• Safety Mechanisms: Evaluate safety devices such as thermal protection, pressure relief, and overcurrent protection to ensure reliable and safe operation.

2. Performance Validation

• Cooling Capacity Testing: Determines the actual cooling performance of the air conditioner under various operating conditions.

• Airflow & Efficiency Testing: Ensures that the system delivers consistent airflow and operates at optimal efficiency levels.

• Energy Efficiency Testing: Includes SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) to confirm compliance with energy-saving standards and certifications.

3. Component-Specific Evaluations

• Heat Exchangers: Testing for thermal efficiency, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. This includes testing under extreme environmental conditions (such as high humidity or salt exposure) to simulate real-world conditions.

• Compressors: Evaluation for pressure tolerance, vibration endurance, energy consumption, and noise levels. This ensures long-term reliability and efficiency.

• Temperature Controllers: Calibration accuracy, response time, and error detection tests to ensure precise temperature regulation and user comfort.

4. Environmental & Durability Testing

• Humidity and Thermal Shock Resistance: Tests to ensure your air conditioners perform optimally under extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity conditions.

• Salt Spray Resistance: Particularly important for coastal regions, this test ensures your product’s components resist corrosion in salty, moist environments.

• Endurance Testing: Long-duration testing to simulate years of operational use, ensuring the longevity of components and overall system performance.
