Chamber for heat pump (HP) testing

Heat pump testing chambers belong to the modular chambers test equipment family. They are meant for characterization of heat pumps and associated equipments. We offer you a comprehensive serie of tests for every firms that produce and sell heat pump.

enceintes pour test de pompe à chaleur (PAC)

These environmental chamber allow :

- characterization of thermodynamic equipment for renewable energies.

- check the performance of heat pumps in relation to outdoor conditions over a wide temperature and humidity range. These checks are carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.

- test all types of heat pump (for domestic or domestic water heating): reversible, INVERTER or ALL OR NOTHING.

Modular climatic chambers for heat pumps meet the following standards:

EN 14511-2 (definition of test conditions)
NF PAC
EN 255-3 (domestic water heaters)

Spirale

Spirale lets you control all your equipment. Standard features include :

extra-large (15″) touchscreen,
3 levels of use :
- Production: simple, clear and functional
- Standard: a versatile level
- Laboratory: focused on advanced testing
a tracking alarm in Shock or ESS mode to ensure reproducibility of your tests.
programmable pre-treatment/post-treatment on Spirale Vision to temperature condition or even dry your samples at the beginning and/or end of the cycle.
an automatic defrost function: Spirale Vision optimizes the cycle so that defrosting can be carried out correctly without disturbing the temperature of the samples under test.

Standard mode for easy program creation

Time-optimized or “guaranteed step time” mode (Wait for mode) to guarantee a programmed step time regardless of the number of samples on board.

Spirale’s Energy Saving mode means that only the test cabinet containing the samples is in operation. You save at least 40% on your electricity consumption during your test cycles.
