Testing is not limited to stationary HVAC&R systems – we can also test automotive compressors for both belt- and electrically-driven systems.

We can test specific vapor injection rates to understand compressor response and performance.

Air-to-refrigerant testing, primarily for tube-fin and microchannel designs, using water, glycol or refrigerant, including propane and other A3 fluids.

Testing to understand frost development and defrost performance with enhanced visualization capability.

Testing coaxial and braze plate heat exchangers using water, glycol and refrigerant.

Evaluate the impacts of refrigerant selection on component or system performance. Consider the trade-offs between the current state-of-the-art, newly developed alternatives, or natural refrigerants like CO₂ and propane.

Evaluate direct and indirect emissions for a given refrigerant selection and application to assess the total carbon impact.

Heat Pump Design for R454B

Need to transition to a low-GWP solution? Use simulation to understand the impacts of refrigerant selection on system performance and consider multiple viable alternatives including natural refrigerants like CO₂ and propane.

Design, simulate and analyze vapor compression systems under multiple conditions to understand the impacts on performance. Leverage modeling tools to consider alternate components and find an optimized design.
