Test Rigs

Automated Testing Solutions for efficient compressor development

 

Our Test Rigs are fully automated systems developed to support the comprehensive development and testing of A/C and heat pump compressors.

Designed to be flexible, they accommodate a variety of refrigerants, including R744 (CO), R290 (Propane), R1234yf, and R134a, along with customer-specific requirements like additional sensors and custom energy supplies, providing high dynamic simulation through their integrated hot gas cycle​.

How can we help your company?

Customized Test Rig Solutions

We adapt our test rigs to meet your specific requirements, whether it’s handling different refrigerants or incorporating unique components for advanced testing.

Testing Capacity Rental

Offering the option to rent our testing capacity, allowing customers to carry out rigorous compressor testing without the need for a long-term investment.

Test Rig Servicing

Comprehensive servicing of test rigs to ensure they operate at peak efficiency throughout their lifespan.

Benchmark Testing

We perform detailed compressor testing to provide benchmarking data, helping you optimize compressor performance against industry standards​.

Technical

SPECIFICATIONS

Our test rigs are designed for full automation, allowing a single operator to run multiple rigs simultaneously. This significantly reduces the manpower required for extended durability tests and increases testing efficiency.

Thanks to our pioneering mentality in compressor technology, our test rigs can operate with a wide range of refrigerants, including R744 (CO) and R290 (Propane).

This flexibility ensures that your compressors are tested under realistic conditions that reflect real-world use, helping you to meet market demands and regulatory standards​.

The integrated hot gas cycle enables high dynamics and realistic simulation of the operational envelope. This feature allows for precise testing of compressor performance, ensuring that engineering results are finely tuned to customer needs.

Obrist’s test rigs are designed as standalone systems, offering a fully self-contained testing environment. This means the rigs do not require integration into larger systems, making setup and operation straightforward and efficient.
