Indirect heating
An indirect substation is used when district heating network conditions, such as pressure and temperature, do not allow direct connection. When a substation is connected indirectly, a heat exchanger provides energy-efficient heat transfer. It also ensures that the primary network supply side and the secondary building installation side remain safely separated.
An indirect substation is used when district heating network conditions, such as pressure and temperature, do not allow direct connection. When a substation is connected indirectly, a heat exchanger provides energy-efficient heat transfer. It also ensures that the primary network supply side and the secondary building installation side remain safely separated.
In this way, the building application works regardless of pressure or temperature variations in the district heating network (hydronic balancing) and is safe from pipe breaks or leaks.
Danfoss indirect substations are self-contained units that are generally wall-mounted. They can support single or multiple heating circuits, with or without domestic hot water production on the primary or secondary side.
These advanced solutions are also available with an electronic controller for weather compensation. This ensures easy and energy-efficient operation while simultaneously allowing central monitoring and energy consumption transparency.

DSP1 SMALL
The DSP MINI is designed for use in district heating networks, suitable for heating and for providing DHW for single family houses. It provides an alternative solution to an oil or gas boiler. The DSP MINI is designed for heating, domestic hot water and floor heating. The wall-mounted construction saves space which is needed for installation and service. The DSP MINI is designed as a wall-mounted sta tion. Each station is equipped with micro plate heat exchangers for DHW and optional for heating manufactured by Danfoss, which significantly increase substation performance and lifetime. All components are placed at the front of the station, which makes it very easy to access them during maintenance or servicing. The mounting bracket significantly reduces the time required to mount the substation to the wall. The connections are predefined and allow installers to prepare installation before station is available on the site, which reduces the time between delivery and startup.
