Application Areas
for Test Benches
Ventilation Systems and Fluid Dynamics
Wind tunnels for measuring fans aerodynamic performance (airflow measurement with nozzle chamber ISO5801 and AMCA 210), test systems for pressure drop analysis in filters and valves, leakage and sealing tests (e.g., tanks, air handling units, heat recovery units), and hydraulic pumps performance testing, including NPSH determination (ISO 9906).
Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Test benches and calorimetric rigs for HVAC components such as compressors, expansion valves, evaporators, or condensers. Closed-loop enthalpy tunnels for evaluating thermal performance and pressure drop in heat exchangers (finned coils, cross-flow, e.g., Ashrae 33, UNI EN 327, 328, 1216) air-to-air, air-to-liquid, and dedicated benches for plate heat exchangers.
Climatic Chambers
Advantech TIME provides expert support in selecting, designing, and supplying the most suitable climatic chamber for a wide range of needs, such as testing refrigerators, chillers, heat pumps, and household appliances, from small home devices to large-scale commercial refrigeration systems.
Other Applications
The possible applications are (almost) endless! Examples include engine brake benches, torque measurement systems as add-on to fans testing in nozzle chambers, thermal characterization tests of electric motor windings, and acoustic tests on cooling nozzles.
One of Advantech TIME’s specialties is developing innovative testing methods, which then lead to highly customized test benches designed to meet the most complex application needs.
Test Bench Revamping
Advantech TIME acts as a system integrator for clients looking to upgrade their testing systems: integration of new software, hardware components, or measuring instruments, compliance upgrades, or complete renewal of test facilities.
Thanks to years of experimental activities carried out both in-house and at client facilities, companies like Yokogawa Italy and Aumico rely on Advantech TIME for the crucial role of system integrator.
