Calorimeters

Climate change has brought about a changing of seasons characterized by increasingly extreme temperatures and has led to an increasing use of air conditioners, which have now become a commonly used appliance. These have a strong effect on the energy balance, leading to the search for increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions. ACS has developed a line of standard calorimeters that cover the testing and certification needs for home air conditioning systems, both split and monoblock types, and for testing air conditioners in the automotive industry. The performance of air conditioners depends on the temperature and humidity in both the outdoor environment and the conditioned environment. For this reason an instrument such as a calorimeter that is able to: * simulate inside one chamber the outdoor environment in which the condensing unit operates; * simulate in the other chamber the conditioned indoor environment; * at the same time, measure the thermal power that the air conditioner is able to exchange with the outside; Becomes a fundamental tool for the correct sizing of the product. The tests can be conducted in compliance with the ISO 5151-2010 standard.
