Heater Core and Radiator Calorimeters

  • Exactly measure, confirm, and report heat transfer characteristics

  • Precisely control flow and temperature supplies to achieve testing

  • Measure air side and fluid side pressure drops

  • Used as a stand alone system or integrated with other supporting modules including evaporator for complete heater evaporator and blower (HEB) testing

  • Data collection and computation through a PLC-based touch screen HMI, or available through LabVIEW automation software packages

  • For debris impact studies, an integrated “dust” system option for qualifying pressure drop and heat transfer degradation with dust intrusion
