R&D Capabilities
TCF’s state-of-the-art testing facility is maintained as an
Air Moving & Control Association (AMCA) Accredited
Laboratory for air performance testing (per AMCA
Standard 210), induced airflow performance testing (per
AMCA Standard 260), inlet and outlet sound testing
(per AMCA Standard 300), and is a member of the
Underwriters Laboratories’ (UL) Client Test Data Program
(CTDP). We conduct numerous tests for quality assurance,
acoustics, airflow, reliability, vibration, product certification
and product safety. All UL test standards that the TCF
laboratory is listed for are witnessed annually by UL
auditors.
Our custom-designed data acquisition systems display
results in real time. This eliminates human error and
bias while allowing for rapid and accurate testing. As
required by AMCA’s Laboratory Accreditation Program,
TCF’s results are periodically compared with tests of
the same fan’s performance in the AMCA laboratory to
verify the accuracy of the results. In addition, we are one
of the few sound labs in the country qualified for both
broadband sound and pure tones.
TCF is continuously upgrading its testing capabilities
and equipment. Recent enhancements include a new
jet fan testing chamber. The new high-pressure chamber
utilizes a state-of-the-art National Instruments data
acquisition system and a PXI 1010 PC Chassis that ties
in all of the transducers and data acquisition cards. This
new system meets and/or exceeds all AMCA/ASHRAE/
ANSI requirements.
