Research benches
We have several benches for component characterization: a hot-cycle calorimeter, a capillary tube heat exchanger, and a blast freezing tunnel.
Hot Cycle Calorimeter - Compressor Testing
- Shower temperature: 16 and 32ºC
- Suction temperature: 16 to 32ºC
- Tevap: -35 to 0ºC
- Tcond: 35 to 65ºC
- Mass flow and electrical power curves
- Frequency: 50 and 60Hz
- Voltage: 100 – 240 (VAC), 0 to 30 (VDC)
Capillary Tube Heat Exchanger - Suction Line
- Adiabatic and Heat Exchanger TC-LS
- Maximum length: 3 meters
- Capillary Diameter: 0.5 to 0.85 mm
- Condensation temperature: 20 to 55ºC
- Evaporation temperature: -30 to 5ºC
Quick Freezing Tunnel
- Air temperature: -50 to 25°C
- Air speed: 1 to 5 m/s
- Test section: 100 x 100 mm²
