TULSA,
Okla., Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AAON, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AAON) ("AAON" or the "Company"), a leading provider of
premium, high-performance, and energy-efficient HVAC solutions, has
received AMCA Accreditation for AMCA 210 Airflow Performance and
AMCA 300 Sound Performance for the Norman Asbjornson Innovation
Center (NAIC). The NAIC research and development laboratory leads
the HVAC industry as one of only 13 labs to hold both 210 and 300
Accreditation in North
America.
AMCA accreditation is a prestigious distinction in air movement
and control. Governed by AMCA Publication 111, the AMCA Laboratory
Accreditation program validates the integrity and competence of a
lab by signifying it has undergone rigorous audits for its testing
equipment and procedures. Lab accreditation is not a substitute for
AMCA product certification and should not be construed as a license
to bear the AMCA Seal for product performance.
"This rigorous process assures the accuracy and reliability of
the data produced in the NAIC and the information we are able to
provide for AAON products. Congratulations to our very own
Karina Acosta and Chait Johar for
their hard work and diligence in spearheading this achievement,"
said Mark Fly, Executive Director of
the NAIC.
The NAIC's 134,000 square foot laboratory houses 12
psychrometric chambers capable of measuring acoustics and thermal
performance. Among these chambers is the largest psychrometric
reverberation sound chamber in the world. The Company's NAIC can
test supply, return, and outside sound at actual load conditions,
up to a 300 ton air conditioning system, up to a 540 ton chiller
system, and 80 million Btu of gas heating. The environmental
chamber testing capabilities include -20°F to 130°F, up to eight
inches per hour of rain, up to two inches per hour of snow, and up
to 50 mph of wind.
Recently, AAON utilized the NAIC's state-of-the-art facilities
for comprehensive fan testing in accordance with AMCA 210 and AMCA
300 standards. The testing process involved measuring fan
performance and sound at three speeds with 10 test points per RPM
setting. The data recorded for AMCA 210 includes airflow (CFM),
static pressure, RPM, and VFD input power. Simultaneously, inlet
and outlet sound pressure levels were recorded for AMCA 300 in the
one-third octave band. This meticulous testing highlights AAON's
dedication to innovation and excellence by providing precise HVAC
technology data.
