TRUSTED HEAT NETWORK PRODUCTS. DIRECT FROM LEADING MANUFACTURERS
Danfoss is a global leader in energy-efficient heating solutions, supplying trusted technologies for communal and district heat networks. Their flagship product, the Danfoss FlatStation Heat Interface Unit (HIU), is the most widely installed HIU in the UK, known for enabling low return temperatures and precise control in residential applications.
In addition to HIUs, Danfoss manufactures a full range of pre-fabricated district heating substations for larger buildings and commercial-scale systems. These compact, high-performance units support efficient heat transfer and hydraulic balancing across a wide range of flow temperatures.
All Danfoss products for heat networks are designed and manufactured in-house in Denmark, ensuring premium build quality and consistency. Their broader portfolio includes pressure-independent control valves and TRVS (PICVs & PI-TRVs), balancing valves, and smart temperature controls, these are essential components for optimising the efficiency and reliability of heat networks.
Kamstrup is a world-class manufacturer of ultrasonic energy meters, specialising in accurate and reliable metering for district heating and communal heat networks. Their meters are trusted across the UK and Europe for billing, compliance, and performance monitoring, delivering precise data even at low flow rates.
Kamstrup offers a full metering solution, including integrated M-Bus meters, remote reading infrastructure, and data loggers. All these designed for seamless integration with billing systems and energy management platforms.
All Kamstrup heat meters are designed and manufactured in-house in Denmark, using automated production and rigorous quality control. Their meters are essential for Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS) compliance and align with Ofgem’s upcoming regulatory framework for heat network consumer protection.
Thermonova is a Danish manufacturer of high-temperature heat pumps engineered for use in district heating, communal heating systems, and hybrid energy centres. Their modular, scalable systems are designed to deliver high flow temperatures even at low return temperatures, making them ideal for modern, low-carbon heat networks.
Thermonova uses the natural refrigerants propane for enhanced sustainability and regulatory compliance. Their heat pumps are designed for integration with thermal storage, electric boilers, and smart energy controls, enabling flexible operation and grid balancing.
All Thermonova heat pumps are manufactured in-house in Denmark, with a strong focus on quality, serviceability, and performance across diverse applications.
Varmebaronen is a Swedish specialist in electric and biomass boiler systems, supplying robust, reliable equipment for both residential and commercial-scale applications. For heat networks, Varmebaronen’s commercial electric boilers are a proven solution for peak-load support, backup heating, and integration with heat pump-led systems.
Their electric boilers are particularly suited to hybrid energy centres where grid responsiveness, speed of deployment, and reliability are essential. Known for their simplicity and durability, Varmebaronen products are widely used across district heating and communal energy systems in Northern Europe and the UK.
All products are manufactured in-house in Sweden, ensuring tight control over quality and materials, with a strong emphasis on ease of operation and long service life.
EC POWER is a Danish manufacturer specialising in high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) units, including the innovative XRGI® BIOGENIC range designed for use with biogas. These systems allow heat networks to generate electricity and thermal energy from renewable biogenic sources such as manure, food waste, and sewage sludge, supporting circular energy strategies and carbon-neutral heating.
Their XRGI® BIOGENIC range is particularly well-suited to agricultural, municipal, and decentralised energy projects aiming to reduce emissions and improve energy self-sufficiency.
All EC POWER units are designed and manufactured in-house at their production facility in Denmark, ensuring exceptional build quality and system reliability. With advanced integration options and intelligent control systems, EC POWER’s CHPs are a strong complement to hybrid energy centres, thermal storage, and grid-responsive heating networks.
