Entering the market for electric refrigerant compressors
Some years ago, a renowned Tier 1 supplier from the South of Germany wanted to install a completely new test facility for electric refrigerant compressors due to their market entry in this field. Being new to the market, their test technology needed to be especially reliable, precise, and flexible. IPETRONIK supported them in defining their individual requirements, in planning the test facility, and in installing the equipment. When the test center had to be extended two years later, we again proved to be a strong partner.
Efficient thermal management is crucial in electric vehicles. This includes a refrigerant and heat transfer system as well as a “refrigerating” aggregate: the refrigerant circuit. At the core of this circuit is the electrical refrigerant compressor. High demands on the performance and durability of the electrical refrigerant compressors are essential for energy efficiency, comfort, and safety, which is why OEMs set strict validation requirements for suppliers.
Within six months, the first test stand was built, followed by three load units for endurance testing and an NVH measurement station. Six months later, the test center comprised five IPEcomp functional test stands, five IPEcomp endurance test stands, and twenty test stations with IPEload load units. Years later, the center was expanded with eleven additional IPEcomp test stands to meet the increased demands.
