To quantify the performance of hermetic compressors, Re/Gent has developed a family of compressor calorimeters with a cooling capacity range varying from 10 W to 22 kW. The calorimeters are designed and manufactured in house and supplied to customers worldwide. Each calorimeter combines precision hardware, advanced data acquisition & control, and powerful analysis software to deliver fast, reliable, and repeatable compressor measurements.
Why choose Re/Gent calorimeters?
- State-of-the-art instrumentation for high accuracy and stability.
- Fully automatic operation so testing is fast, repeatable and operator friendly.
- Flexible refrigerant support, including hydrocarbons, CO₂, HFO/HFC blends and low-charge operation for safe handling of flammable refrigerants.
- Built for both engineering and production use, from prototype research to high-throughput quality control.
Operators simply install the compressor (suction & discharge lines and electrical connections) and enter the desired operating field. The calorimeter then performs the entire test sequence automatically. Because the system controls and logs every parameter automatically, test reproducibility and data integrity are guaranteed.
Fully controllable operating parameters:
- Evaporation pressure
- Condensation pressure
- Subcooling temperature
- Superheating temperature
- Suction-gas temperature
- Compressor ambient temperature
- Supply voltage and frequency
- Compressor speed (for variable-speed compressors)
This level of control lets you characterize compressor behavior across realistic operating points and generate detailed performance maps.
