Air-Cooled Chiller Compressor Diagnosis | Expert HVAC Services by EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why Compressor Diagnosis is Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

The compressor is the most critical component of an air-cooled chiller, responsible for circulating refrigerant, regulating cooling capacity, and maintaining system efficiency. Over time, mechanical wear, refrigerant imbalances, or electrical faults can lead to reduced cooling performance, excessive energy consumption, and costly system failures. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd specializes in comprehensive air-cooled chiller compressor diagnosis, ensuring early detection of issues, optimized performance, and long-term system reliability.

Our ISO-certified chiller diagnostic services cater to:

• Industrial & Manufacturing Cooling Systems
• Commercial Buildings (Offices, Hotels, Malls, Hospitals)
• Data Centers & IT Cooling Facilities
• Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Cooling
• Food Processing & Cold Storage Units

Common Compressor Issues Requiring Diagnosis

• Reduced Cooling Efficiency – Struggles to maintain optimal temperature
• High Energy Consumption – Increased electricity usage due to inefficient operation
• Frequent Short Cycling – Repeated compressor start-stop cycles reducing lifespan
• Excessive Noise & Vibrations – Indicates internal wear, misalignment, or loose components
• Overheating & High Discharge Temperatures – Caused by low refrigerant levels or airflow restrictions
• Electrical & Control Faults – Voltage fluctuations, unbalanced load, or faulty motor connections
• Refrigerant Leaks & Imbalances – Leads to loss of cooling capacity and increased system strain
