  • Outside heat exchanger thaw and freeze test apparatus
    Patent number: 12000751
    Abstract: A testing apparatus includes a base structure and a supporting structure rotatably coupled to the base structure. The supporting structure includes an engaging portion configured to engage a liquid-retaining article. A load cell assembly connects the base structure to the supporting structure. The load cell assembly includes a load cell configured to measure a reaction force present between the base structure and the supporting structure resulting from an imbalance of the supporting structure about an axis of rotation thereof. The reaction force corresponds to a weight of liquid that has accumulated on the liquid-retaining article following a balancing of the supporting structure about the axis of rotation thereof.
