Commercial refrigeration original equipment manufacturers (OEM) will now be able to utilize Danfoss’ Application Development Center (ADC) in Tallahassee, Fla., for their product testing needs. Yesterday, Danfoss opened an additional chamber in the ADC specifically for the testing of food retail and commercial refrigeration equipment utilizing A3, A2L or non-flammable refrigerants. With refrigerant and energy efficiency regulations necessitating product redesigns over the past few years, this new Danfoss testing facility will enable OEMs to get their products to market more quickly.
Since its opening in 2017, the ADC in Tallahassee has worked with customers to develop and test new HVAC/R products and solutions, with the ability to simulate a variety of environmental and operational conditions. The addition of a testing lab geared specifically to the needs of commercial refrigeration and food retail customers allows Danfoss to address the challenges its customers are facing with the transition to low-GWP refrigerants and help them meet efficiency standards.
Christopher Gangemi, key account manager at Danfoss, noted that the testing lab fills a gap: “Many of our OEM customers don’t have the ability to test at their own facility. Now customers can send us their equipment for testing. We can also work with them to determine if using Danfoss components with their equipment will enable them to achieve greater energy efficiency.”…
