New Thermal and Acoustic Test Laboratory for Caice Fan Coil Units is Open
Our team of professionals has designed, built and commissioned a new Fan Coil Unit (FCU) thermal and acoustic test laboratory at our dedicated FCU factory in Dorset.

It is the most advanced thermal and acoustic testing laboratory in the UK for FCUs and has been developed in collaboration with BSRIA. Sophisticated tests are conducted in the same chamber and results available immediately.
To meet increased demand and future expected growth, the FCU factory has also been significantly expanded and an additional high speed, metal laser-cutting machine has been installed giving extra flexibility and capacity.
Clients save time when they witness tests and have a factory tour
We have improved the whole experience for clients with greater speed and transparency when they combine witness tests and a factory tour.

- Witness tests being undertaken
- View test results immediately afterwards
- Reassurance that FCU meets specified noise criteria for project
Reassurance and peace of mind that FCUs will meet your specified noise criteria
The test report compares the tested performance data with confirmed data provided to clients. The report also shows that the specified noise criteria for the project is met by the new Caice FCU DesignCalc software automatically inserting the tested noise data for the FCU into the acoustic calculation.
An ideal time to invest in the future of FCUs
As pioneers, and fiercely independent, we always take the long term view of our industry and feel that this is an ideal time to invest in the future.
“Increased demand for our high performance Fan Coil Units has been coming from some of the largest property developments in the UK, including high end residential developments in London. So we have opened our new FCU thermal and acoustic test laboratory in our dedicated FCU factory to demonstrate our considerable capabilities in managing the largest orders” says David Clough, Sales Director, Caice Acoustic Air Movement
“We are very proud to open what is undoubtably the most advanced Fan Coil Unit thermal and acoustic testing laboratory of its kind in the UK in collaboration with BSRIA. With the expansion of our dedicated FCU factory and on-going investment in time-saving software for clients, this shows our confidence and commitment to the FCU market at a time of great uncertainty” says Ken Amott, Managing Director, Caice Acoustic Air Movement
“We recently completed a client witness test demonstration and factory tour for the upmarket house builder, Berkeley Homes. They were very impressed with the increased capacity and flexibility in our FCU factory as well as improvements in efficiency since their last visit three years ago” says Duncan Powell, Associate Sales Director, Caice Acoustic Air Movement
