gas water heaters can deliver up to 20 per cent energy savings. The integration of heat pump technology to conventional water heaters allows for energy efficient solutions that extract heat directly from the air and use it as a renewable source to produce hot water, thus Latha Krishnan achieving energy savings up to 75 per cent.

AL HUrAIZ Group has been manufacturing water heaters for four decades. Its flagship brands Everhot and Excel are sold in more than 50 countries across Asia, Africa and Europe. The company is now establishing Everhot brand in the Glasslined segment. The Glasslined Italian technology is used to manufacture water heaters with high-grade steel of 1.8mm thickness. The inner surface is treated with titanium ceramic to prevent corrosion and rust, ensuring hygienic water to every user. Keeping the safety

tional standards and utilise modern technology. Keeping abreast of the latest technological developments in the industry this year, DANA has installed fully automatic online dry powder porcelain enameling (with titanium plus) plant, which utilises state-of-the-art Italian technology to manufacture world-class boilers. With the installation of this ultra-modern conveyorised plant the company will be able to manufacture up to 500,000 boilers per year — making it among the largest manufacturers in the Middle East. The company’s facilities are fully integrated to manufacture the finished product from the ba-
high-density foam insulation, which maintains heat for longer hours. Everhot water heaters are environment friendly, says Abdullah Hamad, Chairman of Al Huraiz Group of Companies.

sic raw materials i.e. steel coils. The process starts with fully automatic coil processing centre and ends with online powder coating and packaging line. Dry powder porcelain enameling (with titanium plus) is the latest technology from Europe and bought to the UAE for the first time by DANA. Porcelain enamel is a glass–like coating, which is fused at 830˚C to create a mechanical bond with the metal substrate. This makes the vitreous enamel layer robust and inert, protecting the underlying steel from rust and corrosion. The titanium plus technology provides an additional protective coating that ensures that the glass lined tank then can work for many years without problems irrespective of the quality of water. Porcelain enamel tanks are widely used internationally and are approved for use in water heaters by BIS, IEC, DIN (German), UL (US) standards. All our water heaters comply with IEC60335-221:2002+A1:2004+A2:2008, which deals with the safety of electric storage water heaters and have an extra-thick CFC-free PUF
insulation. This helps in heat retention and hence 30 per cent more energy savings over the norms. Safety and quality are at the forefront of the company’s manufacturing process. Besides water heaters, DANA group is also consistently adding new value-added steel products to its vast product portfolio. Today DANA group has more than 500,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities in the UAE with plants in Dubai, Ajman and UAQ , which are manufacturing water heaters, water coolers, water chillers, heat pumps, cable management systems, cladding profiles, sandwich panels, metal profiles, pipes and tubes just to name a few. over the years, DANA has truly lived up to its motto “Adding Value To Steel”.
