Understanding your industry challenges
Thanks to its ability to design custom-engineered equipment, ETT has, for many years, supplied a wide range of machines for the nuclear industry, including Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), Atomic Energy Commission test facilities (CEA), and even onboard installations for nuclear-powered warships. The wide range of products available also sometimes makes it possible to install standard units whose quality and reliability are fully proven.
The Energy & Marine Markets department has, in recent years, developed highly specialised expertise in extremely demanding sectors where rigorous documentary control and detailed quality monitoring during fabrication are essential to meet the stringent nuclear-related constraints (including calculation notes, seismic and explosion resistance, tornado, snow and wind resilience, and more).
ETT is recognized as one of the leading French suppliers of ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration solutions for sensitive sites.
These units are the result of several decades of experience in the Energy market and are available as either chilled water or direct expansion units, according to client specifications.
The equipment is engineered to withstand corrosive marine environments, which has contributed to its success along the English Channel coastline, including Flamanville, Penly, Paluel, and Gravelines. Various types of materials and options are available to meet these requirements.
Because site interventions are often complex and costly, equipment design and component selection must ensure high reliability and long service life.
ETT is one of the leading suppliers in this market, through its inclusion on approved vendor lists of numerous French-installation contractors.
Nuclear power plant processes must adhere to strict comfort and air-conditioning standards to ensure optimal installation performance 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.

In addition to the on-board production of heating or cooling via our thermodynamic system, additional equipment can be integrated such as:
- Chilled water, hot water, steam or CO2 coils
- Electric pre-heating, heating or auxiliary equipment
Many industrial applications require regulation of ambient humidity levels. Dehumidification equipment, such as:
- Thermodynamic dehumidification
- Electric auxiliary dehumidification
- Desiccant dehumidification
Energy efficiency is a key concern for industrial operators in markets 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 Team, ETT can compare technical solutions to assess CAPEX over several years.
Managing air flow is essential for proper industrial process operation:
- Air mixing / homogenisation of temperature and humidity conditions
- Fresh air compensation (process extraction)
- Positive pressure management
- Specific fans for high available pressure
- Redundancy management with Stand-by / Duty fans
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
- Specialist coatings
- Custom dimensions to match existing installations for revamping projects
- Adaptation to seismic constraints
- Adaptation to electromagnetic compatibility (CEM)
- Adaptation to acoustic constraints
Air quality is vital for operator comfort and production quality, requiring equipment for:
- Particulate and molecular filtration
- Fresh air 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
• Chilled-water units up to 1.2 MW
• 4-pipe heat pumps
• High-temperature heat pumps up to 70°C
If this refrigerant cannot be used for safety reasons, ETT can offer alternatives refrigerants: R513A, R32, or R454C.
Special attention must be paid to equipment control to meet manufacturers' expectations. Consequently, ETT develops all its algorithms to deliver customised operation.
Furthermore, the myETTvision supervision tool allows manufacturers to monitor their machines remotely.
A range of options with various types of display units (touchscreen or standard) to facilitate maintenance of installations.
