Psychrometric Rooms are used by air conditioner manufacturers to determine the thermal performance of unitary air conditioners and split systems. Tescor utilizes dual rooms (indoor and outdoor) and the air enthalpy method to determine unit capacities and provide heat balances. Our systems are designed per ASHRAE Standard 37. Psychrometric Test Room
 

Code testers, that include AMCA nozzles, provide accurate determination of the test unit air flows and outlet air conditions. Tescor's control software allows the user to perform all of the ARI standard tests and allows the user to perform SEER and HSPF calculations off-line.

Tescor's Psychrometric Test Rooms are able to control such parameters as Indoor Room Dry Bulb Temperature, Indoor Room Dew Point, Outdoor Room Dry Bulb Temperature, Outdoor Room Dew Point Temperature, Indoor Room Unit Under Test (UUT) Airflow, Outdoor Room UUT Airflow and UUT Voltage.
