Description
Temperature / Humidity control
‘Walk-In’ Environmental Chambers for
Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Testing
The two climatic rooms will be side by side simulating “Indoor” and “Outdoor” conditions with temperature, humidity and air flow independently controlled. Each chamber can include an Air Enthalpy Measuring device to enable precise measurement of capacity and efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps in accordance with the air enthalpy method.
Heating, Cooling and Humidity system
- Heating provided by electrical heating elements. The variable heater will be
powered through a SCR Power Controller. Available heating power – 30KW. - Cooling by direct expansion. Cooling capacity control will be provided by a true
0-100% modulation. Available cooling power – 30KW. - Humidification with steam generator(s)
- Drying by direct expansion effect
Construction
- Sandwich panels EN 14509 Class M1 with injected polyurethane insulation
100mm thick, CFC free - Interior: AISI 304 stainless steel walls and ceiling
- Floor in AISI 304 stainless steel reinforced to 1000 kg / m2 with sewer point
- Exterior: Steel zinc-plated lacquered finish RAL 7035
- Interior security opening
- Access ramps
- Removable inner partition wall
- Pass-through holes and dimensions according to client specifications
Air Enthalpy measuring Device
The Air Enthalpy Measuring Device will measure air enthalpy values and
determine air flow values and thermal capacities. The tunnels test Room Air
Conditioners Indoor and Outdoor Side Cooling or Heating Capacity in a
draw-through mode and also fan/blowers air flow capabilities.
The Air Enthalpy Measuring Device provides the sensors needed to
automatically obtain the airside enthalpy measurements which are critical to the
accuracy of the capacity measurement.
Other Features
- Hardware and software for automatic control and acquisition of several raw data to
perform tests according the air conditioners and heat pumps standards. - With this system we supply all sensors and measurement equipment necessary to
comply the air conditioners and heat pumps standards. - Water circuit with automatic control to perform the tests according the heat pumps
standards.
