Danfoss has entered into an agreement to take over the sales, marketing and technical support functions from DMS Wasser-Wärmetechnik GmbH, which is based in Hamburg, Germany. DMS has 20 years’ experience in developing, producing and marketing anti-legionnaire solutions for domestic hot-water with integrated thermal disinfection of the circulating water.

According to the company’s press release, DMS will be integrated into the Danfoss District Heating business unit. Under the name Legiokill DMS markets a series of anti-legionnaire solutions for domestic hot-water. The solutions are mainly sold for use in large residential buildings, institutions, and hospitals. Danfoss already markets a similar product range under the name of Thermoclean, and the German-speaking countries in particular are currently showing an increasing interest.

Health is an increased focus area when it comes to systems for indoor climate control and hot-water. The spread of Legionnaire bacteria is a major issue and the bacteria are a comparatively serious threat to health. Since the solutions for fighting the bacteria are rather new, we see a large potential for development in this business area,” says Troels H. Petersen, Senior Vice President in Danfoss District Heating.
