Component development and testing

For more performance and efficiency

We design and supply customised test bench solutions for the development and validation of automotive air conditioning components. All types of automotive refrigerant compressors under development are tested and validated. Thermal management development, refrigerant compressor validation, refrigerant valve development. We serve the entire range of applications for compressor test benches and media supply modules and are able to simulate real road conditions under all climatic conditions.

Our Service Portfolio

  • Precise replication of specified operating conditions in the refrigerant circuit
  • Refrigerant circuit component measurements
  • Measurements with R1234yf, R134a, R290, R744 and other innovative refrigerant mixtures
  • Individual test cases within a wide performance range
  • Recording and evaluation of important thermodynamic parameters (including temperature, pressure, OCR)
  • Defined OCR specifications as well as "oil-free" measurements
  • Automated and time-efficient test operation / fully manual control for special operating points
  • Performance of long-term tests, COP investigations and calorimetric observations
  • Evaluation of measurement results by expert engineers
  • Flexible integration of refrigeration components through our own prototype workshop

Test Specimens for Component Tests

  • Water-cooled heat exchangers (condensers, gas coolers, chillers)
  • Expansion valves (EXV, TXV)
  • Refrigerant receivers and accumulators
  • Internal heat exchangers (including differential pressure measurement) and refrigerant lines
  • Condensers and evaporators (refrigerant side)

Component Development in "Mini Format" with the IPEload

  • Measurement and examination of electric compressors with regard to: HTOE testing, PTCE testing, durability test, reefer test (lifecycle performance), thermography for heat development on the test specimen or on the circuit board
  • Suitable for R134a, R1234yf, R744, R290 and refrigerant mixtures
  • Individual prototype set-ups
  • Any extension of sensor and signal capacity for prototypical development
  • Investigation of behaviour over an entire extended life cycle of the test item
