Vahterus’ experience in refrigeration and heat-pump systems is far-reaching. However, the demand for heat pumps has increased dramatically in recent years and more research and development is needed within the field. There is a need for higher temperatures, and new refrigerants are being introduced into improved systems.

Welding is at the core of Vahterus’ innovation and one of the most important processes in the building of Plate & Shell heat exchangers. To guarantee continuous production, Vahterus employs 105 welders and welding operators, and is constantly recruiting more.

Heat pumps offer energy efficient cooling and heating, but their environmental impact is more complex. The sustainability of a heat pump cannot be defined without taking into account the refrigerant used in it.

Utilising fully welded heat-transfer technology and Vahterus' separating components, the Vahterus PSHE Separtaing Gas Cooler combines heat transfer and gas separation functions in one compact solution.

Kapp is an unconventional and decisive engineering agency operating in the field of heat transfer. The company was founded by Tjark de Lange in 1997 in Spijkenisse, the Netherlands, and is one of Vahterus’ earliest partners.

Testing company Dekra ensures reliably and impartially that Vahterus heat exchangers meet all safety requirements.

At the end of 2009, technicians at DONG’s combined heat and power plant (acquired by VEKS in May 2012), in Köge, Denmark, contacted one of our distributors about the replacement of an existing heat exchanger. Together, they found great potential for energy saving.

Tobias Häggblom works as a Business Director responsible for our Energy team. In his daily work, he enjoys rising to a challenge instead of giving up and finds meaning in working for a company with sound values.

Vahterus provides Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger design for building-heat packages manufactured by Preston Phipps. The compact design makes it possible to manufacture skid assemblies that can handle large loads and take up a much smaller footprint.

In September 2019, Vahterus supplied a critical-charge combined ice-rink chiller, to Ultimate Fabrication Inc, located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The new cooling system was designed with an environmental gain in mind, not only by switching from R-22 to ammonia, but also by maximising electrical and thermal efficiency. The Vahterus PSHE Combined Chiller (a chiller with an integrated separator in one shell) was a key component in the upgrade project of the NHL and studio-size ice rinks in the Cabin John Ice Arena.
