Select Samples are existing air movers selected to achieve the required performance of your OEM unit. Revcor’s Sales Engineers help you use our RevAir Select software to select the best sample for your OEM unit.

Our customers are responsible for performing their own efficiency, sound, and structural qualification testing to ensure the technical specifications of their OEM units are achieved and to minimize the risk of costly field failures.

Most customers prefer Custom Samples configured by one of our experienced Design Engineers. Better yet, upgrade to an Optimize Project, where proprietary testing is done directly in your OEM unit until the best sample is configured to optimize performance throughout its useful life.

Either way, let’s get started:

Custom Samples are new air movers configured from our broad selection of tooled components by Revcor’s Design Engineers and assembled to achieve the required performance of your OEM unit.

When a Select Sample can’t be chosen from RevAir Select, we still have a good chance of configuring a Custom Sample that will achieve your OEM Unit’s required performance. Custom Samples, our customer’s preferred choice, are low-cost and can be configured, built, and shipped quickly like Select Samples.

Customers are still responsible for in-unit performance, sound, and structural qualification testing to ensure product specifications are achieved and to avoid costly field failures.

Prototypes are new air movers developed from temporary tooling and lasered parts by Revcor’s Senior Design Engineers when Select and Custom Samples can’t achieve the required OEM unit performance.

Prototypes require more lead time to design and develop the required component parts and assembly processes. They also cost substantially more than Select or Custom Samples. Housing and Blower Packages frequently require Prototypes to accommodate unique hole patterns for attachment to the OEM Unit.

The customer is still responsible for in-unit performance, sound, and structural qualification testing to ensure product specifications are achieved and to avoid costly field failures.

Test Projects verify the performance of your OEM unit. Revcor engineers perform the proprietary tests you order in our airflow-specific Tech Center. These tests are performed using your OEM unit’s existing air-mover or one of our Select Samples, Custom Samples, or Prototypes.

Revcor’s Lab Technicians are skilled at performing a wide variety of tests on airflow-dependent OEM units, including Airflow, Structural Qualification, FEA & Modal Analysis, Modal Analysis, Sound, Endurance, Spread and throw, Unit Resonance, Motor Bearing Temp Rise, Motor Torque, High-Temp Oven, Cold Start, Unit Stability, A/C Unit Top Vibration, and Witness.

Structural/Vibration Performance Qualification of the air-mover installed in your OEM units is critical 100% of the time to minimize the risk of costly field failures throughout its operating life. All of our Custom Samples and Prototypes must be tested for structural integrity by you or Revcor to minimize this risk. We have been doing this testing since 1954, can complete it in a couple weeks, for less than $2000.

Optimize Projects improve the performance of your OEM unit. Revcor’s Design Engineers specify Select and Custom Samples and use them to perform multiple test iterations until your OEM unit performance is optimized.

Once the best sample has been chosen for airflow, it will be tested for sound power to ensure your sound requirements are met and that structural integrity is achieved to reduce the risk of costly field failure throughout your OEM unit’s planned life. Detailed reports are generated that document all of your OEM Unit’s test results, assuring you optimum performance while minimizing the risk of the air mover failing.

Are you developing a new airflow-dependent OEM unit and want to ensure the most efficient, quietest, and structurally sound air mover is designed and applied?

Design Projects maximize the performance of your OEM unit. Revcor’s Senior Design Engineers design and develop Prototypes from temporary tooling and lasered parts and use them to perform multiple test iterations until the performance of your OEM unit is maximized.

Once the best Prototype for airflow has been developed, it will be tested for sound power to ensure your sound requirements are met and that structural integrity is achieved to reduce the risk of costly field failure throughout your OEM unit’s planned life. Detailed reports are generated that document how well the Prototype developed maximized the performance of your OEM unit.

Design Projects require more time, effort, and cost than Optimize Projects. However, engaging us early in your new product development process results in optimized unit performance, shortened lead time, and minimized total project cost.

Revcor also has the engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality expertise to ensure that your new air mover’s design, development, tooling, launch, production, and delivery are done on time and within budget.

Increase Efficiency

Gain competitive advantage and/or achieve government mandated efficiency standards by increasing airflow efficiency (i.e.  system CFM/Watt)

Custom Sample

Custom Samples are new products configured by one of our Application Engineers to achieve, or improve your OEM Product’s performance.

Custom Samples are still configured based on the customer supplied operating parameters, rather than in-unit testing by Revcor. The customer is still responsible for testing performance, sound and structural integrity to avoid costly field failures.

blank

Standard Sample

Standard Samples are existing Revcor products selected & tested by our customers. Customer testing of our Standard Samples in their OEM Products is their responsibility. Efficiency, sound and structural integrity must be verified to assure technical specifications are achieved and to minimize the risk of costly field failures.

If you’re a Do It Yourselfer (DIY) and want to select your own Standard Samples, we offer access to our powerful RevAir Select product selection software.

However, most customers prefer to have one of our experienced airflow engineers select the best sample, or better yet, test the selected samples directly in your OEM Products. Revcor’s proprietary testing in our airflow specific labs assures you that the best sample is selected to optimize the performance of your OEM Product throughout its useful life.

Either way, let’s:
