BELT-DRIVEN COMPRESSOR TESTING
Reproduce belt-drive operating conditions in the laboratory
A configurable mechanical drive and refrigerant load platform for durability, performance and clutch-cycle testing of conventional vehicle A/C compressors.
Conventional Vehicle A/C · Durability & Performance
Mechanical drive and thermal load under coordinated control
An electric drive system replaces the vehicle engine and operates the compressor through a project-specific mounting and belt arrangement. Speed profiles, clutch commands and refrigerant conditions are coordinated by the same control software, allowing mechanical operating events to be reviewed with thermal and pressure measurements.
Durability and performance in one configurable platform
Variable-speed endurance
Constant-speed stages, ramps and cyclic speed profiles across the agreed mechanical operating range.
Clutch and start-stop cycling
Programmable clutch engagement, disengagement and restart sequences with timestamped events.
Capacity and input characteristics
Cooling capacity, power or torque-related measurements according to the configured instrumentation.
Boundary-condition operation
High-load, low-speed, pressure-differential and other project-defined test profiles.
Fixtures and drive hardware built for the compressor
Drive and mounting
Motor, belt drive, coupling, tensioning and compressor fixture selected for speed, torque and installation needs.
Speed and torque measurement
Speed feedback and optional torque transducers integrated into the acquisition system.
Refrigerant circuit
Condenser, evaporator, expansion and valve assemblies sized for the compressor and test envelope.
Guarding and interlocks
Mechanical guarding, abnormal-vibration response, overtemperature and emergency-stop functions as configured.
Final ranges, accuracy and interfaces are confirmed in the project technical agreement.
Control & Data Software
See clutch, speed and refrigerant events on the same timeline
Test recipes coordinate drive speed, clutch output and thermal setpoints. Operators can overlay trends, review events and export results without manually aligning separate logs.
