In-house modern thermal laboratory with a broad range of testing capabilities.
Continuous product development is essential to provide clients with the best-in-class heat exchangers. With our thermal laboratory, we can verify our design ideas swiftly and improve the products we offer.
The development of heat exchangers has taught us that, from an engineering perspective, every project requires an individual approach.
Building full awareness of the offered product by understanding its working mechanisms has become an essential aspect affecting a project's overall success. One of the critical elements to delivering all new product parameters is to perform complete testing.
Our thermal laboratory has been built as a step ahead to meet the continuously growing market demand for complex products. In order to deliver them to clients, it is essential to perform in-depth verification of their overall effectiveness and reliability.
Consisting of a specific purpose-designed apparatus certified according to ISO 9001 and operated by an experienced team of engineers, our thermal laboratory has all the necessary capabilities to support the comprehensive development of our products.
AIC’s thermal laboratory can perform all necessary tests for most heat exchangers in order to check their effectiveness and reliability. A team of experienced test engineers has all the required skills to adapt all available equipment and apparatus to the specific tests required in the project.
We take full advantage of the in-house thermal laboratory. We run all tests agilely, managing them quickly and, if necessary, reacting with rapid implementation of design changes to the tested device. It reduces the time needed for a particular unit to be fully verified.
We have experience with testing procedures for a number of different standards and organisations, such as ErP, ASHRAE, ISO, etc. Certifications of ISO 9001, ISO 17025, and ISO 15502 guarantee the highest level of reliability of all tests carried out in the thermal lab.
