In addition to integrated heating and cooling via our thermodynamic system, it's possible to add supplementary equipment such as:
Condensing gas module
Direct or indirect adiabatic cooler
Chilled water, hot water, steam or CO2 coil
Electric preheating, heating and auxiliary coil
Many industrial applications require ambient humidity regulation. This involves implementing equipment to dehumidify or humidify the air, such as:
Thermodynamic or desiccant dehumidification
Steam humidification with or without integrated production
Energy efficiency is a key concern for manufacturers. To this end, ETT can integrate various equipment and control features such as:
Thermal wheel, plate heat exchanger, heat pipe, glycol coils
Free cooling management
Managing air flow is essential for proper industrial process operation:
Air turnover rate / homogenization of temperature and humidity conditions
Fresh air compensation (process extraction)
Positive or negative air pressure management
High pressure air supply
Numerous constraints often require machines to be designed for integration into their environment. ETT's flexibility allows for:
Custom dimensions and multi-block design
Reinforced casing
Anti-corrosion treatment of components and casing for harsh environments
Aluminum or stainless steel casing, paint finish
Adaptation to acoustic constraints
Air quality is an important factor for operator comfort and production quality, requiring equipment for:
Particule and molecular filtration
Fresh air management
ATEX (explosive atmosphere) risk management
Recent regulatory developments, particularly the F-Gas regulation, strongly encourage the use of natural refrigerants.
For several years, ETT has been incorporating Propane (R-290) as a refrigerant in various types of machines (air and water-based) such as:
Air-to-air heat pumps
Chillers up to 1.2 MW
Heat recovery chillers
High temperature heat pumps up to 70°C
Special attention must be paid to equipment control to meet manufacturers' expectations. This is why ETT develops all of its algorithms to offer customized operation.
Additionally, the myETTvision supervision tool allows manufacturers to monitor their machines remotely and in real-time.
Strong expertise in the food industry, at the heart of our skills
The French food industry generates an annual turnover of over 180 billion euros, making it one of the most significant sectors in the French economy.
The sector comprises approximately 17,000 companies, with a majority being small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The food industry employs nearly 430,000 people, representing about 20% of industrial employment in France, making it the country's leading industrial employer.
Regulations
Food processing plants must navigate a complex regulatory framework to ensure compliance and optimize energy consumption. Collaboration with energy and environmental experts is often necessary to comply with all legal requirements and take advantage of energy-saving opportunities.
Regulations on air treatment in food processing plants are stringent to ensure product safety and quality. Key standards include compliance with Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and food safety in accordance with HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) principles. Air must be filtered to remove contaminants, with HEPA filters often required in sensitive areas.
Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on food hygiene requires premises to be designed to prevent cross-contamination. Ventilation systems must be properly maintained and regularly checked to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
These regulations aim to ensure a safe and clean environment, essential for food production without risk of contamination.
