Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Quality Testing | Ensure Peak Performance with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Oil Quality Testing Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

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 M&E 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

• Food Processing & Cold Storage Units

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Needs Oil Quality Testing

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
