Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

INDUSTRIAL HEATERS

We manufacture industrial heaters designed for a wide range of applications including process heating, drying operations, and industrial climate control.

Each unit is customised to meet specific operating conditions, ensuring reliable, efficient, and tailored solutions that meet our clients’ exact requirements.
Our heaters are classified based on thermal gradient and heat exchange capacity. From highest to lowest heating power, we offer:

Key Benefits:
Versatility across power ratings, pressures, flow rates, and temperature ranges (thermal gradients).
Custom-engineered designs to meet client specifications.
Clean technologies with low pollutant emissions.

INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING Comprehensive Technical Support INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING PROCESS DIGITALISATION & AUTOMATION TECHNICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING
INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING

We ensure safe and specification-compliant installation, either through our own assembly teams or by providing technical supervision to local contractors.

In both cases, we guarantee adherence to technical and quality standards, coordinate functional tests, fine-tune key parameters, and train personnel for efficient and safe commissioning.

Specialised Technical Installation & Assembly
Direct execution or technical support during mechanical, electrical, and control assembly. Verification against design drawings and engineering specifications.
Functional Commissioning
System verification, operational testing, gradual thermal loading, sensor calibration, and operational safety validation.
Operational Training
On-site training for operators, maintenance technicians, and plant managers: safe equipment handling, alarm interpretation, basic maintenance, and operational adjustments.
COMPREHENSIVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT

We provide ongoing technical assistance post-commissioning. Our team offers preventive and corrective maintenance, fault diagnostics, remote support, scheduled inspections, and continuous optimisation.

All our services are backed by original Kalfrisa spare parts, ensuring full compatibility and performance.

Adaptive Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled plans (monthly, quarterly, annually) tailored to actual operating conditions.
Rapid Corrective Maintenance
Rapid response to critical failures. Remote or on-site assistance, focusing on key components and response time.
Post-Installation Optimisation
Technical review of thermal behaviour and operational adjustments to maximise efficiency.
ACTUALIZACIÓN DE EQUIPOS Y REVAMPING DE INSTALACIONES

Actualizamos equipos y modernizamos instalaciones mediante retrofit y revamping, sustituyendo componentes obsoletos, mejorando el rendimiento térmico y adaptando los sistemas a nuevas normativas.

Estas intervenciones pueden implicar la renovación parcial o sustancial de la planta, según las necesidades del proyecto.

Revamping térmico, mecánico y estructural
Rediseño y modernización de la instalación y sus componentes clave, incorporando tecnología avanzada para maximizar la eficiencia y prolongar su vida útil.
Retrofit tecnológico funcional
Incorporación de nuevos sistemas de control, quemadores, variadores o sensores en equipos existentes.
Actualización o reacondicionamiento de cámaras, intercambiadores, aislamientos, conducciones, etc
Mejora de eficiencia y reducción de emisiones
Integración de soluciones más eficientes energéticamente y conformes con las nuevas normativas.

Modular heaters

Also known as special-purpose heaters, these units are ideal when working conditions (thermal output, temperature increase, operating pressure, etc.) exceed the design limits of standard or semi-standard compact units.
They are large, custom-built installations, designed in accordance with the client’s specifications. These heaters can be installed in-line, elbow, or U-shaped configurations and may include gas recirculation systems.

Use Criteria:
Large thermal gradient for high flow rates
Efficiency above 85% with gas recirculation
Air heating capacity up to 700 °C
Equipped with low NOx emission technology (<25 ppm)
Designed for continuous operation

Start-up heaters

Also known as preheaters, these units maintain catalytic beds above their auto-ignition temperature and provide flexibility to the plant. They enable fast start-ups and allow the system to respond to variations in SO₂ concentration and flow.

The tube bundles are the key component in their design. They serve as a highly efficient heat transfer surface, enabling uniform heat distribution and rapid energy exchange—enhancing performance, reliability, and the service life of the equipment.

Use Criteria:
• High thermal gradient for very large flow rates
• Operational flexibility and fast start-up capability
Air heating up to 500–600 °C
Option to integrate heat recovery units to increase efficiency and enable continuous operation

Compact heaters

Compact heaters offer high versatility in sizes and models, making them suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications.

VT Series: Designed for indirect air heating, typically recirculated air, in paint curing and drying processes. Built to be easily integrated into various supply groups, replacing legacy heating units.

VK Series: Our most powerful indirect heaters, offering the highest thermal gradient — up to 450 °C.

VQ Series: Similar power range to the VK series, but feature a single-pass heat exchange, distinguishing them by flow configuration.
