“For eight decades, our burner components have delivered reliable performance in heating systems worldwide. Today, we are building on that foundation, developing Bio100-ready pumps and HVO nozzles that enable a practical shift to low‑carbon fuels and help our customers decarbonize existing systems, while expanding into precision water-based spray technologies that deliver energy-efficient cooling through advanced atomization.”
The history of Danfoss Burner Components
Burner Components celebrates 80 years as part of Danfoss, marking eight decades of contribution to the company’s development within heating technologies. Dating back to the 1940s, the early development of heating-related components played an important role in establishing Danfoss’ capabilities in precision engineering and control.
The beginning: 1940s
Following the Second World War, the demand for efficient and reliable heating solutions increased significantly. In this context, Danfoss introduced automatic controls for oil burners, followed shortly by its first oil nozzle. These early products laid the foundation for Burner Components as a dedicated area of expertise within Danfoss.
Building the system: 1950s–1960s
In the following decades, the focus was on simplifying and standardizing burner systems. The development of integrated components combining multiple functions, together with modular control designs, improved system reliability, and enabled more efficient installation and servicing. These solutions contributed to establishing widely adopted industry practices.
Efficiency and environmental focus: 1970s–1990s
As energy efficiency became increasingly important, Burner Components evolved to support improved combustion performance and reduced energy consumption. Environmental considerations also became more central, leading to solutions that minimized emissions and reduced fuel waste. During this period, Danfoss extended its expertise into water-based technologies, applying its core capabilities in precision and atomization to new applications.
Expanding capabilities: 2000s–Today
Over time, Burner Components has developed into a global portfolio supporting residential and commercial heating systems. The focus has remained consistent: delivering reliable performance, precise control, and high product quality, while adapting to evolving technical and regulatory requirements.
Today, Burner Components supports Danfoss’ overall direction toward more sustainable energy systems. This includes biofuel-compatible solutions such as Bio100-ready pumps and HVO nozzles, as well as the expansion into precision water-based spray technologies for energy-efficient cooling applications.
Built on 80 years. focused on what is next.
In the same year that Danfoss marks 80 years of its name, Burner Components celebrates 80 years of its own legacy as a core business within the company—continuing to build on decades of engineering expertise and contributing to reliable, high-performance, and future-ready climate solutions.
