Air-cooled chiller abnormal vibration detection

Air-Cooled Chiller Abnormal Vibration Detection – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we provide professional abnormal vibration detection services for air-cooled chillers, helping facility managers identify hidden mechanical issues before they lead to serious system failures. Abnormal vibrations are often early warning signs of misalignment, bearing wear, loose components, or internal imbalances that can compromise cooling performance, reduce equipment life, and increase energy consumption.

Why Detecting Vibration Early Is Critical

• Prevents mechanical damage to compressors, fans, and tubing

• Helps avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs

• Protects system integrity and prolongs equipment lifespan

• Improves cooling performance and energy efficiency

• Supports predictive maintenance and reliability-centered operations

Our Vibration Detection Process

Visual and Operational Inspection

We begin with a thorough visual and functional check of the fan assemblies, compressors, support structures, and mounting points.

Vibration Monitoring and Analysis

Using advanced tools such as vibration sensors, accelerometers, and data loggers, we:

• Record real-time vibration signals from key components

• Analyze frequency, amplitude, and vibration patterns

• Compare against manufacturer thresholds and industry benchmarks

Root Cause Identification

We isolate the source of the vibration, which may be due to:

• Compressor imbalance or misalignment

• Loose bolts, cracked brackets, or worn mounts

• Fan blade damage or unbalanced rotation

• Tube bundle or structural resonance issues

Corrective Action Recommendations

Based on findings, we provide a detailed report with actionable recommendations, which may include:

• Tightening, rebalancing, or realigning components

• Replacing worn bearings, fan motors, or mounts

• Reinforcing support frames or adjusting isolation pads

Post-Repair Vibration Recheck (Optional)

After corrective work is done, we can conduct a follow-up vibration analysis to ensure proper stabilization and operational safety.
