Abstract
A performance testing method of air conditioner, adapted to simultaneously test performance of indoor units and outdoor units on a production line for concurrently assembling the indoor units and outdoor units, the method comprising the steps of: firstly testing operability of indoor unit and leakage of outdoor units; connecting a communication line between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit; connecting a pipe between the outdoor unit and a dummy indoor unit; secondly testing a communicative operation between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit and operability of the outdoor unit; and comprehensively discriminating performances of the indoor unit and outdoor unit according to test data disclosed from the first and second testing procedures.
Claims17
A method of testing the performance of a separation-type air conditioner, the method comprising the steps of:
- pairing a concurrently assembled indoor unit and outdoor unit of a separation-type air conditioner to make a set;
- and
- simultaneously testing said set, said step of simultaneously testing comprising the steps of:
- connecting a communication line between said indoor unit and said outdoor unit;
- and
- connecting a refrigerant pipe between said outdoor unit and a dummy indoor unit.
A performance testing device for a separation-type air conditioner, the device comprising:
- a performance discriminating means for analyzing data of a test set of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit of a separation-type air conditioner;
- a bar code reader for inputting bar code data of the test set to the performance discriminating means;
- a first test procedure means connected to the performance discriminating means, said first test procedure means comprising:
- a gas detector for detecting refrigerant gas leaking from the outdoor unit;
- an indoor RPM measurer for measuring the revolution rate of a motor of the indoor unit;
- a gas leakage switch for indicating gas leakage;
- an operation switch for indicating operational status of the indoor unit;
- an abnormal room noise switch for indicating abnormal noise of the indoor unit;
- a first test procedure start switch;
- and
- a first test procedure end switch;
- a second test procedure means connected to the performance discriminating means, said second test procedure means comprising:
- an automatic voltage regulator for preventing damage to equipment due to overvoltage or low voltage;
- a power meter;
- a voltage resistance tester;
- an outdoor RPM tester for measuring the revolution rate of a motor of the outdoor unit;
- a dummy indoor unit, for connecting to the outdoor unit;
- a temperature recorder for measuring the temperature difference between an inlet and outlet of the dummy indoor unit;
- a pressure measurer;
- a cooling/heating remote controller;
- a bad heating switch, for indicating bad heating;
- an abnormal outdoor noise switch, for indicating abnormal noise of the outdoor unit;
- a bad communication switch, for indicating bad communication between the indoor unit and outdoor unit;
- a second test procedure start switch;
- and
- a second test procedure end switch;
- and
- display means connected to the performance discrimination means.
