Tests conducted within the field of Climate Engineering encompass the set of measurements necessary to establish combustion and energy consumption evaluations, in the aim of determining the overall performance of various types of systems (heat pumps, heating devices). These resources are also deployed in testing the safety of using an array of product types, like smoke exhaust ducts, ethanol combustion chambers and charcoal-fired barbecues.
Among the services we make available in this field, please note the following :
To satisfy these testing needs, the LNE Laboratory features the following set of instruments :
