Trox trebles throughput of fan-coil test area
Trox has totally rebuilt the test cell for fan coils in its technical centre in response to the massive demands for research and development into fan-coil systems. Barry Trewhitt, product manager, explains that the new test area can handle at least three conditions or separate set ups a day and test them under stable conditions — a trebling of capacity.
There are three main reasons for the investment.
One is the need to measure energy savings accurately as in the case of VAV fan-coil development work.
The second is to verify performance data on a project-by-project basis.
The third is to enable further product research to be undertaken.
This dedicated fan-coil laboratory is said to be the only one in the UK that is certified by BSRIA and that can perform these tests in stable pre-determined conditions.
