 Welcome!

HIROSS was founded in Italy in 1964, with the aim to develop new technologies for the compressed air
treatment and soon became the leader of this growing market. In 1970 HIROSS also launched a new
range of products for water cooling for industrial applications.

In 1999 the Industrial Product Division became part of the domnick hunter Group and this
strengthened even more the strategic position of the HIROSS brand and products worldwide.
The company, now named domnick hunter hiross, has soon become world leader in
compressed air drying.

At the end of 2005 the domnick hunter Group was acquired by the American multinational
Parker Hannifin.

domnick hunter hiross has now the opportunity to empower its technological and commercial
leadership, thanks to the support of this Group which has demonstrated an extraordinary
capacity to grow and excel in every market where it has been operating, in some cases, for more
than 75 years.

The HIROSS solutions

 Drying Solutions
Compressed air needs to be properly treated before passing to industrial equipment.

HIROSS was the first to develop the concept of “air quality”, showing to industries that the reliability of
any pneumatic system begins with compressed air that is both clean and dry.

At the compressor output, usually the compressed air is too humid and contaminated, and at times too
hot, to guarantee optimal system performance. Condensate in the untreated compressed air flow carries
lubricants and forms corrosive solutions, ruining equipment and finished products.

To remove this condensate, the compressed air must be cooled in order to release the humidity naturally
present in the ambient air.

A) An aftercooler combined with a centrifugal separator eliminates approximately 70% of the

condensate. However, the air is still saturated with humidity.

B) A refrigeration dryer can remove an additional 25%, thereby reducing the relative humidity.

C) To remove the remaining 5%, a desiccant dryer is required.

 Condensate Management
Condensate, even in small quantities, can seriously damage equipment and systems; it is therefore
of utmost importance to completely remove it from the compressed air line.

The condensate drain is a vital component in any compressed air treatment system; it must guarantee
the removal of condensate and impurities collected during the air treatment process.

The Oil-Water Separator allows a safe discharge of water after it has been purified and cleaned
from the oil and impurities, ensuring the maximum care for the environment and conformity to
the environmental legislations.

 Industrial refrigeration
Most industrial applications today need quality chilled water with controllable flow rates and
temperatures.

For this reason, closed loop refrigeration circuits are implemented in which the heated water
returning from the system is cooled according to the established parameters.

Closed circuit chilled water systems are divided into two main categories: water chillers that
utilize a refrigeration circuit and drycoolers that use channeled ambient air for liquid cooling.

HIROSS provides both solutions with Hyperchill chillers and Hyperfree water coolers.
Individually or in combination, these two products offer the possibility of simple, smart and
economical management of the challenges presented by the industrial use of water.

Typical Applications:
Product cooling: plastic, rubber, alluminium, steel & similar, alimentary, varnishes, gas.
Process cooling: cooling of: air, combustion fumes, solvents, contact surfaces, work surfaces.
Machine cooling: direct or indirect (chilled cooling oil).
Ambient cooling: conservation of low temperature cells, air conditioning, electronic boards,
cooling tunnels.
Drying, in combination with aftercooler, of: compressed air, gas, air in the food industry,
chemical/pharmaceutical products, varnishes.
Others: thermostatic tanks, ovens, chemical reactors, particular applications.
