The compressor in an air-cooled chiller relies on high-quality oil for lubrication, cooling, and wear protection. Over time, oil can degrade, become contaminated, or lose its viscosity, leading to increased friction, overheating, and potential system failure. Regular oil quality testing helps detect early signs of oil degradation, contamination, or refrigerant leaks, ensuring optimal chiller performance, energy efficiency, and extended lifespan. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd provides professional oil quality testing services, helping businesses prevent costly breakdowns and maintain peak cooling efficiency.
Our ISO-certified oil quality testing 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
Dark or Contaminated Oil
Oil appears black, sludgy, or foamy, indicating oxidation or contamination. Presence of metal particles, dirt, or refrigerant leaks.
Increased Energy Consumption & Inefficiency
Higher electricity bills due to increased friction and poor lubrication. Compressor working harder to maintain desired cooling capacity.
Overheating & System Shutdowns
Poor oil quality causing thermal breakdown and excessive heat buildup. Frequent compressor shutdowns due to inadequate lubrication.
Unusual Noises & Vibrations from Compressor
Knocking or grinding sounds due to low-quality or contaminated oil. Excessive vibrations caused by insufficient lubrication and increased wear.
Oil Pressure Drop & Lubrication Issues
Inconsistent oil pressure readings, indicating restricted flow or degraded oil. Insufficient lubrication leading to premature wear on moving parts.
Oil Sample Collection & Laboratory Analysis
Extract oil samples from the compressor system. Conduct Total Acid Number (TAN), viscosity, and oxidation testing.
Contaminant Detection & Lubrication Quality Assessment
Identify moisture, dirt, metal particles, and refrigerant leaks. Check for oxidation, varnish formation, and acid buildup.
Thermal Stability & Breakdown Resistance Testing
Measure oil’s ability to withstand high operating temperatures. Detect thermal breakdown signs affecting compressor efficiency.
Wear Particle & Friction Analysis
Assess oil’s protective properties against component wear. Detect early signs of mechanical stress and internal damage.
