Keith Products has constructed a computerized environmental test lab at its facilities on Addison Airport to facilitate the design of efficient air conditioning systems and to insure that customer specifications are met precisely.

On an individual component level, the lab can evaluate the performance of evaporator and condenser coils, blowers and compressors. The lab can operate 12v dc, 28v dc or 400hz ac equipment. We can analyze electric driven systems as well as engine driven systems.

Most importantly, an entire air conditioning system can be assembled in the lab and operated under differing conditions while the computer monitors system performance. Our data acquisition system allows us to acquire 90 channels of information (pressures, temperatures, current draw, air flows, etc.) on a real time basis. In our lab, we can raise condenser room temperatures to as high as 140°F. In the evaporator room, temperature can be varied from 40°F to 130°F while relative humidity can be varied from 5-95%. These conditions can be held to a 1° tolerance while the system is operating.

By operating our systems in our test lab, our engineers are able to refine system design to achieve maximum efficiency and performance.
