New Pressure Test Installation Enables York Refrigeration to Safely Verify Vessel Integrity
According to Jan Marcussen, Quality Director with York Refrigeration, the increase was made possible by replacing a slow, expensive hydrotest procedure with air pressure testing to speed up the final certification of pressure vessels and reduce energy costs. However, the existing test chambers could no longer be used because any flaws in a vessel could result in an explosion under high air pressures. To provide a safe environment for personnel conducting tests, the company built a new, stateof-the-art facility that safely accommodates compressed air testing.
