About VHEAT
VHEAT GmbH & Co. KG is a medium-sized company with central development and production in Reichling in southern Bavaria. The product portfolio includes pressure maintenance stations up to 150 MW (also as a mobile container solution), diaphragm expansion vessels, make-up water and degassing stations, heating buffer storage tanks and thermal storage tanks, fine filter circulation systems, and heat exchangers in three versions: copper- or stainless steel brazed plate heat exchangers, bolted plate heat exchangers, and vertical shell-and-tube heat exchangers. In addition to standard products, custom designs and special systems are manufactured; sizing is application-specific using a self-optimizing design software. Materials include stainless steel 1.4301, 1.4401 and 1.4404, copper, titanium and steel. The control technology for pump pressure maintenance, degassing and make-up water supply was developed in-house. The offering is rounded out by factory customer service, commissioning, maintenance, repair, conversion and remote maintenance for own and third-party products in Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and France.
