The Research and Innovation department works closely with the marketing and development teams in order to anticipate the requirements and technologies of tomorrow. Its research programmes enable CIAT to play a leading role in its fields of expertise and to develop increasingly efficient products.
The CIAT laboratories cover a surface area of more than 4,500 m² and are equipped with test platforms that are unique in Europe.
The Research and Innovation centre is held in high esteem by international research programmes. Partners : CEA, EDF, GRDF, COSTIC, INES, BRGM, CSTE, INERIS, CETIM, SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, GRETH |
Every day, CIAT endeavours to transform its research work into major technological breakthroughs in all its areas of expertise. The group has filed numerous patents, which bear testimony to its desire to constantly improve its products and solutions. |
Asymmetric diffusion prevents aeraulic shock (cold shower effect) between two cassettes. |
|
Purification algorithm combining a fine particle sensor with comfort units equipped with the Epure Dynamics® function. |
|
Condensate drain pan for composite materials whose shape minimises water retention, reduces air bypass and keeps the coil out of water. |
|
Dual-phase distribution system for a shell and tube evaporator allowing the evaporation temperature to be standardised and increased. This new technology is notably used in the Powerciat2 and allows an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) increase of 4 to 6% to be achieved. |
|
This optimisation allows the best evaporation or condensation temperatures to be adapted in real time, increasing the performance of the EER and COP. |
