Proven products from our Thermal & Acoustic Test Laboratory
Have confidence that our products will perform
Our team of professionals operate our thermal and acoustic test laboratory at our dedicated facility in Dorset on Fan Coil Units (FCUs), Attenuators and Acoustic Louvres.
Fan Coil Unit tests
Our laboratory is the most advanced thermal and acoustic testing laboratory in the UK for FCUs and has been developed in collaboration with BSRIA. Sophisticated tests are conducted in the same chamber and results available immediately.
Designed and Commissioned in collaboration with BSRIA
BS EN 1397: 2021 Heat exchangers – Hydronic room fan coil units – Test procedures for establishing the performance.
BS 4856-4: 1997 Methods for testing and rating fan coil units, unit heaters and unit coolers. Determination of sound power levels of fan coil units, unit heaters and unit coolers using reverberation rooms.
BS 8850: 2020 Fan coil unit performance. Determination of specific fan power.
Reassurance and peace of mind that FCUs will meet your specified noise criteria
The test report compares the tested performance data with confirmed data provided to clients. The report also shows that the specified noise criteria for the project is met by the new Caice FCU DesignCalc software automatically inserting the tested noise data for the FCU into the acoustic calculation.
Attenuator and Acoustic Louvre tests
BS EN ISO 7235: 2009 “Acoustics – Laboratory measurement procedures for ducted silencers and air terminal units – insertion loss, flow noise and total pressure loss”.
