Our History and Industrial Culture

Ecological Conscience

Over seventy years of history. Two words that tell our story.

Since 1956, ROBUR has been designing and manufacturing heating and cooling technologies with a simple belief: technology creates value when it provides practical answers to real needs.

That belief has shaped our choices, the way we work and an industrial culture built over more than seventy years of research, engineering, technical expertise, responsibility, awareness and continuous learning.

Years later, we felt the need to give all of this a name. We found it in two words: Ecological Conscience.

It is not a slogan. It is not a technology. It is not a product.

It is the principle that guides the way we work and how we see our role as a manufacturer of heating and cooling systems.

For ROBUR, Ecological Conscience is the name of a principle and an industrial culture developed over time. It is not intended to suggest that ROBUR products have generic environmental qualities or benefits.

A Story of Continuous Evolution

Innovation has always been part of ROBUR's journey, but it has never been an end in itself. It is how we find new answers to changing needs.

From Gas Unit Heaters to gas absorption heat pumps (GAHP), from dual-energy hybrid systems to our latest range of electric heat pumps and systems, we have continued to evolve while holding to the same principle: to identify the right solution for each application and respond to its specific requirements.

Technologies change. Needs evolve. The principle remains the same.

Research, Engineering and Expertise

For us, performance must be measurable.

That means research, engineering, testing, measurement and technical documentation. Every solution builds on more than seventy years of experience and is supported by verifiable data, stated test conditions, certifications and technical documentation.

Our GAHP Plus gas absorption heat pumps use ammonia (NH3) as a refrigerant and, for specific models under the test conditions stated in the technical documentation, can achieve efficiency values of up to 174% (read the technical note).

When addressing broader technical topics, we also refer to recognised institutional sources. These include the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), whose report Development of European Ecolabel Criteria for Water-based Heaters examines the main technologies used for water-based heating.

For us, credibility begins with facts: data that can be measured, documented and verified.

A Principle for the Future

Over more than seventy years, the energy landscape has changed profoundly. Energy sources have changed. Technologies have changed. Buildings have changed, along with the way they are designed.

ROBUR has evolved too.

We have progressively broadened our portfolio and developed new solutions. What has not changed is the principle we bring to every new project.

And for us, that principle has a name.

Ecological Conscience.

It has accompanied ROBUR throughout its evolution and will continue to guide the way we work, carrying forward the same approach that has shaped our company since 1956.

 

 

Technical Documentation and Sources
The technical information provided on this page is based on ROBUR technical documentation and recognised institutional sources.

Technical Note

The up to 174% efficiency figure refers to specific models in the GAHP Plus WS range under the stated test conditions.
G.U.E. – Gas Utilisation Efficiency – equivalent to a COP of 4.35 calculated using an energy conversion factor of 2.5.
Actual performance depends on climatic conditions, system configuration and operating conditions. Please refer to the relevant product technical documentation for complete performance data.
