Testing device for air conditioner

Abstract

A testing device for an air conditioner that includes an indoor unit chamber, a first outdoor unit chamber, and a second outdoor unit chamber. The indoor unit chamber includes first and second heat exchangers. A first outdoor unit in the first outdoor unit chamber cooperates with the first heat exchanger to heat the indoor unit chamber, and a second outdoor unit in the second outdoor unit chamber cooperates with the second heat exchanger to cool the indoor unit chamber. A heat transfer channel between selected chambers selectively permits mutual or one-way heat transfer and may comprise an airflow channel having opposed flow paths, a fan, and a controllable damper biased toward closure. The chambers may be arranged linearly. The device may further include external air inflow and outflow channels for ambient heat exchange, partitions with mounting frames for the heat exchangers, and a refrigerant outlet for discharging leaked refrigerant.
