Vipac provides a highly specialised facility for design, development and performance testing of air distribution systems and components. It is the largest independent NATA certified testing laboratory of its type in the Asia-Pacific region.

The facility can be used for:

•   Full-scale mock-ups to investigate the effectiveness of specific air distribution systems
•   Flow visualisation and video recording of smoke patterns
•   Air supply at temperatures between 2ºC to 50ºC for non-isothermal testing

This laboratory, conforming to ISO3741, is connected to a second reverberation chamber that allows the testing of insertion loss. Services include testing in accordance with ASHRAE, ARI, ADC, AMCA, ISO, BSI and Australian Standards.

•   Fan Testing (up to 500kW)
•   Air Diffusion Testing (10º to 45ºC) and ADPI
•   Sound Testing / Sound Power Determination
•   Performance Testing
•   Leakage Testing of Dampers
•   Air-Flow Visualisation
•   Measurements of flow, pressure drop and throw
•   Silencer Insertion Loss - Static and Dynamic
•   Water Penetration Testing (O/A Louvers)
•   Erosion Testing

Testing includes:
Fans, Louvres, Diffusers, Grilles, VAV Boxes (radiated/discharge), Evaporative Air Conditioners, Silencers, Jet Diffusers, Flexible Ducts, Light/Air Boots, Mixing Boxes, Fibrous Insulation and Dampers.
