ENGINEERING

IAP Engineering solves customer problems by designing fans and blowers that provide required performance and longevity. Our engineering team is readily able and willing to work with the customer regarding their demanding applications.

IAP Engineering works concurrently in a collaborative product development effort and utilizes advanced CAD/CAE/CAM tools to make product development and design more efficient and productive. IAP is a seasoned user of Finite Element Analysis Modeling software.

EXCEPTIONAL ENGINEERING 

AND MANUFACTURING

IAP's constantly updated capabilities give us a commanding advantage even when compared to bigger-sized shops. Our new FANPRO Selection Software simplifies standard fan and blower orders, and is available to representatives and customers. For specialty applications, our talented engineering and manufacturing teams work in unison to handle the speeds, pressures and exotic metals that other companies won't touch. We've done tip speeds up to 38,000 FPM (432 MPH), configured housings for extremely high heat environments (2,200o F), exceeded NASA's test requirements, and established stringent vibration tolerances (0.05 inches per second of velocity) for clean room applications. IAP has also become the country's leading expert on fuel cell fans, among some of our many accomplishments.

We talk to customers to fully understand their applications, and use our vast experience and practiced sense of speeds and temperatures to double-check for specification accuracy. The engineers may also run a Finite Element Analysis to show a fan's stresses and how the fan will hold together under loading.

 

All of our customers, particularly OEMs, appreciate thoroughness-it could be the difference between a system that simply runs and a system that precisely meets the specifications. By anticipating concerns and taking a highly responsive approach, we can go through the entire designing and manufacturing processes faster and with less error.

Importantly, we create solutions for customers by putting the design on paper first-wheel, shaft, speed, fan type, tolerance, balance-then manufacture to our engineering drawings. IAP has proven that quality engineering followed by quality manufacturing delivers quality equipment. It's that simple.
