Cycling and Pressure Testing of Refrigerant Coils

Intertek performs Cycling and Pressure testing on HVAC/R equipment to ensure compliance with UL 1995.

Manufacturers of HVAC/R equipment are now required to use a more ozone friendly refrigerant (R-410A); one that operates at a significantly higher pressure level. The resulting cycling and safety testing requirements are much more demanding and complex than they have been in the past. Trust the world’s largest independent HVAC/R testing company to evaluate and certify your equipment’s safety and performance.

Complete Testing Program 

Intertek performs a variety of tests, spanning from design, to safety, to ongoing performance. Intertek’s goal is to help manufacturers reduce cost and design safe, energy efficient HVAC/R equipment. Testing services include:

• Cyclic Testing
• Complete Safety Testing
• Performance Testing
• Materials Compatibility Testing
• Compressor Testing

Plan Ahead  

Cyclic testing and Safety testing have become increasingly rigorous throughout the years. While Hydrostatic testing at lower pressure could be performed in a few days, Cyclic and Safety testing at high pressure can take up to a month. To save time and money, Intertek can help you test these components simultaneously while the system is already set up.

Avoid Product Recall and Premature System Failure 

With Materials Compatibility testing, Intertek can help manufacturers take the necessary steps to avoid accidental leaks that result from gaskets deteriorating prematurely. This will help to improve the performance of your product and avoid costly product recalls.

Trim Costs On Design 

Intertek can assist in determining the optimum coil design, one that will withstand the required pressure thresholds, but won’t be stronger than necessary. By helping to find the right design, Intertek can help to reduce your manufacturing costs.
