- Cooling of machine coolants
- Engine test benches
- Tempering of surface treatment baths
More on the function of heat exchangers in automotive production
Automotive plants face major challenges when it comes to heat transfer. Machines for shaping materials and presses for manufacturing body parts require efficient cooling of the hydraulic oils used, usually with water.
In order to maximize the mechanical strength of certain components, they must be processed by thermal treatment and hardening with quenching oils. It is important to cool the oils and keep the temperature level in the quenching baths constant.
Our SIGMA plate heat exchangers are used worldwide in the automotive industry and have proven to be extremely reliable and effective in these critical areas of vehicle and parts production.
Heat exchanger for District heating and cooling
- Decoupling thermal energy in district heating transfer stations
- Distribution of cold water in environmental conditioning systems
- Heat recovery from product waste heat
- Heating domestic hot water
- Heating swimming pool water
- System separation in solar energy systems
- System separation of underfloor heating systems
- Conversion of thermal energy in domestic heat transfer stations
More on the function of heat exchangers in district heating and cooling
Our SIGMA plate heat exchangers are ideal for use in the main transfer stations of district heating networks, where high heat transfer capacities play a decisive role. House transfer stations for space or underfloor heating and domestic hot water heating generally require smaller plate heat exchangers, which can be sealed, brazed or welded.

- Condenser or system insulators
- Geothermal energy
- Ground source or water source heat pumps (air-to-air heat exchanger)
- Hydronic applications
- Pressure separator
- Thermal storage
- Water saver (free cooling)
