Thought becomes reality in R&D and Engineering
Our engineers and technicians are encouraged to join expertise with skill
to extend the boundaries of current fan technology. State-of-the-art computer
software and a fully equipped AMCA certified lab allow these men and women
to stretch the limits of present data to create increasingly efficient and
ever higher quality air moving equipment.
Cutting Edge Design Tools
Installation
of the very latest 3-dimensional parametric solid modeling, Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software has permitted
our engineers to initiate a new era in product development. Originally used
for aircraft design, measuring air flow and stress points, our engineers are
first in the industry to adapt the sophisticated software to fan design. The
ultra-efficient, X.STREAM Propeller Wall Fan is the very first of a new generation
of our products utilizing this exciting technology.
AMCA Certified Test Lab
Our fully computerized AMCA Certified test lab insures that performance data
is 
accurate
and reliable. Our air performance testing facility is designed to exceed the
requirements of ANSI/AMCA 210-99 and ANSI/ASHRAE 51-1999 for figure 12 and
15 test setups. With a flow range from 0 to 100,000 cfm and pressure capabilities
exceeding the Class III operating range, this facility is highly representative
of Loren Cook Company's significant and continued investment in state-of-the-art
fan expertise.
While computer models reduce prototypes and allow quicker evaluation of
designs, they will never replace physical testing. Our research and development
center also includes capabilities for endurance testing of units including
start-stop tests, overspeed tests and elevated temperature testing. Detailed
sound and vibration analysis equipment also allows our engineering to assure
quiet, smooth running designs.
Purchased components are also subjected to 
our
rigorous testing. Engineering approval is required before any component -
from nuts and bolts to motors and bearings - can be used on a Cook product.
Electrical components must also pass stringent Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
testing procedures. By being a member of UL's Client Test Data Program, these
tests can be performed on-site allowing quick response to new designs and
enhancements.
And testing doesn't stop there - even our packaging is subjected to third
party scrutiny. All Loren Cook products are shipped in ISTA Certified Transit
Tested Packaging. This insures that your product arrives on-site in perfect
condition.
