Vipac Engineers & Scientists Ltd is an engineering research, development and consultancy company with offices located throughout Australia and South-East Asia. With over 28 years experience, Vipac applies advanced mechanical engineering skills of fluid mechanics, gas and thermo dynamics, acoustics, noise and vibration as well as energy conservation to a wide range of projects in different industries, including the airconditioning and whitegoods area. All testing is supported by extensive field instrumentation and test laboratories, such as air distribution and reverberation laboratories, various climatic chambers and solar simulators, a low speed boundary layer wind tunnel, as well as electrodynamic and hydraulic vibration shakers. Vipac is NATA registered and fully independent and as such is used by many companies to provide services on products which require confidentiality or impartial results. Vipac's engineers offer cost-effective and innovative solutions to complex problems posed by manufacturers, importers and component suppliers. Vipac is also involved with R&D, currently researching for ASHRAE the development of a new noise measure for the assessment of rumble noise due to HVAC systems.
