HIUs
Our Story
Still at the heart of UK engineering and manufacture
RBM R & D start work on early hydraulic block designs, and RBM coin the phrase ‘ Heat Interface Units’ to define the project, rather copying the phrase ‘flat stations’. A single plate direct heating HIU is in R & D and models are tested in RBM laboratories
Inta meets with RBM spa to create a new direction and future for HIUs. Work starts on a brand new concept heat interface unit using hydraulic block construction with a unique design electronic controller coupled with a PICV.
Inta take the project to market with UK OEM enquiries. Field trials and first projects won with Inta providing UK support for service and sales.
Inta and RBM collaborate on the next UK HIU design using the same control principle, with support from Zilmet spa, the global expansion vessel and plate heat exchanger manufacturer.
HIPER is designated as the range brand and the unit is sold by Inta and the first of many projects is won and completed with great success.
With the market rapidly changing and new standard to be met HIPER II rapidly evolves. With an eye firmly fixed on the future, electron communications and system diagnostic designs are trilled and HIPER II is launched.
HIU sales have grown and service and specification teams have expanded in line with requirements
Inta iPulse communications partners start to gain specifications
Hiper III (or yet to be named) completes laboratory testing with a brand new Zilmet asymmetric plate heat exchanger. Next step is the testing to BESA regime 3 testing launched this year.
