Components testing
We test compressors designed for refrigeration and air conditioning units, fans, and electric machines.
- Performance and life tests of compressors
- Measurement with all standard refrigerants, including CO2 and A2L and A3 refrigerants
- Electric machine tests
REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR TESTING
Compressor types: Electric compressors (scroll, rotary, piston) and variable speed compressors with drive
The test lab has four measuring devices available for testing the performance of compressors, both for conventional refrigerants, alternative refrigerants, including subcritical and transcritical CO2, and A2L und A3 refrigerants with a maximum output of 45 kW.
The test lab also has 14 chambers for stress and lifespan testing of compressors at temperatures from -35 ° C to +45 ° C.
