IPEcomp R134a

Validation test bench for electric and mechanical refrigerant compressors

IPEcomp R134a

With the IPEcomp validation test bench for automotive refrigerant compressors, both electric and mechanical refrigerant compressors can be tested for performance and endurance. By mounting the compressor on a mechanically decoupled seismic mass, NVH tests are possible as well.

  • Suitable for mechanical and electrical compressors
  • Simulation of operating conditions in the HVAC cycle
  • VDA complied mounting bracket with decoupled seismic mass
  • Manual and automated test operation
  • Inline measurements of oil curculation ratio (OCR)
  • Endurance tests , FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests), etc.
  • Supports NVH tests and gas pulsation measurements
  • Easy compressor exchange by automatic coolant evacuation
  • Intuitive test bench control via IPEmotion software
