Air-Cooled Chiller Compressor Leak Troubleshooting – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer specialized compressor leak troubleshooting services for air-cooled chillers, ensuring efficient operation, reduced downtime, and extended equipment life. A compressor leak can significantly affect your chiller’s performance, causing refrigerant loss, pressure imbalances, and increased energy consumption. Our expert technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and proven repair techniques to accurately locate and fix compressor leaks, restoring your system to peak operational condition.

Common Signs of a Compressor Leak

  • Loss of Refrigerant Pressure – A leak in the compressor may cause noticeable drops in refrigerant pressure, affecting cooling efficiency.

  • Hissing or Bubbling Noises – These sounds may indicate gas escaping from a compromised seal or fitting.

  • Oil Stains Around the CompressorVisible oil leakage near joints or valves is a strong indicator of a refrigerant leak.

  • Increased Energy Bills – A leaking compressor can reduce system efficiency, leading to higher power consumption.

  • Inconsistent Cooling or Overheating – Leaks may cause the compressor to run excessively, leading to overheating and inconsistent performance.

Our Air-Cooled Chiller Compressor Leak Troubleshooting Process

  • Visual Inspection – We inspect the compressor housing, fittings, valves, and pipe connections for visible signs of leakage.

  • Electronic Leak Detection – Using sensitive leak detectors, we identify even the smallest refrigerant leaks in hard-to-reach compressor areas.

  • Ultrasonic Testing – We apply ultrasonic diagnostic tools to detect gas leaks through sound frequency, especially in noisy environments.

  • Pressure Testing – We perform high- and low-pressure testing to locate hidden leaks and evaluate system performance under load.

  • Dye Injection (if necessary) – For hard-to-trace leaks, we use UV dye tracing to pinpoint exact leak locations.

  • Seal & Component Repair or Replacement – Depending on the issue, we repair faulty seals, gaskets, or fittings, or replace damaged compressor components.

  • System Recharge & Calibration – After sealing leaks, we recharge the refrigerant and recalibrate the system for balanced and efficient operation.

  • Final System Testing – We verify cooling performance, pressure stability, and compressor efficiency after the repair.
