At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we provide specialized structural vibration testing services for air-cooled chillers, ensuring the mechanical integrity and stability of your chiller's support system. Structural vibration—often caused by resonance, mounting issues, or external influences—can compromise system performance, cause premature component failure, and even damage building infrastructure if left unchecked.
Detects resonance frequencies that amplify vibration
Prevents frame fatigue, cracking, or structural damage
Identifies loose, misaligned, or unstable mounts
Enhances chiller safety, performance, and reliability
Supports compliance with industry vibration standards
Chiller frame and base for rigidity and resonance
Mounting supports, bolts, and isolation pads
Surrounding structures (e.g., platforms or rooftops)
Interaction between rotating components and frame vibration
Response to load changes or start/stop cycles
Visual and Mechanical Inspection
We examine the entire chiller structure for signs of looseness, fatigue, or improper mounting.
Sensor-Based Monitoring
We install triaxial vibration sensors and accelerometers on the frame, supports, and key structural contact points.
Frequency and Mode Analysis
Using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and modal analysis, we identify:
Dominant vibration frequencies
Harmonic resonance
Vibration transmission paths from rotating equipment to the frame
Root Cause Identification
We correlate structural vibrations with mechanical sources such as fans, motors, or compressors, and determine whether the issue stems from the chiller itself or the mounting structure.
Reporting and Recommendations
We provide a comprehensive report that includes:
Vibration frequency spectrum and severity levels
Structural weak points or unstable mounts
Corrective recommendations (e.g., damping, reinforcement, isolation pad upgrade)
Protects chiller integrity and prevents long-term damage
Reduces vibration-related noise and occupant complaints
Ensures safe and compliant operation
Improves system reliability and component life
Enables data-driven upgrades to mounting or support systems
Experts in mechanical and structural diagnostics for chillers
Use of advanced structural vibration analysis tools
Experience with all major chiller makes and installation types
Actionable reports with practical correction solutions
Full service including monitoring, repair, and follow-up testing
Don’t overlook the foundation—your chiller’s structure plays a vital role in performance and longevity. With EKG M&E Sdn Bhd’s air-cooled chiller structural vibration testing, you can ensure long-term system stability and safety.
