Pressurisation technology

Correct pressurisation for better durability and efficient performance

Production of a pressure expansion vessel from the IMI Pneumatex brand in Füllinsdorf, Switzerland

The correct pressurization of HVAC systems is critical to their performance and longevity.

IMI Pneumatex offers pressurisation technology with superior resistance, connectivity, and flexibility to meet a wide range of applications.

Why is pressurisation so important?

Correct pressurisation is critical to ensure the durability of your system and its energy efficient performance. Why?

Because the fluid contained in HVAC systems expands and contracts as system temperatures go up and down leading to changes in its volume. 
When temperatures rise, system liquid expands and when temperatures decrease, the volume contracts. The increase in pressure due to expansion can cause the safety valve to purge the media from the system. That boosts the water make-up demand, subsequently increasing the risk of corrosion due to “fresh” water intake. Similarly, a drop in pressure can lead to air intake that causes corrosion and dirt, the biggest enemies of water-based HVAC installations.

Therefore, investing in the right pressurisation equipment is one of the most critical choices you can make to safeguard system performance and longevity.

Our 3 pillars for superior performance

Resistance


One of the key aspects that guarantees the superiority of a pressurization vessel is the quality of the bag in which the system media is contained. Our vessels are equipped with bags made from Butyl, a material that provides 5 to 10 times higher gas resistance than any other comparable membranes in the market, making it incredibly resistant.

Connectivity

Another key technology that differentiates IMI Pneumatex pressurisation equipment from the competitor is the connected BrainCube technology which enables full visibility and control of your pressurisation equipment anytime, anywhere – for full peace of mind. Learn more about BrainCube technology

Knowledge

IMI Pneumatex was founded in 1909 in Basel, Switzerland, focused on Swiss-quality manufacturing, innovative technologies and a core belief that system prevention is always better than searching for a remedy. 

Thanks to over a century of know-how it this field we have been able to build a large product portfolio with a clear mission to tackle HVAC system problems before they appear: keeping systems free of gas, dirt, and sludge, ensuring long service life and efficient heating & cooling performance.
