Danfoss India launches psychrometric lab

With the national and global thrust on energy efficiency, Danfoss India has set up one of a kind lab — the psychrometric (PSR) lab — which tests products for energy efficiency standards, and has the potential to redefine manufacturing and designing of energy efficient products in the country.

The lab was unveiled by Ajay Mathur, Director General, Bureau of Energy Efficiency. The lab is seen as a step towards addressing India’s energy security through energy efficiency, by helping stakeholders in performance testing of their air conditioning components that contribute to maximum load on power grids.

“Industries are a key pivot of our GDP and Danfoss, by investing in the psychrometric lab, has set the direction towards embracing energy efficient technologies to achieve their sustainability goals. This initiative will further support the air-conditioning and refrigeration industries in developing new innovative energy efficient products,” Ajay Mathur said.

Danfoss India president Ravichandran Purushothaman said: “Danfoss invests 4.3 per cent of net sales into innovation globally.  The investment in the  PSR lab in India will support innovation and help our customers in developing equipment for the existing and new energy efficiency standards.”
