Air-cooled chiller tube end cap replacement

Air-Cooled Chiller Tube End Cap Replacement – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we provide expert tube end cap replacement services for air-cooled chillers to help resolve refrigerant leaks, restore system pressure, and prevent performance loss. Tube end caps play a crucial role in sealing off unused or damaged chiller tubes within the coil or heat exchanger. Over time, these caps may degrade, corrode, or become dislodged—leading to leaks and system inefficiencies. Our technicians ensure precise and durable replacement using industry-standard materials and techniques.

Why Replace Tube End Caps?

• Leaking or corroded caps causing refrigerant or water loss

• Damaged or deformed caps from pressure cycling or wear

• Routine plugging of failed tubes during maintenance or partial shutdown

• Upgrade to more durable or corrosion-resistant materials

• Prevent system failure or safety risks from uncovered tube ends

Our Tube End Cap Replacement Services Include

System Inspection and Leak Detection

We inspect the evaporator or condenser tube bundle to identify damaged or leaking end caps using visual inspection, pressure testing, and leak detection tools.

Old Cap Removal and Tube Cleaning

We safely remove corroded or damaged end caps and clean the tube ends to prepare for resealing or plugging.

End Cap Installation or Tube Plugging

We install OEM-compatible or custom-fitted end caps using mechanical expansion or weld sealing depending on system pressure and tube condition. For permanently blocked tubes, we offer tube plugging as an alternative.

Leak Testing and System Calibration

Once caps are replaced, we perform pressure testing and refrigerant charging to ensure the system is sealed and operating at optimal capacity.
