Our AHRI-approved test facility provides
unmatched air-cooled chiller testing capabilities,
with the ability to test 20-500 ton air-cooled
chillers over a wide range of conditions:
• Test a 20 ton air-cooled chiller at full load
under 110°F ambient test conditions even
during the sub-freezing temperatures of our
winter months.
• Or, test a 500 ton chiller at minimum load
under 55°F ambient test conditions during
our warmest summer months when outdoor
temperatures can exceed 100°F.
• Or, simulate glycol by testing the saturated
evaporator temperature from the glycol
selection as long as the saturated
temperature is 37°F or higher.
We are able to replicate your jobsite conditions by
matching the leaving chilled water temperature,
flow rates and ambient temperatures.
Air-Cooled Chiller Testing
The test facility is located 4,700 feet above sea
level, so test conditions may be submitted based
on either:
• predicted performance at this elevation, or
• sea level, with the test results adjusted per
AHRI Standard 550/590, Appendix F
according to the barometric pressure of the
test facility on the day of the test.
We can test water-cooled chillers over a wide
range of operating conditions:
• leaving evaporator temperatures down to
38°F or up to 50°F
• simulated for glycol with saturated
evaporator temperatures down to 37°F
• entering condenser temperatures from 60°F
to 130°F
With the growing number of geothermal
applications, we can also accommodate chillers
running in the heating mode, as our facility is
designed to test units with leaving condenser
water temperatures up to 140°F.
Water-Cooled Chiller Testing
Rapid Restart
For many mission-critical
applications, bringing a
chiller back online rapidly
after a power loss is crucial.
When every second counts,
having this rapid restart
capability proven on the test
stand will demonstrate the
chiller’s ability to adapt to
power-loss situations.
