Testing Capabilities

Dimplex Thermal Solutions routinely subjects all our products to a series of functional testing prior to shipment. There is not a universal test that will suffice for every machine we build. Each machine is tested specifically to its own designed intent. There are many tests that do apply to most of our machines. The list below indicates our capabilities of common test practices. This list can’t be all inclusive, as customers will have unique needs that can be accommodated by the following as well as specialized test programs.

Tests:

• Refrigeration pressure test, prior to charging
• Pump capacity, using glycol, water or oil (flow rate, pressure)
• Thermal load capability (machine capacity, btu/hr)
• Electrical motor power (FLA) (pumps and fans)
• Basic sound tests

Specialized Test capabilities:

• Low ambient test capabilities to -10 F
• High ambient test capabilities to 140F
• Two oil test stands (capacity to 10 tons)
• Four water based fluid test stands (capacities to 60 tons)
• NIST traceable equipments required for UL 1995 (Chiller standard)
• 600 PSI pressure resting capability for heat exchangers
• 250 PSI routine refrigeration leak test on each unit 2 tons and up
• 150 PSI routine refrigeration leak test on each unit less than 2 tons
• Power analysis equipment (new meter we just bought)
• Basic air flow test
