Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Acidity Test | Protect Your Compressor with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is an Oil Acidity Test Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

The compressor oil in an air-cooled chiller plays a critical role in lubrication, cooling, and system protection. Over time, oil acidity levels increase due to oxidation, contamination, and refrigerant breakdown, leading to corrosion, component wear, and reduced system efficiency. Regular oil acidity testing helps detect early signs of oil degradation, ensuring optimal lubrication, preventing costly damage, and extending the lifespan of your chiller system. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides expert oil acidity testing services, helping businesses maintain peak performance and energy efficiency.

Our ISO-certified oil acidity testing services cater to:

• Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities
• Commercial Buildings (Offices, Malls, Hotels, Hospitals)
• Data Centers & IT Cooling Systems

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Needs an Acidity Test

Frequent Compressor Overheating & Shutdowns

• Excessive oil acidity causing thermal breakdown and inefficient cooling
• Compressor running at high temperatures, triggering system shutdowns

Corrosion & Component Wear

• Acidic oil leading to internal corrosion of compressor parts and seals
• Increased friction causing bearing and metal surface wear

Dark, Discolored, or Sludgy Oil

• Oxidized oil turning dark brown or black
• Thick or foamy texture indicating contamination and acid formation

Increased Energy Consumption & Inefficiency

• Poor lubrication causing the compressor to work harder, consuming more power
• Reduced refrigerant circulation due to oil degradation

Unusual Compressor Noise & Vibrations

• Grinding or knocking sounds caused by insufficient lubrication
• Vibration levels increasing due to acidic oil damaging bearings
