With a 20-year warranty on their heat exchangers, it is clear that company owner Lisette Brouwer is confident in the performance of her products. “This is unprecedented, no one else in the world gives this many years of warranty on a similar product,” she says with pride. “In the one decade I’ve been leading the company, not a single broken heat exchanger has been returned.” Stimulated by Brouwer’s determination, the company has reached near perfection with

its gas-fuelled condensing boilers. It is the most compact unit on the market – Coopra’s smallest models comfortably fit in a standard kitchen cupboard – and deliver an impressive performance. “For their size they provide an extremely powerful output. The heat exchanger can also heat water up to 99 degrees for purifying systems, or be used to heat water up to steam, which most heat exchangers cannot, with its ability to withstand 170 bars of pressure,” she explains, “so
there are still infinite possibilities to explore in the future.”
A unique design The power of the Coopra boiler is in its patented circular design: the heating element, for which only the best quality stainless steel is used and the most advanced production methods, curves in a single spiral for the water to run through. This allows for an even flow and as there are no corners, there will be no build-up of lime scale and therefore no blockages.
