SAMPLE APPROVAL RISK

Testing Data Helps Buyers Approve Samples with Confidence

For custom heat exchangers and refrigeration coils, buyers need more than appearance inspection. They need validation data that supports heat transfer performance, airflow behavior, corrosion resistance, leakage control, pressure safety and long-term application reliability.

Unverified Thermal Performance

Problem: A coil may look correct but still fail to meet cooling or heating capacity targets.
Solution: Thermal performance testing and engineering review can help buyers compare design expectations with measured or project-specific validation data.

Airflow and Pressure Drop Uncertainty

Problem: Uneven airflow or excessive pressure drop can reduce heat exchanger performance in HVAC and refrigeration systems.
Solution: Wind tunnel testing or airflow analysis can help review air-side performance, flow distribution and coil resistance.

Corrosion Risk in Harsh Environments

Problem: Commercial kitchens, coastal areas, industrial environments and humid cold rooms may accelerate corrosion.
Solution: Salt spray testing and material review can support coating or material selection for corrosion-sensitive applications.

Pressure and Safety Concerns

Problem: Heat exchangers used in refrigeration, CO2, industrial cooling or liquid cooling projects may face pressure-related risks.
Solution: Pressure testing, burst testing discussion and project-specific validation help reduce safety and reliability risks.

Airflow Distribution

Review whether airflow passes evenly through the coil face area and whether structural changes affect air-side performance.

Pressure Drop Review

Measure or evaluate resistance across the coil to support fan selection and system design.

Performance Comparison

Compare different fin spacing, tube layouts, coil sizes or airflow directions before sample approval.

CORROSION REVIEW

Salt Spray Testing for Corrosion Resistance Review

Salt spray testing can help evaluate corrosion resistance for coated coils, aluminum fins, copper tubes, stainless steel components or exposed metal surfaces. It is useful for commercial refrigeration, coastal HVAC, industrial refrigeration and humid operating environments.

Aluminum Fin Protection

Supports review of fin corrosion resistance in humid or coastal environments.

Stainless Steel Components

Helps evaluate corrosion-conscious material selection for industrial or food-related applications.

Application Environment Review

Testing requirements should match humidity, salt exposure, cleaning chemicals and operating conditions.

PRESSURE SAFETY

Burst Testing for Pressure Safety Review

Burst testing can be used to evaluate pressure-bearing performance, structural safety margins and failure behavior for selected heat exchanger or refrigeration component designs. It is especially relevant when buyers have pressure, refrigerant, CO2, industrial refrigeration or liquid cooling safety requirements.

Pressure Test Procedure

Sample Preparation

Prepare the test sample according to product structure, connection method and project requirement.

Pressure Increase

Increase pressure under controlled conditions according to the agreed test plan.

Failure or Limit Observation

Observe deformation, leakage, joint condition or failure behavior during pressure evaluation.

FAQ

Heat Exchanger Testing Laboratory FAQ

A heat exchanger testing laboratory may review thermal performance, airflow behavior, pressure drop, leakage, corrosion resistance, pressure safety and sample validation data depending on the product and project requirements.
Wind tunnel testing support should be confirmed according to available equipment, project data and sample requirements. If available, it can help evaluate airflow, pressure drop and air-side heat transfer performance.
Salt spray testing is used to evaluate corrosion resistance of materials, coatings or metal surfaces under controlled salt fog conditions. Test duration and standard should match the project requirement.
Test duration is not a universal product claim. Confirm the applicable standard, specimen and coating, available equipment or laboratory, duration, acceptance criteria and report format in writing before quotation.
Burst testing evaluates how a pressure-bearing component behaves under increasing pressure. It may help review structural safety margin, deformation or failure behavior for selected heat exchanger projects.
If a real burst test video is available for the product or process, Domi can share it subject to project approval. If not available, a specific test plan may need to be discussed.
Please provide product type, drawing, working medium, inlet and outlet temperature, airflow or liquid flow rate, pressure conditions, capacity target and required report format.
Testing reports can support sample approval by documenting test conditions, measured data, observations and engineering review notes. Final acceptance depends on buyer requirements.
Domi can review leak testing requirements based on product structure, refrigerant, pressure and customer specifications. The testing method should be confirmed before production.
Testing location depends on available equipment, product type and project requirements. Some tests may be performed in-house, while others may require third-party laboratory support.
