What Is Heat Load Testing?
As the name suggests, heat load testing is conducted through the use of an aritifical heat load. This heat load is generated in order to test if your existing cooling systems are able to handle it.
To perform the test, industrial heaters are strategically placed around the space. Afterwhich, a heat load specialist will determine the amount of heat to be generated. Temperature sensor are positioned at every strategic location for recording.
Your cooling system can then be tested at varying loads over different time periods. Heat load tests typically last anywhere from a week to 3 weeks depending on the requirements.
