How AJ Mfg. Developed an Innovative Commercial HVAC Solution for This Renowned Hospital
In our Project Spotlight series, you’ll learn about an AJ Manufacturing project that stands out – even among our best work – because it lies at the intersection of manufacturing innovation and the advancement of significant societal causes, such as healthcare.
In our many projects worldwide, we supply critical air distribution products and air distribution systems that allow organizations – whether in the pharmaceutical industry or even those invested in preservation of culture and history – to accomplish their important work. To do so, our manufacturing team develops future-forward commercial HVAC solutions to meet the highly-specific needs of our clients, like Walter Reed National Medical Center.
About Walter Reed National Medical Center – A Critical Environment for Veteran Patients
Walter Reed National Medical Center provides key healthcare for service members, family members, those who are retired from the military, and elected federal officials. Walter Reed estimates that they serve the needs of more than 150,000 soldiers.
Founded in the National Capital region, this is a renowned medical center, known for its care of those in the D.C. area, including members of the federal government. Like many hospitals ensuring that they meet or exceed standards for their air distribution systems, they require clean rooms and other high-quality air distribution systems and specific air distribution products to ensure the safety of patients, caregivers, administration, and visitors. When they contacted us, we responded with vigorous support for their commercial HVAC needs.
How AJ Manufacturing Developed a Critical Environment Solution for Walter Reed
Walter Reed National Medical Center approached AJ Manufacturing about laminar flow HEPA diffusers to contribute to their overall commercial HVAC system. To ensure there was no leakage in our ceiling diffusers, the system was photometer-tested. Additionally, independent testing contractors certified the installation to ensure indoor air quality effectively provided the needed solution.
When you work with AJ Manufacturing our air distribution systems stand up to testing and certification for quality, safety, and effectiveness. Further, we were able to get these products to Walter Reed quickly and on their project timeline, given our highly-responsive approach to manufacturing at our Kansas City-based headquarters.

Walter Reed’s Critical Environment Solution: What We Designed
For Walter Reed’s air distribution system, we developed a specific filter diffuser that would provide filtered air into environments where indoor air quality and ventilation standards are required – and are crucial for patient outcomes and the health of medical staff. These filter diffusers are available now, as well as other air distribution products that will fit your business’ needs.
We designed a filter diffuser – which we’ve named the SSLFHFD Series Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffuser. This AJ product uses vertical air mass “laminar flow” technology. This means that through physics and key design principles, air is diffused at a stable and even rate from the diffuser into the room.
Because the air is uniformly distributed, you can depend and rely on the quality of the air exactly where you need it. Additionally, these components are designed for Gel Seal HEPA or ULPA filters, which can be removed and replaced directly through the unit’s face. With an anodized aluminum gel seal frame, our products will ensure that HEPA- or ULPA-filtration standards are optimized.

Other Projects to Look Forward to In Our Spotlight Series on Critical Environment Solutions
Walter Reed National Medical Center is just one of the many projects that highlight the way AJ Manufacturing’s air distribution products stand firmly at the crossroads of innovative air distribution system manufacturing and the improvement of important healthcare standards.
This month, we’re also highlighting our work at St. Luke’s Nampa Medical Center, where our air distribution solutions serve as a key support for their operating theaters. Next month, we look forward to sharing our work at the University of Kansas/KU Med, where an entire floor was transformed into a cancer treatment ward. This floor featured two significant pieces of technology from AJ Manufacturing to ensure that patients who were immunocompromised due to chemotherapy or radiation were receiving air free of airborne particles that could affect their health.
