Industrial and Equipment Manufacturers account for just under half of Irwin’s business. The segments of HVACR fit into these markets for us. Our component offerings and brands are well-suited to the requirements of HVACR, both for mechanical and electronic/electrical parts. This article highlights focused brands and featured products for the HVACR industries.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning – HVAC, is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. "Refrigeration" is often added to the field's abbreviation, as HVACR, because of overlapping technology, parts and production methodology.
Applications: Air Cleaners | Air Conditioners | Air Exchangers | Air Handlers | Boilers | Controls & Thermostats | Furnaces | Heat Pumps | Humidifiers | Refrigeration | Ventilation
IRWIN’s 50-year history was founded on fasteners. Mechanical, and electro-mechanical parts form the core of our business.

Flow drill fasteners utilize a pointed tip and frictional heat to soften substrate materials, allowing a hole to be “flowed” through them before forming threads into the created hole.
Cooltron’s backward-curved centrifugal motorized impellers comprise a fan impeller that is fixed to the rotor of an external rotor motor, eliminating the need for an output shaft and resulting in lower bearing loads and vibration-free, high-efficiency operation.
Direct current (DC) external rotor motors run on 12, 24, or 48 VDC supply. Speed control is much simpler with DC, when compared to AC motorized impellers, because there is no need for an external device. The speed of DC motorized impellers can be controlled using either a 1-10 VDC signal or through pulse-width modulation (PWM).
EC motorized impellers allow for closed loop control of temperature, pressure, and other parameters when either a 1-10 VDC or PWM speed control signal is coupled with an external sensor. Constant pressure control is particularly useful for ducted applications, while constant airflow control is more suited for filtered applications. Alternatively, a potentiometer can be connected to provide a manual form of variable speed control.
