Air-cooled chiller acoustic vibration inspection

Air-Cooled Chiller Acoustic Vibration Inspection – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we provide advanced acoustic vibration inspection services for air-cooled chillers, using sound-based diagnostics to detect hidden faults, imbalances, and early-stage mechanical wear. Acoustic vibration analysis helps uncover subtle anomalies that may not be visible during routine maintenance but can escalate into serious performance and safety issues if left unchecked.

Why Acoustic Vibration Inspection Matters

• Detects early-stage mechanical defects without dismantling equipment

• Identifies issues related to bearing wear, misalignment, and component looseness

• Helps prevent unplanned failures and energy losses

• Provides non-invasive monitoring with minimal disruption

• Supports predictive maintenance strategies for long-term reliability

What We Inspect During Acoustic Analysis

• Compressors (scroll, screw, reciprocating): Internal friction, imbalance, or worn bearings

• Condenser fans and motors: Blade imbalance, motor misalignment, loose fittings

• Tube bundles and frames: Resonance vibration or structural fatigue

• Mounting points and supports: Loose bolts or frame instability

• Refrigerant flow anomalies causing harmonic noise

Our Acoustic Vibration Inspection Process

Sound Pattern Mapping

Using high-sensitivity acoustic sensors and ultrasonic listening devices, we capture vibration signatures across all major chiller components.

Data Recording and Analysis

We analyze the collected data to identify abnormal frequency spikes, decibel variations, and resonance patterns that may indicate early mechanical degradation.

Fault Source Localization

We pinpoint the origin of irregular vibrations or sounds and determine whether they stem from:

• Fan blade imbalance

• Compressor motor misalignment

• Loose structural components

• Friction inside bearings or tube supports

Detailed Reporting and Recommendations

We provide a comprehensive report highlighting:

• Identified issues and their severity

• Recommended corrective actions (e.g., realignment, rebalancing, tightening, part replacement)

• Suggested timelines for maintenance or repair

Benefits of Acoustic Vibration Inspection

• Early detection of potential mechanical failures

• Non-intrusive and performed without system shutdown

• Improves chiller reliability, efficiency, and uptime

• Reduces repair costs by addressing issues early

• Enhances occupant comfort by eliminating unwanted noise
