Hmm, hmm

[Music] We are expanding our business by manufacturing four types of products on the cistre: electric—electric water heaters, storage tanks, a thermodynamic heat exchanger, and solar water heaters. The R&D department, which consists of 19 people, will include project managers, thermodynamic engineers, an acoustics engineer, designers, and technicians. [Music]

The thermodynamics team is responsible for developing our heat pumps, from design throughperformance testing. The test engineers and technicians are responsible for monitoring and interpreting the test results throughout the product development process. The project manager’s role is to coordinate the various development efforts across all teams.

The plant’s main focus is R&D; mechanical designers work on developing new parts and assembling water heaters. Their role is to design these parts for EMAC and to seek out technical solutions. The Fontaine site is equipped witha semi-anechoic chamber and a reverberation chamber, which allow the Titian team to measure power

In addition to addressing acoustic and thermodynamic challenges, the team is also tasked with finding new solutions to reduce noise emissions from our products. All of these tools, combined with the team’s diverse backgrounds and expertise, enable us to develop innovative technical solutions.
