Automated process management, data acquisition and analytics, including norm-compliant reporting for refrigeration component and system test facilities.

Precise process automation enables reproducible measurement sequences and increased efficiency. Integrated visualizations as well as dedicated online and offline analysis tools ensure structured data handling and high user convenience. Software-based generation of norm-compliant reports ensures objective and timely evaluation of results.

We offer the development of flexible, modular LabVIEW applications for the automation of test sequences, reliable data evaluation, and precise documentation of measurements. Our extensive experience in heat pump testing laboratories and test rig construction allows us to deliver minimized testing durations, conclusive analyses, and norm-compliant results.

Our software applications provide:

• Flexible hardware integration (e.g., OPC UA, Modbus TCP, LIN bus)
• High-precision data acquisition, scaling, and storage of data
• Graphical process visualization (interactive Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams & dashboards)
• Automated test sequences with integrated online analytics and safety monitoring
• Database connectivity (e.g., SQL, InfluxDB) and export to standard formats
• Calculation of thermophysical properties, offline analytics, and standardized reporting
• Integration of new test benches into existing testing environments

Application Examples

• Testing and characterization of heat pumps (EN 14511, EN 14825, EN 16147)
• Performance and endurance testing for refrigerant compressors (EN 12900, EN 13771)
• Performance testing of heat exchangers
• Electrical power measurement
• Evaluation of calibration data (temperature and pressure) and automated generation of certificates (DKD-R 5-1, DKD-R 6-1)
