What is a Danfoss Application Development Center?
The main goal of the Tallahassee Application Development Center is to help you test new air conditioning solutions and improve performance on your applications in a live environment. This facility has been specifically set up to support air conditioning testing for our customers and partners in North and South America, but can also offer global support. The ADC is located next door to our Danfoss Turbocor® facility, which allows for a high degree of cooperation on oil-free solutions.
What are the capabilities of the ADC in Tallahassee, Florida?
The ADC building is ~23,700ft2 and includes three fully automatic sets of psychrometric test facilities. These range from 1.2 TR (4.2 KW) to 12TR (42KW) for a side-by-side setup, from 5 TR (17.5KW) to 50TR (175KW) for an over–under setup, and up to 150TR (525KW) for an air-cooled chiller test.
Our test facilities meet all generally known and accepted testing standards. We are also open to accommodating special testing requests. For example, our temperature testing range has already been extended beyond both the higher and lower standard requirements. Additionally, we have the ability to test applications charged with mildly flammable refrigerants.
At this ADC, we can test the following applications:
- Various types of residential air conditioners, including split systems, ducted split systems, packaged systems, and heat pumps
- Precision air conditioners for data center cooling
- Light commercial rooftop units
- Commercial rooftop units
- Air-cooled chillers
