AAON, Inc.

We're shipping innovation, one unit at a time! ?? How do we safely ship equipment with A2L refrigerant? AAON's Director of Government and Industry Affairs explains how the U.S. Department of Transportation collaborated with the HVAC industry to develop permits for A2L units.

As we celebrate #MFGDay24, we recognize the innovation and craftsmanship of our dedicated team members. As they have been the driving force behind the premium solutions our customers have loved since 1988. ????????? Manufacturing Day marks a time for manufacturers to come together, address collective challenges, and inspire excitement about manufacturing careers to help communities and future generations thrive.

Omni-climate performance starts with a strong foundation! ????? Tested and verified at the Norman Asbjornson Innovation Center (NAIC), AAON’s industry-leading cabinet construction has been proven to prevent capacity loss and ensure efficiency in extreme weather conditions.

According to Consulting-Specifying Engineer, dedicated outdoor air systems are becoming a more common design option because of benefits like improved humidity control, reduction in energy use, simplified ventilation design, and enhanced overall efficiency. AAON has been dedicated since the beginning and now, the next generation of DOAS is here. Explore the world of #AAONDeltaClass at https://lnkd.in/gNDaS6zJ.

We're excited to celebrate BASX's newly completed 36,000 sq-ft weld shop! ?? This shop features cutting-edge welding technology and advanced air filtration systems, including an AAON make-up air unit, ensuring exceptional air quality for workers. Not only will this expansion support production capabilities but also the company's ongoing growth!

The fall 2024 #MastersofHVAC class is officially halfway through! In week three, the class focused on refrigeration and got to the explore the diverse testing capabilities of the #NAIC, including a demonstration in the environmental chamber! ?? ????

The RZ is the largest unit and highest Air Cooled tonnage manufactured by AAON. With capacities ranging from 45 to 261 tons, this unit allows engineers to add option boxes, which in some cases—like this one—can extend the unit's length to over 70 feet. We recently moved this 240-ton RZ into the #ExplorationCenter in Tulsa, OK, allowing guests to see the size and capabilities of this impressive unit firsthand. This specific model features power return fans and tandem variable speed compressors. Interested in visiting the Exploration Center yourself? Contact your local AAON Representative! ??

Inside the #NAIC, we put our units to the test. ?? Our environmental chamber allows engineers to run tests under some of the harshest weather conditions our equipment might face, including heavy rainfall. This chamber can simulate rain at up to eight inches per hour! Through this assessment, engineers can check for unit leakage and ensure that no water penetrates the system. This capability is crucial for verifying that products adhere to strict safety standards and to evaluate their performance under extreme conditions.

?? We’ve proactively transitioned to R-454B, a low Global Warming Potential refrigerant that aligns with upcoming 2025 regulations. By shipping R-454B equipment now, we're helping our customers stay ahead while reinforcing our commitment to environmental stewardship. ??

Since 1988, AAON has been at the forefront of innovation, shaping the future of indoor environments. Through our commitments to improving efficiency, sustainability, and long-term value, we deliver on top-tier performance through our configurable designs. For 35 years and counting, this is #theAAONway.
