Household Appliances

Innovative Solutions for Household Appliances:

Our high-performance insulation enables household appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, and ovens to operate more energy-efficiently. Energy consumption is significantly reduced, and usable volume is increased. This allows appliances to achieve top efficiency classes while maintaining a compact design.

Efficient Insulation for Household Appliances

Household appliances need to reliably cool, freeze, wash, or heat — while saving energy. va-Q-tec combines vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) with phase change materials (PCMs) to deliver maximum insulation performance with minimal wall thickness.

The result: more interior space, lower energy consumption, and reduced operating costs — especially for refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and dishwashers. Efficiency, comfort, and sustainability “Made in Germany.”

Maximum Efficiency

va-Q-tec achieves this through intelligent thermal management using vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) and phase change materials (PCMs). The high-tech insulation provides maximum surface coverage, as even complex areas such as compressor compartments or irregular geometries can be insulated with VIPs. This allows significantly better insulation performance at the same material thickness or, conversely, more usable interior space at the same insulation effect.

As a result, energy consumption and costs for the end user are noticeably reduced, while more space is created inside the appliance. This advantage is particularly evident in refrigerators and freezers, but VIPs and PCMs also help reduce energy usage and improve sustainability in ovens and dishwashers.
