When renovating or upgrading an HVAC system, airflow efficiency is one of the most critical factors to consider. Poor airflow and noise can lead to higher energy consumption, increased system wear, and reduced comfort levels, all major concerns for engineers and facility managers. Aero Dyne Sound Control Company provides the solution with their High-Efficiency Profile (H-E-P) Turning Vanes, designed to enhance performance in HVAC design and commercial HVAC retrofit projects.
The Challenges of HVAC Retrofits in Commercial Buildings
Many older buildings suffer from outdated ductwork that causes inefficiencies, leading to uneven temperature distribution, excessive energy use, and annoying duct noise . Designing a retrofit HVAC system often requires significant investment, and upgrading an entire ductwork system isn’t always a cost-effective option.
Aero Dyne’s high-quality turning vanes may be the only upgrade needed.. By integrating our precision-engineered turning vanes into existing ductwork, engineers can significantly reduce turbulence, enhance airflow, and optimize system efficiency—all without costly system replacements.
How Aero Dyne Turning Vanes Improve HVAC Performance
Unlike standard turning vanes that create pressure loss., Aero Dyne’s H-E-P Turning Vanes are specifically designed to improve airflow in square or rectangular ductwork. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Advanced Airfoil Design – Reduces relative pressure loss, providing maximum turning efficiency.
- Superior Construction – Manufactured using a 17-point roll-forming process, ensuring consistent quality and long-lasting durability.
- Quick Positive Installation – Pre-slotted side rails and ring shank fasteners, allow for secure and hassle-free assembly, saving installation time and labor costs.
- Reduced Generated Sound Power – Independently tested by ETL Testing Laboratories, Inc. (Report No. 48037) Aero Dyne’s vanes had lower generated sound power compared to four competing designs.
The Benefits of Aero Dyne Turning Vanes in HVAC Retrofits
By integrating Aero Dyne turning vanes into a retrofit HVAC system, engineers and contractors can achieve improved airflow at a low cost:
- Maximum Turning Efficiency – Superior airfoil contour reduces relative pressure loss to the lowest attainable level.
- Energy Savings – Lower fan horsepower required allowing HVAC systems to lower energy consumption.
- Extended System Lifespan – Reducing stress on fans and other components prevents premature wear and costly repairs.
- Cost-Effective Retrofit Solution – Eliminates the need for extensive ductwork replacement, making HVAC retrofits more cost effective.
- Improved Comfort and Air Distribution – Improve airflow throughout the building, reduce temperature fluctuations and control noise to enhance occupant satisfaction.
