Termomax: A Solution for More Energy-Efficient HVAC Systems

High energy consumption and complex installation increase the costs of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Tehnoexport, a company based in Inđija with more than 70 years of experience in the production of technical pipes and HVAC equipment, has developed Termomax, a flexible pipe with integrated insulation designed to reduce energy consumption and overall system costs.

Termomax is based on the integration of multiple functions into a single element. By combining the pipe and insulation, the number of system components is reduced, resulting in easier installation and a lower risk of errors during assembly.

The 75 mm insulation enables a significant reduction in electricity consumption compared to conventional solutions, in some applications by up to three times. In practice, this means that systems require less energy to maintain desired conditions, with reduced losses along the system.

In addition to its technical characteristics, the product is designed for easier transport and installation. Its flexibility allows for easier handling and application across different types of facilities, from residential to industrial systems. The use of environmentally friendly materials ensures compliance with modern standards, as confirmed by the Blue Angel certification.

The development of the Termomax solution was supported through programs of the Innovation Fund and funded by the European Union. This support enabled the upgrade of production lines, technical adjustments, and the introduction of new processes, including improvements in packaging to ensure safer transport and more efficient storage.

“The main challenges in the HVAC industry are high costs, energy losses, and system complexity. Termomax was developed as a solution that directly addresses these issues and facilitates practical application,” said Miljan Tomaš from Tehnoexport.

Following its introduction to the domestic market, the product was also presented at international trade fairs, where the first distribution agreements were secured. These results confirm the market potential of the solution and its applicability across different systems.

Tehnoexport continues to develop solutions focused on energy efficiency, while expanding its presence in international markets and positioning Termomax in the segment of higher value-added technical solutions.
