Air-Cooled Chiller Low Refrigerant Troubleshooting | Expert Diagnosis & Repair by EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Troubleshooting Low Refrigerant Levels Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

Low refrigerant levels in air-cooled chillers can cause insufficient cooling, increased energy consumption, and severe compressor damage. If not addressed promptly, a refrigerant shortage can lead to system inefficiency, overheating, and potential equipment failure. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd specializes in comprehensive low refrigerant troubleshooting, ensuring optimal cooling performance, leak prevention, and long-term system reliability.

Our ISO-certified troubleshooting services cater to:

• Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities
• Commercial Buildings (Offices, Malls, Hotels, Hospitals)
• Data Centers & IT Cooling Systems
• Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Cooling
• Food Processing & Cold Storage Units

Signs of Low Refrigerant Levels in an Air-Cooled Chiller

• Reduced Cooling Efficiency – Inability to maintain the required temperature
• Higher Energy Bills – Compressor working harder due to low refrigerant levels
• Ice Formation on Evaporator Coils – Caused by refrigerant charge imbalance
• Frequent System Shutdowns – Chiller turning on and off more frequently
• Hissing or Bubbling Sounds – Possible refrigerant leaks in the system
• Overheating & High-Pressure Alerts – Compressor running at excessive temperatures

Comprehensive Low Refrigerant Troubleshooting for Air-Cooled Chillers

System Diagnostics & Refrigerant Level Inspection

• Perform pressure testing and temperature analysis to detect low refrigerant levels
• Conduct visual inspection for leaks in refrigerant lines, coils, and expansion valves
• Use ultrasonic and electronic leak detectors to pinpoint refrigerant leaks

Refrigerant Leak Detection & Repair

• Identify micro-leaks using fluorescent dye and gas analyzers
• Seal leaks in refrigerant pipes, condenser coils, and expansion valves
• Replace faulty gaskets, valves, and corroded fittings

Refrigerant Recharging & System Optimization

• Refill refrigerant with the correct gas type (R-32, R-410A, R-134a, R-513A, R-407C, R-22, R-1234ze)
• Ensure precise refrigerant charge levels for maximum cooling efficiency
• Adjust superheat and subcooling levels to prevent overcharging or undercharging

Compressor & Expansion Valve Calibration

• Optimize compressor cycling to prevent overloading
• Adjust expansion valve settings for proper refrigerant flow and heat exchange
• Monitor suction and discharge pressure to ensure refrigerant stability

Performance Testing & Final Validation

• Conduct load testing to confirm system recovery after troubleshooting
• Monitor compressor efficiency, refrigerant flow, and temperature control
• Provide detailed maintenance reports and recommendations
