Fit for the future - Training at HERZ to strengthen knowledge and skills

In the dynamic landscape of building services engineering, continuous learning is key to achieving the highest standards and ensuring that buildings operate optimally - both in terms of functionality and environmental impact. For this reason, HERZ offers individual training courses on the essential topic of hydraulic balancing for both students and professionals at its headquarters in Richard-Strauss-Strasse in the 23rd district.

Numerous telephone calls reach HERZ headquarters every day, from wholesalers to installers and end consumers. They ask for expertise in specific situations that arise in practice. HERZ application engineering staff serve customers with up-to-date information and efficient solutions at every opportunity. Therefore, they are acutely aware of the difference between theory and practice, especially since theory often differs greatly from real-world requirements.

For this reason, HERZ not only supports numerous vocational schools, technical colleges, universities of applied sciences and universities with laboratory stands and products, but also offers in-house training courses on the subject of hydraulic balancing. These training courses give students an insight into their future working world. Given the rapid advances in energy efficiency, automation and sustainability, it is essential that professionals also receive regular training to keep up with the latest technologies, best practices and regulations.

HERZ training courses offer the opportunity to deepen the understanding of complex systems, minimize errors, maximize safety and increase the efficiency of buildings. Therefore, many companies also take advantage of the opportunity for future-oriented investment in know-how of the skilled workforce.

HERZ trainings

HERZ is one of the few industrial companies in Austria, that is also in a position to offer visitors the experience of brass hand-mold casting. Even before the theory, a guided tour of the factory gives visitors a glimpse behind the scenes. From robot-equipped production machines to hand-made molds - there is something to marvel at around every corner.

In the theoretical part, the specialist knowledge and the topic of today's challenges are conveyed with practical examples and real products for solving problems.

This is followed by practical application of the knowledge gained in the in-house laboratory stand. From calculations and valve sizing to the operation and use of the measuring computer, the participants use the opportunity to create a link between what they have learned and its application in real life. Because as we already know: Theory is only half the story.

Hydraulic balancing

Hydraulic balancing is an essential point for efficient energy supply. It is a crucial process to make the heating or cooling systems more efficient and balanced, providing each consumer with the exact amount of heat or cooling needed. Thus, no excess energy is lost, which also has a positive effect on operating costs.

In practice, most problems related to undercooling or overheating of the premises are due to a system that is not properly controlled and regulated. With a precise calculation and adjustment of the flow rates of heating and cooling medium in the various components of the system, it is very easy to prevent these problems.

HERZ products for hydraulic balancing

The necessity of hydraulic balancing cannot be emphasized often enough. HERZ has a wide range of products for building services. The circuit regulating valves of the HERZ STRÖMAX product line are an essential element in the field of hydraulic systems and building services. They are used to regulate the flow in a particular line of the system. With the use of HERZ differential pressure controllers, the pressure drop between the flow and return of the different circuits is monitored and regulated. The automatic dynamic control of the differential pressure together with the preset circuit regulating valve ensures that all parts of the system receive the correct amount of heating or hot water, regardless of fluctuations in supply or consumption.

The interaction of circuit regulating valves and differential pressure control valves optimizes hydraulic balancing and contributes to the efficient functioning of the overall system.

Worth knowing, free of charge and delicious

Training at HERZ can be individually adapted to school groups or professionals. In HERZ's modern training rooms in Vienna's 23rd district, both small groups and groups of up to 40 people are trained in theory and practice.

A freshly cooked traditional lunch is naturally provided for all-day training courses. Appointments can be made at any time at marketing@herz.eu.
