Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Degradation Analysis | Ensure Peak Performance with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Oil Degradation Analysis Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

The compressor in an air-cooled chiller relies on high-quality oil for lubrication, cooling, and protection against wear. Over time, oil degrades due to oxidation, contamination, high temperatures, and refrigerant exposure, leading to reduced lubrication efficiency, increased friction, overheating, and potential system failure. Oil degradation analysis helps detect early signs of breakdown, ensuring optimal compressor performance, energy efficiency, and extended equipment lifespan. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive oil degradation analysis services, helping businesses prevent costly breakdowns and maintain peak cooling efficiency.

Our ISO-certified oil degradation analysis services cater to:

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Oil is Degrading

Increased Compressor Overheating & Shutdowns

• Oil losing its ability to dissipate heat, causing thermal stress
• Frequent compressor shutdowns due to overheating and poor lubrication

Dark, Thick, or Foamy Oil

• Oil turning dark brown or black, indicating oxidation
• Thickened or foamy oil affecting proper circulation and lubrication

High Energy Consumption & Reduced Efficiency

• Compressor working harder due to reduced lubrication
• Increased electricity bills from higher system load and inefficiency

Oil Contamination & Acid Formation

• Presence of moisture, refrigerant leaks, or metal particles in the oil
• Acidic oil causing corrosion of compressor components

Excessive Wear & Internal Damage

• Bearings, seals, and moving parts experiencing premature wear
• Loss of lubrication leading to metal-to-metal contact and potential failure
