Terminal Units Research

AIR MOVING TEST AREA 1

Air Moving Test Area 1 evaluates Price Terminal Units, Fan Coil Units and Fan Filter Units based on variables such as fan curves, power consumption, and flow sensor accuracy.

Tests are conducted in accordance with the latest ASHRAE standards and are published to provide the most up-to-date AHRI certified data to the industry. Price can also mock up terminal units to examine their performance in non-standard or critical conditions, demonstrating firsthand how the unit will work on the job site.

AIR MOVING TEST AREA 1

The Terminal Test Area evaluates all Price Terminal Units based on variables such as temperature mixing, fan curves, and flow sensor accuracy. We can also mock-up terminal units to examine their performance in non-standard or critical conditions, demonstrating firsthand how the unit will work on the job site saving you time and money.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Hundreds of Price Terminal Units tested to ASHRAE and AHRI standards every year
  • User-defined testing capabilities
  • Includes two supply/exhaust drops complete with temperature control capable of delivering up to 10,000 CFM
  • Multiple power supplies capable of supplying any voltage from across the world up to 600V
  • Testing in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 130 and AHRI 880
  • Room Size - 1,033 ft2

AIR MOVING TEST AREA 2

The larger area and expanded air flow measurement accommodates larger high capacity units including blower coils and air handlers.

Similar to Air Moving Test Area 1, this space is used to test the air flow performance of various Air Moving products. Adding the additional space increases testing capacity and Price's ability to grow the air movement product line.

AIR MOVING TEST AREA 2

Similar to Air Moving Test Area 1, this space is used to test the airflow performance of various Air Moving products. The larger area (1,500 sq. ft.) and expanded air flow measurement to 10,000 CFM accommodates larger, higher capacity units including blower coils and air handlers. Adding the additional space increases testing capacity and Price’s ability to grow the air movement product line.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dedicated primary air fan system with rotating vane anemometer flow measurement
  • High quality pressure, temperature and power measurement instrumentation
  • Full data acquisition and control system
  • Multiple power supplies provide different voltage simulations from across the world

REVERBERANT CHAMBER 1

This room generates catalog and performance data including AHRI certified ratings for Price's extensive line of Terminal Units and Grilles & Diffusers.

Utilizing cutting-edge Brüel & Kjær sound measuring equipment, this room ensures that Price's Terminal Units and Grilles & Diffusers products continue to set the bar for product performance. Once measured, sound and vibration data is collected using the Brüel & Kjær PULSE LabShop software platform. Mock-up witness tests are often conducted to fulfill specific project requirements, providing test results that are applicable to the actual job site.
