Classified Refrigeration Units & Air Conditioners

Your partner: Axima Nucléaire

Axima Nucléaire designs and manufactures custom refrigeration equipment (refrigeration units, air conditioners, direct-expansion cabinets) for its customers in the nuclear sector, ranging from one-of-a-kind units to medium-volume production.

Why choose refrigeration solutions designed to meet the specific requirements of the nuclear industry?

To meet qualification requirements and resistance to hazards (earthquakes, explosions, radiation, extreme temperatures, tornadoes, marine or corrosive environments, etc.)
To meet traceability requirements (supply chain compliance, manufacturing and change tracking, etc.)
To adapt to the specific technical needs of each customer (e.g., specific specifications, absence of electronic equipment within the installation, etc.).
