Heating System Test StandTest Rig for Heat Pumps, Gas Boilers, and Other Heating Systems
We support in-house engineers in the professional setup of heating system test stands (e. g. gas boiler and heat pump test rigs). You bring the ideas, we take care of procurement and setup, including piping, sensors, electrical systems, and hydraulics.
- High flexibility
- Top quality
- On-time delivery
Custom heating system test rigConstructive collaboration
We bring your test stand ideas for heat pumps, gas boilers, and other heating systems in the home sector to life. The heating system test rigs are used in development or manufacturing to analyse the function, performance, efficiency, and safety of the system under test.
Typically, our customers provide the software and control technology themselves. We handle everything else, such as the casing, piping, sensors, hydraulics, and electrical systems (including control cabinets and wiring).
SensorsTest data we can capture
As part of the testing, the heating system test stands capture important operating data to evaluate the system under test, possibly in accordance with standards such as DIN EN 14511 and EN 14825 for heat pumps, or EN 15502 and EN 304 for gas boilers. The data can include:
Temperature
Measurement of the temperature, for example, at the inlets and outlets of the heating system, refrigerant, supply air, exhaust gases, or in the heat transfer medium circuit
Pressure
Measurement of pressure, for example, in the heat transfer medium and refrigerant circuits or in the fuel supply and exhaust systems
Flow rate
For example, flow rates of the heat transfer medium, refrigerants, fuels, or exhaust gases
Energy consumption
Determination of the required electrical power or the current gas, oil, or combustible consumption
Exhaust gases
Analysis of exhaust gas concentrations, for example, CO2, CO, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other combustion products
Calculated metrics
Calculations such as heating and cooling capacity, coefficient of performance (COP), efficiency, or exhaust loss
Simulated componentsWhat we can simulate
The manufactured heating system test rigs simulate the real, future environment of the heating system, enabling comprehensive, precise, and repeatable tests. Important components may include:
Heat sources & sinks
Components to simulate heat sources and sinks, such as immersion heaters, solar thermal systems, or shower heat recovery
Air, water & brine circuits
Piping to simulate the heat transfer medium circuits (gas or liquid) of the building
Energy supply
For example, electrical voltage (with or without photovoltaic, battery, etc.) or fuel supply (e.g., gas feed) and exhaust lines
Types of testsWhere, when, and how do you want to test?
Development test stand
In research and development departments, there is usually a focus on comprehensive environmental simulation to allow prototypes to be compared extensively, objectively, and precisely. Our solutions can also be used as endurance test stands.
In-line test stand
Along the manufacturing line, the focus is typically on testing individual components (e. g., electrical function tests or leak tests).
End-of-line test stand
At the end of the production line, quality defects should be identified before delivery. Typical in-line tests that were not carried out earlier are made up for. Additionally, tests focussing on heating and cooling performance as well as product safety are performed.
ApplicationsTypical use cases
We manufacture test stands for heating systems in the home sector. These include:
Heat pump test rig
Heat pump test rig solutions for all types of heat pumps, e. g., air-to-air, air-to-water, or brine-to-water, in accordance with DIN EN 14511 and EN 14825 standards
Gas boiler test rig
Reliable gas boiler test rig solutions for natural gas or LPG devices according to EN 15502 and EN 304 standards
Oil heating test stand
Oil heating test stand solutions for oil-fired condensing boilers or oil-solar hybrid systems
Pellet heating test stand
Pellet heating test stand solutions for pellet boilers (central heating systems)
