Innovation
Cutting-edge technologies, created through scientific precision and sustainable innovation.
Aermec’s capacity for innovation and the cutting-edge technological approach that distinguishes its products is derived from the company’s unwavering commitment to research.
Aermec applies highly advanced technologies, seeking ever-improving energy efficiencies and the integration with renewable energy during each product development cycle.
In addition to its in-house R&D facilities, supported by sophisticated development tools and test chambers for state-of-the-art testing, Aermec also works closely with renowned universities and research institutes.
Research and development
Aermec research and development laboratory: The technological heart where innovation meets precision.
The 7 climatic chambers (calorimetric and thermostatic) present in the Aermec facilities allow accurate testing on all products designed and built by Aermec to be carried out, even in extreme environmental conditions (from -20°C to +55°C), in accordance with current international regulations.
Aermec has one of the largest test chambers in Europe, with a maximum capacity of over 2 MW. It features a ventilation tunnel for determining the aeraulic performance of machines and components, an unparalleled “real room”, used to measure comfort levels and to study innovative approaches to regulating room thermostats, and a fully automated semi-anechoic chamber.
Thermostatic chamber
The verification and validation of the performance of chillers and heat pumps are carried out in state-of-the-art thermostatic test chambers, equipped with measuring instruments which are periodically calibrated, in compliance with international standards.
In the climatic chambers, different types of equipment for residential, commercial and industrial use can be tested, with cooling and thermal capacities from 10 kW to 2MW.
The rooms are accredited to perform the tests required for the maintenance of Eurovent and AHRI certifications.
They are also equipped to safely test units using class A2L and A3 low GWP and flammable refrigerants.
The thermostatic chambers have been designed and built in compliance with the strictest international regulations.
Calorimetric chambers
The calorimetric chambers are an essential element of the Research and Development Laboratory: thanks to the balance of energy flows and the use of high-precision instrumentation, it is possible to evaluate the performance of fan coils, chillers and heat pumps, even those that are very small in size (thermal/cooling capacity of less than 1kW to 40kW).
In the calorimetric chambers, extreme temperature and humidity conditions can be simulated in order to validate and optimise the performance of the units designed by Aermec.
The technical characteristics of the Aermec calorimetric chambers allow tests to be carried out in accordance with international regulations such as UNI EN 14511, UNI EN 14825 and UNI EN 1397.
Semi-anechoic chamber
Aermec has a semi-anechoic chamber designed and manufactured in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 3744 standard.
Courtesy of a 5-axis robotic system managed by specific software, it is possible to perform the measurements in a fully automated manner.
The structure allows acoustic analysis to be carried out on fan coil units, room air conditioners and small chillers.
Thanks to the special insulation on the walls and floor, it is possible to carry out acoustic measurements without reflected sound components, background noise and vibrations.
The presence of a special ducting system also allows tests to be performed on ducted units, enabling the separate measurement of the components of noise emitted by the suction, delivery and machine body respectively.
The instrumentation at Aermec’s disposal can also be used to perform measurements of sound power, sound pressure and acoustic mapping, according to the international standards UNI EN ISO 9614 and UNI EN ISO 3744.
Ventilation tunnel
Analysis of air flows and fluid dynamic characterisation.
The ventilation tunnel is an infrastructure designed for the analytical study of air flows, and for determining the aeraulic performance of machines and components.
In the ventilation tunnel, the products undergo rigorous checks in accordance with international standards (UNI EN ISO 5801 – ANSI/AMCA 210), ensuring their fluid dynamic characterisation and the determination of the respective flow-pressure characteristic curves.
Real Room
The room is constructed from masonry with radiant flooring, in accordance with building construction standards. Different and independent temperature and humidity conditions can be created in the space between the room itself and the external structure, on each side and above the ceiling.
This chamber therefore allows the real conditions of use of split units and fan coils to be simulated. The Real Room was built in order to carry out the analysis of the distribution of air temperatures with units in operation, along with the functional analysis of thermostats for the management and control of the units – simulating the wall installation at different locations and on-board the machine – and enabling environmental comfort testing according to Fanger’s theory (ISO 7730).
Quality and certifications
Certified excellence and constant innovation for Aermec Quality.
Aermec’s quality comes fully certified: the company has had the ISO 9001:2015 quality certification since 1993, and the ISO 14001:2015 certification since 2013, with regard to the company’s environmental management process. Aermec system and quality certifications are intended for a global user landscape.
