HEAT TRANSFER

Heat transfer is and remains our main subject One big challenge of the 21st century consists in the sufficient availability of clean air, water and heat. API Schmidt-Bretten realized that decades ago and has devoted its efforts to make our world better both in everyday life and in industry by using innovative technology. Along with the environmental compatibility, for us “better” also means higher efficiency; that heat or cold energy is transferred with the highest possible efficiency level. In almost all industrial applications, that can be achieved with a plate heat exchanger from API...

Our daily challenge and objective is to offer individual custom-tailored solutions with optimal cost-benefit ratio. Longstanding experience - also in sophisticated applications - and the exceptional specialized knowledge of our engineers in the process engineering field have made API Schmidt-Bretten a recognized partner in the industry. In our commitment to this entrepreneurship philosophy, our SIGMA plate heat exchangers offer first-class solutions for the thermal processes in many application areas. Thus they are well suited to practically all markets in which they perform reliably their...
