Heat Interface Unit?
A Heat Interface Unit (HIU) is a compact heating interface installed in an individual apartment or dwelling and connected to a central heating or district heating network.
Instead of installing an individual boiler in every apartment, the central energy source supplies thermal energy through a primary heating network.
The HIU receives this energy and controls its distribution according to the apartment's heating and domestic hot water requirements.
Depending on the system design, an HIU can provide:
- Apartment space heating
- Domestic hot water
- Individual temperature control
- Heat metering
- Hot water metering
- Flow control
- Temperature control
- Smart room thermostat integration
- Building automation
- Remote monitoring
- Energy management
In international markets, the same type of product may also be called a:
Heat Interface Unit, HIU, Apartment HIU, Flat Station, Heat Substation, District Heating Substation or Apartment Heat Station.
Baypayo develops these technologies for residential central heating applications.
Heat Interface Unit Product Range
Baypayo manufactures and develops different Heat Interface Unit configurations according to the requirements of the building and heating system.

Radiator Heat Interface Unit
The Baypayo Radiator Heat Interface Unit is designed for apartments using radiator-based central heating.
Radiator heating systems require appropriate flow temperature, differential pressure, hydraulic balancing and heat transfer capacity.
Baypayo develops radiator HIU solutions according to the technical requirements of the project.
The system can incorporate:
- Radiator heating
- Domestic hot water
- Heat metering
- Hot water metering
- Room thermostat
- Motorised valves

Indirect Heat Interface Unit
The Baypayo Indirect Heat Interface Unit is designed for systems where the primary heating circuit and the apartment heating circuit need to be hydraulically separated.
The separation is achieved through a heat exchanger.
This configuration can be particularly useful where the primary and secondary systems operate under different hydraulic or operating conditions.
An indirect HIU can include:
- Plate heat exchanger
- Control valves
- Temperature sensors
- Flow control
- Pressure control
- Heat meter
- Room thermostat

The exact configuration is determined according to the project's hydraulic design and technical specifications.
As a manufacturer, Baypayo can develop and configure indirect Heat Interface Unit solutions according to project requirements.
8-Pipe Heat Interface Unit
Modern residential developments increasingly require both heating and cooling.
For these projects, Baypayo develops 8-Pipe Heat Interface Unit solutions designed to manage more complex heating and cooling requirements.
An 8-pipe configuration can be designed according to the project's requirements for:
- Heating
- Cooling
- Domestic hot water
- Primary flow and return
- Secondary circuits
- Control
- Energy measurement
The exact connection arrangement depends on the hydraulic design of the building.
An 8-pipe HIU can therefore be considered for residential developments where heating and cooling are required through a central energy system.
9-Pipe Heat Interface Unit
The Baypayo 9-Pipe Heat Interface Unit is designed for projects requiring a more comprehensive heating, cooling and domestic hot water interface.
A 9-pipe configuration can accommodate additional hydraulic connections required by complex central energy systems.
Typical applications may include:
- Residential towers
- Luxury apartments
- Large housing complexes
- Mixed-use developments
- Central heating and cooling systems
- District energy projects
The number of pipes is not by itself an indicator of product quality.
The correct configuration must be determined according to the project's heating, cooling, domestic hot water and hydraulic requirements.
Baypayo's advantage is the ability to develop different configurations as a manufacturer and technology developer.
High-Quality Heat Interface Unit Technology
An HIU is not a short-term building component.

A warranty is an important factor when selecting an HIU manufacturer, but long-term technical support is equally important.
An apartment heating system may remain in operation for many years after the original installation.
Therefore, customers should consider not only:
“How long is the warranty?”
but also:
“Can I obtain technical service and spare parts after the warranty period?”
Baypayo's service and spare parts infrastructure is designed to support the long-term operation of its products.
This approach makes the Baypayo HIU a long-term heating solution rather than simply a product supplied at the construction stage.
