EvoFlat: Take control of energy costs
The Danfoss flat station concept "EvoFlat" comprises an installation, for which flat stations that are supplied from a central energy source are built into each flat. These units normally incorporate a compact plate heat exchanger, which delivers instantaneous hot water on demand and a differential pressure control valve to control the heating flow to the tenants’ radiators.
