SPLIT R32 DC INVERTER · Air-to-Water Heat Pump
HPGS-V16HW/ HPGS-V16HN
The HPGS-V16HW / HPGS-V16HN is the absolute flagship of SENSEI’s split-type air-to-water heat pump lineup, delivering a powerful nominal capacity of 16.0 kW (configured for a stable three-phase 380V electrical supply). The system pairs the heavy-duty HPGS-V16HW indoor hydro-module with the high-output HPGS-V16HN outdoor unit. We recommend this ultimate setup for spacious private estates, modern multi-level villas, and light commercial properties ranging from 150 to 200 m². It is the ideal choice for driving extensive underfloor heating networks, low-temperature radiators, and active fan-coil cooling systems while prioritizing high-volume domestic hot water (DHW) production.
MODELS
Year-Round Comfort
This premier split system acts as a high-capacity climate engine certified for stable heating in extreme winter conditions down to -28°C, and highly effective cooling in summer up to +43°C. Operating on a fully reversible cycle, it delivers chilled water for active cooling during the summer months. Driven by advanced DC inverter technology, it controls the flow temperature with a precision of 0.5°C, eliminating drafts and ensuring outstanding thermal stability throughout the building.
Technical Advantages & Features
-
Top-Tier Seasonal Efficiency (A+++ Class): With full DC inverter regulation on both the compressor and fan motors, the system maximizes heat transfer from ambient outdoor air, delivering up to 4.5 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity consumed.
-
Freeze-Safe Split Design: All water-carrying hydraulic connections, heat exchangers, and pumps are safely housed inside the indoor hydro-module (HPGS-V16HW). This completely eliminates any risk of external pipe bursts or freezing during unexpected winter power grid outages.
-
Heavy-Duty Twin-Rotary Compressor: Features a premium dual-stage inverter compressor with enhanced acoustic insulation, offering extremely low-vibration and quiet performance despite its immense capacity.
-
Eco-Friendly R32 Refrigerant: Fully optimized to run on next-generation R32 refrigerant, which increases thermodynamic heat transfer efficiency by 10% while using a lower charge volume.
-
Color Touchscreen Controller: Equipped with an intuitive wired touch controller to easily program complex weather-dependent heating curves, DHW disinfection modes (Anti-Legionella), and active zone scheduling.
Installation & Operation Insights
-
From our engineering teams' experience: For a flagship system of this scale, installing a buffer tank (typically 100 to 120 liters) is mandatory to ensure clean, efficient defrost cycles and prevent compressor short-cycling.
-
We mount the outdoor unit on a heavy-duty floor-standing frame with industrial-grade rubber vibration dampers to completely isolate mechanical resonance from the building's structural walls. Because the connection between the indoor hydro-module and outdoor unit relies exclusively on copper refrigerant line sets (3/8" liquid and 5/8" gas), no water runs outdoors, making the entire installation highly secure.
Best Suited For:
-
Owners of large private houses and cottages (150–200 m²) who want to replace traditional gas, solid fuel, or inefficient electric boilers with a single, high-efficiency green energy system.
-
Properties with three-phase power grids where balancing electrical phases during high thermal load demands is essential.
Might Not Be Suited For:
-
If your home's total heated area is under 110 m², this 16 kW system is oversized and will cycle too frequently, which decreases seasonal efficiency and puts unnecessary wear on the compressor; in this scenario, the HPGS-V10HW / HPGS-V12HN (10 kW) is a much better fit.

High pressure-ratio compressor
High pressure-ratio compressor — up to 13 — with better performance at low ambient temperatures. Renowned GMCC brand. DC rotary inverter compressor. Refrigerant: R32.
DC fan motor
Brushless DC fan motor. Higher efficiency, low noise level
Larger heat exchanger
A larger heat exchanger to match the required heat-exchange area at low ambient temperatures. Flat-type fins improve defrosting efficiency.
Integrated PCB
The integrated PCB for the single-phase unit reduces the risk of damage to each component.
Plate heat exchanger
Efficient heat transfer for both heating and cooling. Compact footprint. Withstands high temperatures and high pressure.
Inverter water pump
High-efficiency inverter water pump. Brand: Wilo Para series. Water head is 9 m for the 8 kW, 12 kW, and 16 kW hydronic modules. CE and VDE compliant, 50/60 Hz.
Expansion tank
When water heats up, it expands and its pressure rises. Without room for thermal expansion, serious problems can occur in the water system, including failure or rupture. The expansion tank maintains stable pressure in the water system. Pre-charge pressure: 0.15 MPa. Volume: 2 L.
