Air-Cooled Chiller Refrigerant Leak Pressure Testing – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer professional refrigerant leak pressure testing for air-cooled chillers to detect hidden leaks, verify system integrity, and ensure your chiller operates at peak cooling efficiency and safety standards. Pressure testing is a highly accurate method used to identify refrigerant leaks that cannot be seen or heard, especially in hard-to-access areas or systems with slow gas loss over time.

Why Pressure Testing is Important

• Accurately Detects Hidden Leaks – Ideal for early-stage or slow refrigerant leaks that traditional inspections may miss.

• Prevents System Inefficiency – Ensures refrigerant is maintained at the correct pressure, optimizing cooling output and reducing power consumption.

• Protects Critical Components – Prevents compressor strain, coil icing, and system imbalance caused by low refrigerant levels.

• Supports Preventive Maintenance – Identifies weaknesses or potential failure points before they become major issues.

• Ensures Safety & Compliance – Pressure testing helps comply with HVAC safety regulations and refrigerant handling standards.

Our Pressure Testing Process

• System Shut-Down & Preparation
  We isolate and prepare the chiller system for safe pressure testing, recovering refrigerant if needed.

• Nitrogen Pressure Charging
  The system is filled with dry nitrogen to a specific pressure rating suitable for the unit, simulating operating conditions without using actual refrigerant.

• Pressure Monitoring & Leak Detection
  The system is monitored for pressure drops over time, indicating the presence of a leak. We also use soap bubble solution and electronic sensors at suspect points for confirmation.

• Component Inspection
  If a leak is detected, we inspect valves, joints, coils, fittings, and welds to pinpoint the exact source of the problem.

• Leak Repair & Retesting
  After repair, the system is retested under pressure to confirm that it is leak-free and ready for refrigerant recharge.

• System Recharging & Final Testing
  We recharge the system with the correct refrigerant and perform final cooling and efficiency tests.
