SRC's Thermal Innovation Center
Validated performance data. Pioneering experimental research. Prototype development. Our Thermal Innovation Center is a unique facility, capable of scrutinizing existing heat transfer theory and putting that theory into practice. Applied research and experimental research in the same facility. Innovation - in theory and in practice.
Accuracy
Acceptable performance can vary by application, so we offer our coil performance validation services he accuracy of our coil performance validation services with MOE as low as +/- 1%, up to five times the HVAC industry standard.
Dependability
We're proud of our ability to provide heat exchangers that perform and last. Our job is to help you be better at yours, and provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that chasing leaking or underperforming coils won't be on your to-do list.
Experimentation
Our Thermal Innovation Center is where we experiment with heat transfer concepts and put conventional wisdom to the test. Whether that's testing novel heat exchanger designs and materials or finding new ways to maximize heat transfer performance, this is where it all takes place.
Wide Range of Airflow Testing Options
Our Thermal Innovation Center can validate coil performance at airflow conditions ranging from 100 to 8,500 cubic feet per minute.
Temperature Variability
Our lab can test entering watering temperatures up to 180F, entering glycol temperatures from 20F to 200F, and steam temperatures from 250F to 333F.
Humidity Variability
Humidity during coil performance testing can be set as low as 20% and as high as 95%.
