Why many rooms do not reach their intended temperature: common mistakes in industrial thermal sizing
In industrial heating projects of rooms, chambers or technical enclosures, one of the most frequent problems is that the installation does not reach the target temperature in the expected time. The usual reaction is usually immediate: “Power is lacking“. However, in most cases the problem is not only the installed power, but an incomplete or […]

In many chemical, pharmaceutical and food plants, industrial reactors need to operate at around 70 °C using thermal jackets. At the engineering stage, a key question arises: is it more efficient to install a hot water boiler that directly delivers water at 70 °C or to generate steam and use it to heat the reactor […]
The production of hot water by steam is one of the most widespread and strategic applications in industry. However, there is no single way to do it. The choice of the right system depends on many factors: required water quality, demand variability, energy recovery, available space, working pressure or overall efficiency strategy. A poorly sized […]
From February 10 to 14, GICONMES will be present in FIMA Agricultural 2026the reference fair of the agro-industrial sector, held at Feria de Zaragoza. You will find us in Hall 4 – Stand A/72-74, where we will present our most advanced solutions in industrial steam and automation applied to modern agriculture. Disinfection of plant substrate […]
Looking to optimize the performance of your electric boiler and reduce energy costs? Steam accumulators, also known as steam batteries, are the solution that many industries are implementing to improve energy efficiency and save up to 20% in electricity consumption. In this article you will discover how steam accumulators work, how they keep steam non-condensing […]
The European dairy industry, responsible for processing more than 150 million tons of raw milk annually, is facing a historic turning point. The traditional reliance on natural gas for steam generation – essential in pasteurization, UHT sterilization and CIP cleaningprocesses –has become a strategic liability due to volatile energy markets and the imminent implementation of […]
In recent years, European organic farming has made a silent but decisive leap forward. More and more nurseries, greenhouses and intensive crop producers are adopting a century-old technology… reinvented for the 21st century: soil steaming, or thermal sterilization of soil by saturated steam. The reason for its boom is simple: it works, it is sustainable, […]
In the food industry, microbiological risk is no longer a one-off issue: it is a structural challenge that threatens product safety, operational continuity and regulatory compliance. Among all pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes stands out for its ability to survive, regenerate and resist even in cold environments. But there is an even more difficult enemy to eradicate: […]
In recent months, headlines such as “Europe to ban gas boilers” or “end of gas in new buildings” have been circulating. While these sound alarmist, they reflect something that is indeed happening: a profound regulatory shift in the way we heat buildings in Europe. But – and here comes the part that almost nobody explains […]
