro Tower used in the Splydro system provides
you with a ready-to-use heat pump hydraulic system for the small-
est of spaces. It combines a heat pump manager, a domestic hot
water cylinder and buffer tank (ThermoComfort cylinder) connect-
ed in series as well as optimised pump units in a single compact
and space-saving casing. The indoor unit is easily connected to the
outdoor unit via two refrigerant pipes. Thanks to the integrated
components for an unmixed heating circuit with a circulating
pump in the generator circuit and consumer circuit, the required
heating water flow rate is ensured and trouble-free operation is
guaranteed.

The integrated 100-litre ThermoComfort cylinder maximises

energy efficiency during operation and, in conjunction with an
overflow valve, also ensures that individual rooms are heated,
such as the bathroom during interseasonal transition periods.
A separate buffer tank and the space it requires are thus not
1 needed.

comfort
The domestic hot water cylinder has a capacity of 300 litres
and offers outstanding domestic hot water comfort. The maxi-
mum draw-off flow during shut-off-time is 420 litres at a do-
mestic hot water temperature of 55°C. The integrated heat ex-
changer boasts an area of 3.2 m2 and ensures highly efficient
domestic hot water preparation as well as short reheating
times. In heat pump-only operation, domestic hot water tem-
peratures in excess of 50°C are possible.

The inverter technology

the split heat pump – the outdoor unit equipped with an out-
7 put-regulated compressor (inverter) adapts the heat output to
the heat consumption of the building. Depending on the unit
9 type, the controlling range thus varies from 2.5 to 9 kW or 5.5
to 14 kW, to ensure maximum comfort with minimal
10 operating costs.

State-of-the-art regulation
Split heat pump with integrated
heat pump manager
The latest generation heat pump manager WPM EconPlus is
already integrated in the Splydro indoor unit, the Hydro Tower,
and enables the heating system to be programmed using the
familiar menu navigation. The heat pump manager provides all
the functions expected of a modern heating regulation system,
such as heating, cooling and domestic hot water preparation.
What’s more, the heat pump manager can also be used to con-
trol central ventilation systems from the ZL-H and ZL-V ranges.
Suitable for various
operating modes
The Dimplex heat pump manager has been designed to
regulate various operating modes such as heating, cooling and
domestic hot water preparation. In addition, you have the op-
tion of regulating bivalent operation where, for instance, the
pipe heater is replaced by an oil boiler. Renewable-energy heat
generators are also easy to integrate into the domestic hot
water preparation system and/or heating system (bivalent-
renewable operation).
Regulation via smartphone
The Dimplex HeatPumpApp for iPhone and Android
allows you to access your heat pump system at any time,
even when you are on the move.
This means you can adjust the operation
of your heat pump to suit your daily
schedule, including any unexpected
events that may occur during the day. You
can find more details and the download
link at www.dimplex.de/app.
Equipped for the future
The Splydro carries the “SG Ready” label
from the Bundesverband Wärmepumpe e.V.
heat pump association as the regulation
offered is already compatible with the use
of tariffs that vary according to load in a
smart grid, set to be introduced in the
future. Dimplex was involved in bringing about an agreement
between heat pump manufacturers and energy suppliers on
the very first joint communication standard for using tariffs
that vary according to load, and is already using this standard
today for self-generated power.
