History and heritage of LJUNGSTRÖM
Over 100 years of engineering excellence driven by environmental efficiency
For more than a century, Ljungström® products have lead innovation in heat transfer technology. Today, LJUNGSTRÖM continues that engineering legacy by supporting customers with OEM products, parts, upgrades and technical expertise developed through generations of experience.
A LEGACY OF INNOVATION
The Technology That Changed Heat Recovery
In 1920, Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström invented and patented the regenerative air preheater that would carry his name. The technology transformed industrial heat recovery by capturing energy from flue gas and transferring it to incoming combustion air.
What began as a pioneering invention developed into a global network of engineering, manufacturing and licensing operations. Over time, those operations evolved through changes in company names and ownership while continuing to advance Ljungström® technology.
