hydraulics from Danfoss HPP present a safe, environmentally-friendly and costeffective alternative to traditional oil-based hydraulics and pneumatics, while its gas turbine segment products support an increased power output and limit NOx pollution thanks to a high pressure water mist injected into the turbines.

Clean and green

The entire product range incorporates the company’s dedication to environmental sustainability throughout all its processes and operations. Mr Madsen explained, “We care about the environment. All the Danfoss factories and offices have established environmental management systems and are certified to the international standard ISO 14001. Furthermore, Danfoss has joined the UN Global Compact consisting of ten principles within human rights, labour practice, environment and anti-corruption. Thereby Danfoss has made a commitment to report annually on the company’s progress and activities related to these principles. You can see how the resulting report – our Danfoss Corporate Citizen Report – mirrors our attitude to social and environmental responsibility issues and the impact of our activities on the communities surrounding our various global facilities.”

A recent illustration of Danfoss HPP’s success can be seen in its major contract with Facebook. Commissioned to work with HVAC specialist Condair to provide high pressure pumps at Facebook’s first European data centre, Danfoss HPP had a strict challenge. Mr Madsen said, “Our challenge was to pump 13,000 litres of mineral-free water per hour at high pressure, without using any oil-based products for lubrication. The massive data centre in Luleaa, northern Sweden needed the most technically-advanced evaporative cooling and humidification and even infinitesimal amounts of atomised oil droplets can be enough to tip the balance between clean and not clean. The expert installation of 26 Danfoss HPP PAHT pumps has meant there is zero risk of oil contamination which keeps the total hygiene intact throughout the centre’s 28,000m2 – and only uses as little as 63kWh per hour to achieve it.”

With Danfoss HPP looking forward to further success in 2014 and beyond, Mr Madsen commented on how he expects the company to perform in the coming years. n
