Our objective is to transfer all the product improvement benefits and cost savings to the end-user
Always a believer in innovation, Annexair knows that investing in Research & Development (R&D) is profitable and necessary in order to ensure that the company is well positioned for the future. Every year, Annexair invest 3% of its annual sales towards R&D. We have a full-time R&D team, led by the Engineering Director, who are constantly testing new materials, components and manufacturing methods to improve Quality, Efficiency, Life Cycle, Hygiene, Unit Construction and Acoustical Performances to name a few.
Using the latest 3D software, we simulate both small and large scale drawings to validate overall designs, installations, serviceability, and other aspects, in order to save unnecessary cost, reduce complexity and manufacturing labor. Our objective is to transfer all the product improvement benefits and cost savings to the end-user.
Simulation software is an important tool that we regularly use to optimize the footprint dimensions of a unit while verifying airflow movement, as to ensure that air is equally distributed throughout coils, filters, wheels, or any other device.
Example of large scale drawings created by our R&D department
Simulation software is also used for smaller details such as wheel gear drive mounting and condenser fan assemblies. |

Another key mandate our R&D department has is to evaluate the temperature reaction of all components that are found in Annexair air handling equipment. With the help of our modern climate chamber room, which can reach temperatures as high as 125 °F dry-bulb at very humid levels, while units are in operation, it is very easy for our R&D technicians to diagnose the thermal imaging of materials and components. If results are not to our satisfaction, a committee of engineers will take actions to find appropriate solutions and apply these improvements permanently in the production process. |
