ACS Calorimeters

ACS Calorimeters

Calorimeter Conditioners, Environmental Chambers

Product Overview

Climate change has brought about a changing of seasons characterized by increasingly extreme temperatures and has led to an increasing use of air conditioners, which have now become a commonly used appliance. These have a strong effect on the energy balance, leading to the search for increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions.

The ACS Calorimeter is capable of covering practically all test and qualification needs for domestic air conditioning systems, both split and monoblock, either functioning exclusively as air conditioners or also as heat pumps.

The ACS Calorimeter is able to work on domestic conditioners of a maximum capacity of 12 kW. Tests can be conducted in accordance with EC standard ISO 5151-2010, keeping in mind that it is very similar to the equivalent standards used in other industrial areas.

Complete with a software package, the product of years of experience in the field, which simplifies the running of the tests and provides an immediate reading of the significant parameters.

The software, in addition to processing the data to permit an immediate display of the testing progress, produces a report summarising the results attained and stating the characteristics of the tested conditioner.

Key Features
The performance of air conditioners depends on the temperature and humidity in both the outdoor environment and the conditioned environment. For this reason an instrument such as a calorimeter that is able to:
- simulate inside one chamber the outdoor environment in which the condensing unit operates;
- simulate in the other chamber the conditioned indoor environment;
- at the same time, measure the thermal power that the air conditioner is able to exchange with the outside;
Becomes a fundamental tool for the correct sizing of the product.

The tests can be conducted in compliance with the ISO 5151-2010 standard.

Control System
WinKratos is the software developed by ANGELANTONI Industrie S.P.A. for the monitoring and supervision of ATT climatic chambers through a PC (at customer care or on request), running under Windows (XP/VISTA/7 Professional version or higher).

Through WinKratos it is possible to create test profiles (programs), launch or interrupt the execution of a test in “manual” or “program” mode, display data in table or graphic form, and generate a report showing test results.

The software is designed to control not only single chambers but a whole test lab. It can then later be “scaled” and updated, if new machines are added to existing ones, with minimal impact in terms of time and resources.

Software Winkratos Multichambers

Main Features
- Connection of chambers of any type, by different kinds of interface in order to meet specific customer needs about distance, noise, etc… (Rs232, 485, 422, Ethernet)
- Colour printing on any kind of printer;
- Multiple access, password level.
Graphic Functions
- Fully-configurable layout of acquired measures’ charts;
- Display of several charts on the monitor;
- Several colours to be chosen at one’s choice for the display of different parameters’ curves;
- Enable/disable of chart display and grids;
- Real time update of acquired measures’ charts.
Operating Functions
- Create test programs;
- Refer to and modify previously created test programs;
- Delete all test programs that are no longer necessary;
- Print any test program in text format.
Acquisition Functions
- Real-time measurements of test parameters by means of graphic cursors;
- Maximum flexibility for cycles to be set;
- Storage of occurred events such as alarms, commands, etc…
Software
The KeyKratos Plus management software is embedded in the machine in built-in and completely dedicated hardware, which allows the control and management of the chamber functions. The chamber can be accessed remotely to take advantage of the advanced functions (such as the visual creation of thermoclimatic profiles, recordings management and graph analysis) using the WinKratos software that can be installed on a company PC.

Software drivers can be provided on request that allow you to manage the chamber directly from applications created by the customer.
