Danfoss is a leading producer of precision mechanical and electronic components and of intelligent mechatronic devices. The company has modern factories on four continents, sales companies and representatives all over the world and more than 21,000 employees worldwide.
Modern factories on four continents Danfoss has production facilities around the world capable of turning out some 250,000 units each day. The company seeks to obtain its goals with a minimal consumption of raw materials and energy, the least possible impact on its surroundings and the most efficient exploitation of resources. The company s strength in production and quality control are matched by equally out standing capabilities in research and development. Danfoss has pioneered techniques like loadsensing hydraulics, intelligent refrig eration controls, radiator thermostats, frequency converters, CFC-free compressors and thermostats for household appliances. As a result, Danfoss today defines the state of the art in many areas of components technology. The company employs the very latest in quality control equipment. All Danfoss manufacturing plants have to apply and adhere to the ISO 9000 and 14001 certifications international standards that require companies to develop and maintain a quality and environmental management system. Environmental and social awareness have always been on Danfoss agenda. Danfoss joined the Global Compact in 2002, which increased the focus on labour market issues, the environment and human rights even more.

Products of precision engineering Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Controls A comprehensive and highly reputed range of self-acting valves, electronic valves and regulators as well as system protectors and line components for the refrigeration and air conditioning market. These products include thermostatic expansion valves, solenoid valves, thermostat and pressure controls, modulation pressure regulators, filter driers, shut-off valves, sight glasses, check valves, non-return valves and water valves. Decentralised electronic systems for full regulation and control of refrigeration applications are also developed and produced at Danfoss. Controls from Danfoss guarantee that refrigeration, freezing and air conditioning work reliably and run efficiently and economically. Commercial Compressors Large hermetic reciprocating and scroll compressor technologies for commercial air conditioning and refrigeration. The compressors and condensing units are used in a large array of applications in both businesses. This ranges from water chillers, large packaged air conditioners as well as medium and low temperature refrigeration systems for food storage and processing. Danfoss Commercial Compressors keeps you in a comfortable air conditioned environment and ensures the prime condition of food from where it is produced to your plate. Household Compressors Hermetic compressors and fan-cooled condensing units for refrigerators, freezers and light commercial applications such as bottle coolers and display counters. Danfoss also produces compressors for heating pump systems as well as 12 and 24 volt compressors for refrigerators and freezers used in mobile applications and solar power. The division has a leading position within energy utilisation, noise filtering and know-how about environment-friendly compressors. Danfoss Compressors has produced more than 250 million compressors for use in refrigerators, freezers and light commercial applications. Appliance Controls General temperature controls for the home appliance industry. The product range comprises CFC-free electromechanical and electronic thermostats for refrigerators and freezers produced to customer specifications as well as service thermostats for all refrigeration and freezing appliances. Danfoss thermostats keep food at precise temperatures.
Industrial Controls Products and customer specific solutions for industrial monitoring and controls systems based on the principles of pressure and temperature measurement, electrical power and fluid control. Products include a wide range of automatic controls for process control and regulation such as contactors and motor starters, electrically, pneumatically and temperature activated valves as well as temperature and pressure transmitters and switches. Danfoss pressure and temperature controls monitor marine diesel engine performance. Residential & Commercial Comfort Controls A complete range of room temperature controls for use in buildings with water-based heating and cooling systems, ensuring comfort and energy saving. By using individual room controls the indoor climate requirements can be achieved. The products include self-acting and electronic thermostats, valves and radiator thermostats. Convec comfort panels offer entirely new opportunities for aesthetic and energy-saving comfort systems, which give effective comfort cooling and heating to buildings, with no noise or the inconvenience of draughts. Due to the compact design, Convec panels can be elegantly integrated into any building. District Heating Controls District Heating sub-stations, heat exchangers and controls. District Heating Controls including self-acting pressure and temperature controls, electric weather compensators, motorized control valves, shut-off ball vales and heat meters. Central heating and HVAC controls including self-acting pressure and temperature controllers, electronic heating controls and motorized control valves for central boiler controls, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Irrespective of whether it is the energy supply from the district heating plant itself, distribution through the system or the control of subscriber stations, we offer knowledge and products. Burner Components Components for the control and monitoring of oil burners for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. The range comprises oil nozzles, oil pumps, oil preheaters, ignition units, pressure regulating valves, oil burner controls and thermostats.
