IEL photoTesting the performance and viability of emerging technologies is what turns great ideas into workable solutions. In Advanced Energy's 10,000 square foot industrial laboratory, we perform a variety of testing and research to give our clients the data they need to make informed decisions on current and emerging technology. In doing so, Advanced Energy has saved its clients millions of dollars through process improvements and energy efficiency.

In the laboratory Advanced Energy is able to take our clients’ product samples and run them through a variety of heating technologies to help determine the best process for the job at hand. Through these tests we provide our clients with real life data on product quality, consistency, and operational costs. With this data and basic information of our client’s facility, we are able to perform an economic evaluation of the technology in question. Advanced Energy is also able to setup demonstrations for our clients to witness the operation first hand.

Our excellent ongoing relations with vendors and clients enables us to maintain a rolling inventory of process heating equipment. However certain pieces of equipment are almost always ready to use at our facility. These include:

  • Short, medium and long range electric infrared (IR) ovens- with SCR controls
  • Radio frequency ovens
    • 25kW continuous oven
    • 1.5kW batch oven
  • Electric convection ovens, batch style
  • Induction generator, with a variety of coils

However, if we do not have the equipment at our lab, we can always talk to our vendors to find what you need and setup a test or demonstration.

Advanced Energy also prides itself on its top of the line data measurement and analysis capabilities. With the help of our skilled specialists, we can monitor and present just about any parameter needed. Some of the equipment at our disposal includes:

  • Data logging
    • Fluke Hydra Dataloggers
    • DataPaq units
    • LabView® datalogging and operation software
  • Temperature measurement
    • Fluoroptic light probes
    • Infrared pyrometry
    • Infrared thermography
    • Standard thermocouples
  • Power measurement
    • Custom built power panels
    • Fluke watt meter
    • Metrasonics power meter

Even if we don’t have the equipment our clients want, Advanced Energy could easily obtain what is needed within a short timeframe from our vendors.
