Air-cooled chiller tube scaling removal and replacement

Air-Cooled Chiller Tube Scaling Removal and Replacement – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer specialized tube scaling removal and replacement services for air-cooled chillers, restoring efficient heat transfer, reducing energy costs, and preventing long-term system damage. Scaling — caused by mineral deposits, hard water, or chemical imbalance — can severely obstruct refrigerant flow, leading to cooling inefficiencies, system strain, and component failure if left untreated. Our team combines effective cleaning with precision replacement to bring your chiller back to peak condition.

Why Scaling Removal and Tube Replacement Is Crucial

• Improves thermal efficiency and shortens cooling cycles

• Reduces compressor load and power consumption

• Prevents overheating, leaks, and tube failures

• Protects against long-term corrosion and erosion

• Extends the lifespan of coils, condensers, and evaporators

Our Tube Scaling Removal and Replacement Process

Assessment and Diagnosis

• Visual inspection and thermal imaging to locate scale-affected areas

• Pressure drop analysis and temperature differential testing

• Identification of tubes that require cleaning vs. full replacement

Scaling Removal (Mechanical and Chemical)

• Mechanical brushing for light to moderate deposits

• Chemical descaling using safe, non-corrosive agents to dissolve hard scale and buildup

• Neutralizing and flushing procedures to ensure residue-free operation

Tube Replacement (If Required)

• Removal of severely scaled, cracked, or corroded tubes

• Installation of new copper, aluminum, or stainless steel tubes

• Precision alignment, expansion, and brazing/welding for leak-proof sealing

• Pressure testing to ensure structural integrity and performance

System Testing and Recommissioning

• Refrigerant charging, pressure balancing, and performance calibration

• Final testing under full load to confirm cooling efficiency and system stability

Benefits of Scaling Removal and Tube Replacement

• Restores heat exchange capacity and improves cooling performance

• Reduces energy bills by improving system efficiency

• Eliminates risk of unplanned shutdowns due to blocked or burst tubes

• Protects other components like compressors and fans from stress

• Enhances compliance with energy-saving and maintenance standards
