Horton has state-of-the-art R&D and tech centers that provide the foundation for designs that offer durability and performance, even in the harshest environments. These designs are initially validated using load and duty cycle data, virtual wind tunnel simulations and computational fluid dynamics.

Following rigorous design development, Horton optimizes the designs using the industry’s most advanced cooling system simulator. The designs are also tested in an acoustically-treated reverberant-room. This robust process allows the engineers to fully understand the complete cooling system’s in-depth operation and performance.

We know surprises cost money so we prove our products with a rigorous validation program. Products are subjected to vibration durability and strain testing using our hydrodynamic shaker system. Other testing includes thermal shock, accelerated life, advanced wind tunnel and dynamometer. Finally, products are tested on real applications in the field.
