R & D

Know How in fluid flow and heat transfer

Experience in furnace industry, our own development department and the use of modern computer tool ensure highest level of technical standard and the background for reliable products. Many patents show the potential of innovation and the ability to find solution for clients.

main objectives are:

best efficiency

minimum NOx emissions even at high air preheat temperatures

usage of ceramic materials

The fundament for sucessfull innovations are:

years of experience in the thermal process industry

close cooperation with customers and suppliers

more than 10 years in house application of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software

3D CAD

well fitted test lab

active participation in national and international research projects

cooperation with universities and research institutes

a large number of international patents
