Hot Water – Efficient Process Heat
Hot water systems are ideally suited for applications requiring efficient, reliable, and precisely controllable heat. Water has a high heat capacity and enables very good heat transfer.
Pressurized hot water systems can operate at temperatures up to approximately 200 °C, depending on design pressure and component ratings. Thanks to the closed water circuit, heat can be efficiently distributed to multiple consumers.
Hot water systems are versatile and can also be excellently combined with waste heat, heat pumps, or renewable energy sources. They thus offer an economical and future-oriented solution for industrial heat supply.
We also supply lower-temperature hot water systems, with operating conditions selected for the required process.
