About Polo
POLO was founded in 1982 and since then has focused on research, development and innovation projects in refrigeration and thermophysics, becoming a world-class laboratory in its areas of activity.
We conduct research and provide services to improve concepts and enhance the performance of refrigeration systems and their components for household, commercial, vehicular and heat pump applications aiming at energy efficiency and environmental impact.
Our team has extensive experience in R&D, and is internationally recognized for its leadership in the fields of compressors and cooling systems.
The center is comprised of 20 laboratories spread over a 3,000 m² building area, including climate-controlled chambers for testing refrigeration systems according to ISO, ASHRAE, NBR, and PrEN standards. In addition, calorimeters and wind-tunnels, thermal and high-speed cameras, particle image velocimetry (PIV) systems, a videoscope, an infrared photoacoustic spectrophotometry concentration meter, and rigs for characterizing the thermophysical properties of fluids and solids, among others, are available in our comprehensive laboratory infrastructure.
