Abstract

The process of creation and improvement of small refrigerating machines, the way of increasing their energy efficiency and reducing costs should be provided with reliable means and effective technologies of technical diagnosing these machines. One of the methods for achieving this goal is the creation of robotic research complexes. The authors, using the example of the automated research stand, show a possible variant of solving research problems when the researcher needs to make a measurement program, including a program of varying experimental conditions. Long-term tests with recording measurement results are performed in automatic mode without the operator-researcher’s participation. The robotic stand usually replaces the research operator, and ensures the effective results of long-term studies as they can be carried out more qualitatively and deeply, with simultaneous evaluation of results and adjustments of the measurement plans. The scheme and description of the developed stand are given. The significant advantages of a robotic stand are shown in comparison with the known analogous means of technical diagnostics of small refrigerating machines.
