R&D Lab Overview
Commissioned in 2010, this coil testing facility is centered on a 20-ton psychometric chamber. The test facility allows the engineers at Coilmaster to test every type of coil we produce, under all types of conditions, and with a wide range of fluids. This extensive testing results in reliable coils with exceptional performance.

VirtuaLab® allows the engineer to answer the quintessential question: what if? This simulation package will help replace some in lab testing with the virtual simulations, hence the name.
About VirtuaLab®
Coilmaster has created a proprietary suite of simulation tools that enables engineers to move beyond standard coil selection software. A detailed tube-by-tube heat exchanger model is the heart of the suite allowing detailed circuiting and airflow distributions to be modeled. The coil simulators allow for variable air flow patterns, dropped tubes, tapered circuits, and even has a qualitative transient frosting model. This detailed coil analysis is incorporated in the extremely flexible system simulation tool. By allowing vapor compression systems to be created via drop-and-drag the system simulation tool is capable of calculating performance on nearly any type of system.
