Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Viscosity Check | Ensure Optimal Lubrication with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Oil Viscosity Check Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

The compressor in an air-cooled chiller relies on proper oil viscosity to provide adequate lubrication, reduce friction, and improve heat dissipation. Over time, oil viscosity can degrade due to oxidation, contamination, moisture, and refrigerant leaks, leading to poor lubrication, increased energy consumption, overheating, and premature compressor wear. Regular oil viscosity checks help detect early signs of oil breakdown, ensuring efficient chiller performance, reduced maintenance costs, and extended equipment lifespan. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive oil viscosity testing services, ensuring your chiller operates at peak efficiency and reliability.

Our ISO-certified oil viscosity testing services cater to:

• Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Needs an Oil Viscosity Check

Inconsistent Cooling Performance

• Reduced cooling efficiency due to poor oil flow and lubrication
• Compressor struggling to maintain stable temperature control

Increased Energy Consumption

• Compressor working harder due to thickened or degraded oil
• Higher electricity bills due to inefficient operation

Overheating & System Shutdowns

• Poor oil viscosity causing increased friction and excessive heat buildup
• Frequent compressor shutdowns due to lubrication failure

Oil Contamination & Discoloration

• Oil appearing dark, sludgy, or foamy, indicating oxidation or moisture absorption
• Presence of metal particles, dirt, or refrigerant leaks affecting oil properties

Unusual Compressor Noises & Vibrations

• Grinding or knocking sounds due to thick or degraded oil preventing smooth operation
• Excessive vibrations caused by insufficient lubrication and internal component wear
