An overheating compressor in an air-cooled chiller can lead to reduced cooling efficiency, increased energy consumption, system failure, and costly downtime. Excessive heat buildup affects lubrication, refrigerant flow, and overall compressor lifespan. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd specializes in diagnosing and resolving air-cooled chiller compressor heat issues, ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability.
