System S: The Sustainable Solution for Intelligent Heating
The Dimplex System S is a new split air-to-water heat pump system, offering a flexible and versatile solution for heating and hot water generation in new build properties. Created by Dimplex, it is ideally suited for energy-efficient heating and hot water in new build properties, designed as a low carbon, high efficiency system for detached and semi-detached houses.
The indoor unit features plug-and-play installation and simple controls for intuitive operation. Utilising intelligent inverter technology, the system can operate in outdoor temperatures down to -25°C, producing hot water up to 60°C.
The solution uses R32 Refrigerant, which has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), creating a more environmentally friendly option that improves the building's carbon footprint. The indoor unit has a compact footprint of 595 x 600mm and contains everything required for heating control within the dwelling, including a 210-litre hot water cylinder. The system is available in 6 kW and 10 kW output sizes.

- Space-saving: The outdoor unit has a maximum height of 865mm for the 10kW model and 712mm for the 6kW model. The indoor unit has a footprint of just 595 x 600mm and is designed for 'plug and play' installation with integrated features for rapid installation.
System S: Outdoor Unit
Compact and Powerful for Low Carbon Homes
The outdoor unit features a space-saving design and modern colour scheme, allowing it to integrate harmoniously into the surroundings of the building.
Efficient and Powerful Operation: Thanks to inverter technology, System S intelligently adapts to the heating and hot water requirements of the dwelling, remaining operational in temperatures as low as -25°C.
Sustainable Design for Low Carbon Homes: It is designed to use R32 Refrigerant, a low GWP refrigerant with minimal impact on the ozone layer and global warming compared to traditional refrigerants. It operates with a COP up to 5 (A7/W35).
Suitable for a Range of Projects: System S is available in two output sizes, 6kW and 10kW, with a maximum refrigerant charge of 1.8kg. Designed for discrete fitting, the 6kW and 10kW units have a total height of 712mm and 865mm respectively, allowing them to sit below the height of a conventional UK windowsill.

Dimensions and Acoustic Performance
6kW Outdoor Unit: Weight: 60kg. Dimensions: 1008mm (width) x 712mm (height) x 426mm (depth).
10kW Outdoor Unit: Weight: 78.5kg. Dimensions: 1118mm (width) x 865mm (height) x 523mm (depth).
The System S has been designed to be acoustically non-intrusive, making it ideal for projects where noise density is a consideration.
Textual description of sound comparison diagram: A bar chart comparing the sound level of the 6kW System S (37.6 dB(A)) to other noise sources: Bedroom (15 dB(A)), Washing machine (54 dB(A)), Vacuum cleaner (64 dB(A)), Lawn mower (65 dB(A)), and Hand drill (69 dB(A)). The diagram highlights that the System S is significantly quieter than common household appliances and tools.
Textual description of sound emission diagram: A circular diagram illustrating the sound pressure levels emitted by the 6kW outdoor unit at different distances: 47.1 dB(A) at 1m, 41.1 dB(A) at 2m, and 37.6 dB(A) at 3m. This demonstrates how sound levels decrease with distance. The text indicates this demonstrates Sound Pressure at 3m A7/W55.

Technical Data
Refrigerant Lines
The maximum pipe length between the indoor and outdoor unit is 15m. Units are prefilled for up to 15m. The 6kW and 10kW units are prefilled with 1.5Kg and 1.8Kg of refrigerant respectively.
Piping Dimensions: Standard length 15m. For the 6kW variant, dimensions are 1/4" and 5/8". For the 10kW variant, dimensions are 3/8" and 5/8". The heat pump uses flared connections to connect the pipework to the indoor and outdoor units.
Installation: Installations containing refrigerant must be carried out by a registered F-gas installer. The installation must adhere to local building codes.
Water Free: The outdoor unit contains no water, so there is no need to add Glycol.
System S: Indoor Unit
Simplified Installation
The System S indoor unit features a sleek, contemporary design that allows for seamless integration into modern living spaces. With a space requirement of just 595 x 600mm, this compact indoor unit requires a minimal footprint.
A Ready-Made Heat Pump System: It contains everything required for heating control within residential dwellings. In addition to the heating function, all necessary hydraulic components and a 210-litre hot water tank are built into the unit.
Note: A separate 25-litre buffer should be installed alongside the indoor unit.
Plug and Play: In other words, "connect and go". With System S, installation time is reduced to a minimum as all necessary components are integrated within the unit. The connections are made from above the unit.
Extremely Simple Operation: Operation is easy and convenient thanks to the touch display on the front of the unit.

Intuitive Operation
The Dimplex Touch Display
The controller integrated into the heat pump intelligently and automatically ensures efficient and comfortable operation. Thanks to the intuitively designed user interface of the touch display, all settings can be made easily on site. With the NWPM Touch Network Card, System S can be connected to any router via a LAN cable and controlled via a smart device.
For installers and maintenance technicians, this provides access to service data, including a range of performance parameters, help with system diagnostics, and information on outdoor unit performance.
