Marine Renewable Energies

ETT is the leading French supplier of air conditioning and pressurisation solutions for offshore wind substations.

These machines are the result of several decades of experience, particularly in the Oil & Gas market, which has very similar requirements and are available as either chilled water or direct expansion units, according to client specifications.

Understanding your industry challenges

Our machines are designed to withstand corrosive marine environments. Various types of materials and options are available to meet these requirements.
As these platforms are unmanned and offshore interventions extremely costly, the design and selection of components require high reliability, minimal maintenance, and long service life.

ETT has positioned itself as a major player in this market, recognised by various energy companies and EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contractors.

With its extensive range of equipment, ETT is able to offer both standardised and bespoke solutions tailored to the specific requirements and constraints of each client, whether for new installations or for revamping existing systems. Our equipment is engineered with a focus on ease of maintenance, reparability, robustness, and sustained performance, even in highly corrosive environments.

The various processes on offshore wind platforms are subject to stringent comfort and air treatment requirements to ensure optimal operation and operator safety. Maintaining a constant temperature is essential to prevent fluctuations that could impact sensitive equipment.
To address these unique site constraints, ETT can provide a fully autonomous, integrated air handling solution encompassing all the functionalities required for managing your industrial environment.

Temperature and relative humidity control

In addition to the on-board production of heating or cooling via our thermodynamic system, it is possible to add additional equipment such as:

Chilled water, hot water, coils,

Electric pre-heating, heating or auxiliary equipment

Many industrial applications require regulation of ambient humidity levels. This involves the implementation of equipment that allows for air dehumidification, such as:

Thermodynamic dehumidification,

Electric auxiliary dehumidification,

Desiccant dehumidification

Récupération d’énergie
Energy savings

Energy efficiency is a key concern for industrial operators in sectors such as Marine Renewable Energy (MRE), where the objective is to generate electricity, not to consume it through auxiliary systems. To this end, ETT can integrate various equipment and control features such as:

Heat recovery wheels, plate heat exchangers, heat pipes, glycol water coils

Free cooling management

Through its Energy Performance department, ETT is able to compare various technical solutions to assess CAPEX over several years.

Machine architecture

Many constraints often require machines to be designed to fit into their environment. ETT's flexibility allows for:

Custom dimensions and multi-block design

Reinforced casings

Anti-corrosion treatment for components and casing for aggressive environments

Marine-grade aluminium or stainless steel casings,

Specific coatings

Custom dimensions to match existing installations for revamping projects

Picto VENTIL-HP
Ventilation

Managing air flow is essential for proper industrial process operation:

Air mixing / homogenisation of temperature and humidity conditions

Fresh air compensation (extraction process)

Positive or negative air pressure management

High-pressure air supply

Air quality

Air quality is an important factor for operator comfort and production quality, requiring equipment for:

Particulate and molecular filtration

Fresh air management

ATEX (explosive atmosphere) risk management

Picto R290
Low-GWP refrigerants

Recent regulatory developments, particularly the F-Gas regulation, strongly encourage the use of natural refrigerants:

Air-to-air heat pump

Chillers up to 1.2 MW

Heat recovery chillers

High-temperature heat pumps up to 70°C

If this refrigerant cannot be used for safety reasons, ETT can offer alternatives such as R513A or R32.

Picto Fonctionnalite SUPERVISION
Control & Supervision

Special attention must be paid to equipment control systems to meet the expectations of industrial clients. That is why ETT develops all of its algorithms to offer customized operation.
Additionally, the myETTvision supervision tool allows industrial clients to monitor their machines remotely and in real-time.

A range of options with various types of displays (touchscreen or not) to facilitate maintenance of installations.
