From Research
Sierra’s products are the result of ongoing research supported by a modern laboratory, the CERT3000,, equipped with a tunnel for the thermodynamic testing of heat exchangers and calorimetric chambers in which to precisely test heat exchangers under actual usage conditions.
All products, technologically advanced, are based on targeted and optimized research: Sierra is at the forefront of this.
To Integrated Design
Leveraging the results from its own laboratory and the expertise of its technicians, Sierra is able to contribute from the very beginning of the heat exchanger project, collaborating with the client to achieve the optimal solution for its own needs.
All our products are the result of our research laboratories
Research Center
CERT3000
With the CERT3000, developers and designers of air conditioning units, refrigeration systems, and heat exchange devices have at their disposal a 450 sqm complex. This space is equipped with experimental facilities for testing, with a complete service for energy efficiency, which only a leading company like Sierra can provide.
Tests performed by
CERT3000
The CERT3000 laboratory is capable of conducting performance tests on individual heat exchangers using hot or cold water, or with A1 and A2L refrigerants in evaporation or condensation, using the enthalpy tunnel. Additionally, operational tests and energy performance assessments of the entire machine can be carried out in the calorimetric chambers.
For data acquisition, the laboratory utilizes high-precision and periodically calibrated thermoresistances, pressure transducers, humidity sensors, and flow meters with high-precision and they are periodically calibrated with reference certificates from ACCREDIA. It is also equipped with a thermal imaging camera for the analysis of temperature distribution and anemometers for measuring air distribution.
