AMT Kältetechnik GmbH
AMT Kältetechnik GmbH specialises in planning, maintaining, servicing and installing commercial and industrial cooling systems, cooling equipment and/or air-conditioning systems. A manufacturer of automotive test benches assigned AMT to install a chassis dynamometer capable of simulating air flow of cars up to the size of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Rising to the challenge
In designing, delivering and installing two air coolers for the test bench, Kelvion faced significant challenges. The available space was limited both by size and strict specifications. The air cooler had to be able to operate in a temperature range between -30 °C and +60°C, which required sophisticated moisture regulation. In addition, the air performance also had to be increased. The volume flow had to be 20% stronger than the simulated air flow of up to 150 km/h from the air flow fan.

Custom-made for maximum performance and minimal space
Our specialists delivered and installed two large air coolers, each with a 1.1 km2 cooling surface, between mid-2018 and 2019. The coils (Cu/AL), with a housing made out of sendzimir galvanised sheet steel, were custom-made according to the limited space conditions and installed above each other, together with a defrost flap and external compression.

The result
The new system has been running successfully since May 2019 much to the delight of a very satisfied customer.
