nir-vana innovation network

A German company has specialized in space heating since 1989. From the beginning on, they have been striving for new ways of saving energy. Today, they are one of the most successful manufacturers of consumption-optimized heat supply in large facilities.

The company manufactures energy-efficient infrared heating systems for the heating of large spaces. Radiant tube heater technologies are developed for spaces with ceiling heights exceeding four meters. Those heaters need less energy. They are cost-effective, flexible and highly reliable.
The radiant tube heater portfolio of the German company is among the most extensive ones in Europe. Its heating systems come in a wide variety of performance categories that are designed for different temperature zones and for large facilities of all kinds.
The energy-saving space heaters are versatile and can be used almost anywhere. They are durable in production facilities and warehouses, super silent in showrooms and event locations, ball-proof in sports facilities, corrosion-resistant in washing halls.

In addition, the company offers easy-to-use control systems in order to manage intelligently the heating systems. They are configurable according to the requirements of the company and expandable at any time.

Combining energy-efficient heating technology, intelligent control technology and innovative use of residual heat, the company has also developed an extremely efficient heating concept bringing up to 15% extra energy. For example, this recovered energy can be used for the hot water-based heating of adjoining office buildings, or for hot service water. The efficiency in the overall system increases to a firing efficiency of up to 108 %.
This system is economically interesting not only for new installations. Designed as a module, the heat exchanger can be integrated into existing infrared heating systems as required. This system is Germany's most sustainable product 2012, awarded with the "The German Sustainability Award".

The company is offering distribution services agreements to partners in different European countries. They expect from the cooperation to open up new markets and increase the awareness level of the products and services outside Germany.
