HVAC Systems
The HVAC industry in the U.S. is also growing fast, with forecasts showing a jump from $25.6 billion in 2019 to $35.8 billion in 2030. Demand for more energy-efficient systems and increased construction are fueling this growth.
Several interior and exterior structural parts of HVAC systems are also roll formed. Even the tubing that is part of the refrigerant exchanger in an HVAC system is made of roll formed copper. Roll forming is used to produce:
- Ducts
- Cooling tower louvers
- Dampers
- Filter frame units
- Air conditioner cases
- Electric heater housings
- And more
Roll Forming Advantages
Both the commercial refrigeration and HVAC industries need a high volume of long, slender parts – roll forming’s specialty. Roll forming is a highly repeatable process. Once the tooling is in place, roll forming produces components more consistently than other metal shaping processes, even over long runs.
Whether the parts you need are decorative or structural, HVAC and commercial refrigeration parts are perfect for roll forming.
Roll forming allows engineers and designers to create customized components. Whether you’re using stainless steel parts for framing or pre-painted aluminum sheets for decoration, roll forming produces a clean and attractive finish.
Have a complex design? Roll forming can fabricate parts with:
- Complex profiles
- Inline punching for accepting mating parts
- Tricky hole patterns
- Tight tolerances
- Pristine finishes
Hole punching, bending, and cutting to length can easily fit into one continuous process rather than separate steps. Roll forming is a more cost-effective and productive method in all these cases.
