Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Sampling and Analysis | Precision Testing by EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Oil Sampling and Analysis Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

The compressor oil in an air-cooled chiller serves as a critical lubricant, reducing friction, heat buildup, and component wear. Over time, oil can degrade, become contaminated, or lose its lubrication properties, leading to higher energy consumption, increased wear, and potential system failures. Regular oil sampling and analysis help detect early warning signs of oil degradation, contamination, and refrigerant leaks, ensuring optimal chiller performance, efficiency, and longevity. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive oil sampling and analysis services, helping businesses maintain peak chiller operation and prevent costly breakdowns.

Our ISO-certified oil sampling and analysis services cater to:

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

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Needs Oil Sampling & Analysis

Frequent Overheating & System Shutdowns

• Compressor experiencing high operating temperatures due to poor oil quality
• Chiller shutting down unexpectedly due to inadequate lubrication

Dark, Sludgy, or Foamy Oil

• Oil appearing discolored or thickened, indicating oxidation or contamination
• Presence of foam or refrigerant leaks, reducing lubrication efficiency

Increased Energy Consumption & Reduced Cooling Efficiency

• Compressor working harder due to poor lubrication, leading to higher power bills
• Chiller failing to maintain stable cooling output

Metal Particles & Contaminants in Oil

• Wear particles from bearings, seals, and internal components causing damage
• Dirt, debris, and refrigerant contamination affecting oil integrity

Unusual Compressor Noises & Vibrations

• Grinding or knocking sounds due to poor lubrication and internal friction
• Excessive vibration indicating improper oil circulation
