Evaluation of RAC Components and Systems

Cool Concerns Ltd undertakes independent evaluation of tools, components and complete systems for clients.


We also carry out other evaluations, including:

Compressors, condensing units and packs;
Complete systems such as cellar cooling systems and chillers.


In all cases we work in close partnership with the client to ensure our recommendations closely match the actual requirement. We now have our own facility near Tewkesbury in which evaluation work can be carried out.
 


Example we have carried out an in depth evaluation of remote and integral display cases..

The project was split into several stages:

1. Discussion with the client regarding display case requirements – sizes, types, performance as well as the importance of serviceability and life time cost;

2. Paper study of a wide range of cases meeting the basic requirements, comparing the published performance to select the best six for further evaluation;

3. Managing the testing of the selected cases to the relevant test standard, including liaising with the test facility and the case suppliers;

4. Investigating the ease of installation and service of each case;

5. Assessing the test results to select the cases which had the best temperature performance and most closely matched the client’s other requirements.

The client used the information provided by the testing to accurately estimate the life cycle cost of each option and now uses the cases which most closely meet the requirement of good temperature performance coupled with low lifetime ownership costs. This work subsequently won a Cooling Industry Award.
