DBH solution – radiators that work with heat pumps Heat pumps and solar thermal energy generally require much larger radiators as they operate with very low water temperatures that often don’t exceed 35°C. Low-H2O radiators do not need to increase in size when working with lower water temperatures. With Dynamic Boost Hybrid (DBH) technology, the same heat output can be achieved from a similar size radiator compared to a radiator working with a gas or oil-fired heating system. This allows the installation of renewable heating systems without compromising on comfort and aesthetics. Intelligent features • Efficient and effortless heating with heat pumps and low temperature boilers; • Suitable for environmentally-friendly light cooling (non-condensing) in combination with any heat pump that can supply cooling water; • Easy installation on almost all new existing Versatile Low-H2O heating units.

DBH has a simple control panel to adjust settings and modes, with automaticallydimming coloured LED lights to indicate the selected setting. There are three alternative configurations set at time of order: TPT (temperature control) (default); ACO (auto-changeover); BMS (building management system control). TPT configuration (default) – mode button can be used to switch between heating and cooling modes. • Thermal activators run once the water temperature is above set-point (28°C default) and the measured room temperature is below the set-point, speeding up and slowing to achieve the desired room temperature; • Boost mode can be activated where thermal activators run at max speed for 15 minutes.

ACO configuration – mode button can be used to switch between heating, cooling and breeze modes. • Thermal activators run based on water temperature and chosen fixed speed; • Breeze mode can be selected whereby the thermal activators operate independently of water temperature. BMS configuration – DBH can be connected to an external controller, such as BMS or room thermostat, to control thermal activator speed and changeover remotely. Please contact Versatile’s technical team for more information. What is Versatile light cooling? Light cooling (also referred to as “non-condensing cooling”) is a form of gentle cooling whereby the water temperature is always higher than the condensing temperature (or dew point), usually around 15°C depending on weather conditions, and therefore no condensation water is formed. This is an energy efficient way of cooling that is ideal in combination with low temperature heating. The energy consumption is lower than with low temperature cooling systems such as air conditioning systems, especially in combination with a ground source heat pump. Contact: Versatile.
