Air-Cooled Chiller Troubleshooting & Diagnostics | Expert Fault Detection by EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

Air-cooled chillers are essential for efficient cooling in industrial, commercial, and data center applications. However, system faults such as temperature fluctuations, refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, and electrical issues can lead to reduced performance, high energy costs, and unplanned downtime. Troubleshooting and diagnostics help detect underlying problems early, preventing expensive repairs and ensuring continuous system operation. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive air-cooled chiller troubleshooting and diagnostics, ensuring peak efficiency, reliability, and cost savings.

Our ISO-certified troubleshooting 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

Common Air-Cooled Chiller Problems We Diagnose & Fix

Insufficient Cooling or Fluctuating Temperatures

• Chiller fails to reach or maintain set temperature
• Uneven cooling due to airflow restrictions, clogged coils, or refrigerant issues

High Energy Consumption & Overworked Compressor

• Increased power bills due to inefficient chiller operation
• Compressor running continuously or cycling excessively

Refrigerant Leaks & Pressure Imbalances

• Low refrigerant charge causing inefficient heat absorption
• High or low suction/discharge pressures leading to compressor strain

Electrical & Sensor Malfunctions

• Frequent tripping, wiring faults, or control system failures
• Inaccurate sensor readings affecting temperature and pressure regulation

Unusual Noises & Vibrations

• Rattling, grinding, or knocking sounds from motors, fans, or compressors
• Excessive vibration due to misalignment or worn-out bearings

Frozen Evaporator Coils or Excessive Condensation

• Ice buildup due to low refrigerant, restricted airflow, or improper expansion valve function
• Condensate drain blockages causing water pooling and system inefficiencies
