Air-Cooled Chiller Fouled Tube Removal and Replacement – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer professional fouled tube removal and replacement services for air-cooled chillers, helping restore optimal heat exchange, system efficiency, and overall cooling performance. Over time, chiller tubes can become fouled with scale, debris, corrosion, or biological buildup, which restricts refrigerant flow and impairs heat transfer. Our team ensures effective cleaning, precise tube replacement, and reliable recommissioning for peak system performance.

Signs of Fouled Tubes in Air-Cooled Chillers

• Increased energy consumption and poor cooling efficiency

• Higher compressor discharge pressure and temperature

• Uneven airflow or coil temperature

• Reduced system capacity or inconsistent performance

• Visible scaling, rust, or residue during inspection

Our Fouled Tube Removal and Replacement Process

System Assessment and Diagnostics

We perform a detailed inspection using thermal imaging, pressure checks, and visual examination to locate fouled or clogged tubes within the evaporator or condenser coils.

Fouled Tube Removal

Using specialized tools, we remove the fouled tubes from the coil assembly with precision, taking care to protect surrounding tubes and components.

Coil Cleaning and Preparation

The coil bundle is cleaned thoroughly to remove scale, sludge, and corrosion particles, ensuring a clean environment for the replacement tubes.

Replacement Tube Fabrication and Installation

We supply and install custom-fabricated copper or aluminum tubes, matched to your unit’s specifications. Tubes are cut, bent, and aligned for a secure and proper fit.

Brazing and Sealing

Each tube is sealed with high-temperature brazing or welding, ensuring a leak-proof connection that withstands refrigerant pressure and operational loads.

System Testing and Recommissioning

After tube replacement, we perform leak testing, refrigerant charging, and full system calibration to restore reliable cooling performance.
