VALUE OF LOAD TESTING
17
Value of load testing through the
equipment lifecycle
• Proves equipment is
properly integrated
• Tests all critical components
Commissioning
Maintenance
• Verifies corrective
action or system design
change
• Valuable for recommissioning
18
System
Updates
• Validates operation and
efficiency
• Critical for complex systems
with multiple components,
devices, firmware, and
software
Value of Load Testing During
Integrated System Test

Best Practices
Facility Optimization
 Advanced controls allow operator to
control entire load bank string remotely
 Allows for more sophisticated
modeling of electrical load steps and
dynamic thermal load

26
The Water Cooled offering
 EXLS 250 and LBW 500.
 Auto-flow control that allows the user
to program the desired Delta T and
the unit will control the flow to
provide the desired value.
