Rethinking air conditioning systems
Ensure comfort. Increase efficiency.
Whether summer heat or winter cold - air conditioning is a key factor for driving comfort, energy efficiency and range. PTS-Prüftechnik combines simulation, test bench and vehicle to create a holistic development and validation concept that evaluates systems reliably and practically.
From the simulation to the vehicle
Tailor-made solutions for every climate zone
Increasing demands on comfort, energy efficiency and alternative drives require optimized air conditioning systems. PTS-Prüftechnik provides you with comprehensive support: from simulation and test bench testing to validation in the vehicle. We flexibly align our processes to your requirements and realistically map individual boundary conditions. This results in air conditioning systems that prove themselves in every climate zone - efficient, comfortable and future-proof.
