Industrial sustainability –
the topic of our future

At Himmelwerk, we ask what industry can do to effectively protect the climate and resources. Because the future of the Earth is also our future. What can our contribution be?

One of the simplest ways is to save energy. And inductive heating is the best solution for this, because instead of wasting it, it delivers the energy needed …

… exactly where it is needed,
… for exactly as long as it is needed,
… in exactly the amount that is needed.

Would you like to know what you could save? We would be happy to calculate it together with you.

Since 1950, Himmelwerk has shipped more than 19,000 high and medium frequency converters worldwide.
By how much can you reduce your CO₂ emissions per year? Let’s have a look.

Assumption 1: 25% of your converters are still operational.

Assumption 2: They have an average output of 6 kW and thus a power consumption of 7 kW.

Assumption 3: These generators are operational 8 hrs per day and 5 days per week.

Assumption 4: Inductive heating uses up to 40% less energy than conventional methods. Let’s assume 30%.

With these assumptions, our calculation would look like this: Daily energy consumption: 8 hrs x 7 kW = 56 kW

Energy savings per day: 56 kWh / 0.7 = 80 kWh; 80 – 56 = 24 kWh

Total energy savings per day: 24 kWh x 4,750 converters = 114,000 kWh

Total energy savings per year: 220 working days x 114,000 kWh = 25,080,000 kWh

Conversion factor kWh/CO₂: 1 kWh is equivalent to approx. 0.485 kg of CO₂ (source: German Federal Environmental Agency, Climate Change 15/2022)

CO₂ reduction per year: 25,080,000 kWh x 0.485 kg = 12,163,800 kg
