Air-Cooled Chiller Oil Analysis & Inspection | Optimize Performance with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Oil Analysis & Inspection Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

Oil plays a crucial role in lubricating, cooling, and protecting the moving parts of an air-cooled chiller’s compressor. Over time, contamination, degradation, and improper oil levels can lead to increased friction, overheating, refrigerant leaks, and potential compressor failure. Regular oil analysis and inspection help detect early signs of wear, moisture buildup, acidity formation, and metal particle contamination, ensuring optimal chiller performance and extended equipment lifespan. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive oil analysis and inspection services, ensuring maximum reliability, efficiency, and cost savings.

Our ISO-certified oil analysis services cater to:

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

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Needs Oil Analysis & Inspection

Increased Energy Consumption

• Compressor running hotter and longer than usual
• Higher electricity bills due to increased mechanical friction

Frequent Compressor Overheating & Shutdowns

• Sudden compressor failures or frequent thermal overload trips
• Poor oil quality reducing lubrication efficiency

Presence of Moisture or Acidity in the Oil

• Refrigerant contamination causing oil breakdown
• Acidic oil leading to corrosion of compressor components

Metal Particle Contamination

• Indication of internal wear on bearings, pistons, or rotors
• Potential early failure of compressor moving parts

Unusual Noises or Reduced Cooling Performance

• Compressor emitting grinding or knocking sounds
• Insufficient lubrication causing increased wear on internal parts
