Heating, cooling, drying, distilling and fermenting are just a few of the steps which are necessary in industrial food processing. These processes are generally executed using water, steam or thermal oil. For several decades now, ARI-Armaturen has been a strong partner for this kind of application.

Power plants generate electricity and in some cases also thermal energy. Several very different types of power plant exist. The most common – and best-known – are coal-fired power plants. Since exclusively fossil fuels are used here, there is an increasing trend towards power generation technologies based on renewable energy sources such as the sun, water and wind.

Steel production is a basic industry that plays a crucial role in many national and international value chains.

Autoclave hardening is an important step in the production of sand-lime bricks and aerated concrete. This hydrothermal hardening process takes place in the autoclaves under steam pressure in a saturated steam atmosphere at temperatures up to +200°C.

Despite the age of electronic data processing, paper production remains an important industrial process.

Tyre manufacturing plants use steam in various pressure and temperature ranges, e.g. to heat the tyre presses, apply pressure to the crown and – last but not least – vulcanise the rubber.

Thermal oil heaters and systems are used for heating and cooling processes in a wide range of industrial applications.

Refrigeration circuits are basically comprised of four components: a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator.

Produced from water electrolysis using regeneratively generated electricity, hydrogen is considered the green energy carrier of the future, as no CO2 is emitted during its use. With production costs continuing to fall in the future, hydrogen will make an important contribution to the decarbonisation of the global economy.

District heat is produced mainly by cogeneration in large power plants, small combined heat and power (CHP) plants, waste incineration plants or district heating plants. It can be generated using fossil fuels or fuels from renewable resources as well as from waste heat, and it represents an important instrument for achieving climate protection targets in the framework of the energy turnaround. Cogeneration using combined heat and power enables energy to be utilised in an environmentally...

Energy – an increasingly valuable resource from year to year – is used by the manufacturing industry in the form of heat, for example to heat products or for evaporation processes, sterilisation, blanching fruit and vegetables or distilling crude oil.
