AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAON), a leading manufacturer of heating and
cooling products, officially opened the Norman Asbjornson
Innovation Center (NAIC) Research and Development Laboratory. The
Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma, Matt Pinnell, the President and
CEO of the Tulsa Regional Chamber, Mike Neal, and other local
dignitaries attended the ribbon cutting ceremony.
The 65-foot tall 134,000 square foot facility
features ten test chambers that continue to solidify AAON as the
technological leader in high performance HVAC equipment. The NAIC
is the only laboratory in the world able to measure supply, return,
and ambient sound under actual load conditions, for an air
conditioning system up 300 tons and a chiller system up to 540
tons. Environmental application testing capabilities include -20°F
to 140°F testing conditions, up to 8 inches per hour rain testing,
up to 2 inches per hour snow testing, and up to 50 mph wind
testing.
“We are very excited to have this facility
up-and-running. It is the result of many years of designing,
planning and implementation by our employees. I believe the
technology built into this state-of-the-art laboratory will
establish the company for many years to come,” said Norm
Asbjornson, CEO of AAON.
“The NAIC is a major reason I decided to come
and lead the AAON team. The value this facility brings to the
company is enormous; we are able to show our customers firsthand
why AAON is the leader in the HVAC industry. Its capabilities have
already resulted in multiple large AAON equipment orders, where the
customer required testing that was not possible anywhere else,”
said Gary Fields, President of AAON.
