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

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer reliable and cost-effective compressor retrofitting services for air-cooled chillers, helping you upgrade outdated or inefficient compressors with modern, energy-efficient alternatives. Whether your existing compressor is obsolete, no longer supported, or consuming excessive power, retrofitting provides a smart solution that enhances system performance without requiring a full chiller replacement.

What Is Compressor Retrofitting?

Compressor retrofitting involves removing an old or incompatible compressor and replacing it with a new, high-efficiency unit that meets or exceeds current performance standards. It includes necessary modifications to ensure compatibility with your chiller’s mechanical, electrical, and refrigerant systems.

When to Consider Retrofitting

• Compressor model is obsolete or no longer available

• Frequent failures or costly repairs

• Rising energy consumption and reduced cooling efficiency

• Need to switch to a modern refrigerant (e.g. R410A, R134a)

• System upgrade without full chiller replacement

Our Compressor Retrofitting Process

System Assessment
We assess your existing compressor, chiller configuration, electrical load, and refrigerant type to determine the best retrofit solution.

Compressor Selection
We source high-efficiency, compatible compressors from trusted brands such as:

• Copeland

• Bitzer

• Danfoss

• Trane

• Carrier

• York
  …and others based on load capacity, refrigerant type, and footprint.

Installation and Modification
We install the new compressor and make any necessary mechanical and electrical modifications, such as:

• Pipe re-routing or resizing

• Bracket or mounting adjustments

• Electrical panel updates

• Control system integration

Refrigerant System Upgrades (if applicable)
We may flush the system and convert it to a new refrigerant, including:

• R22 to R410A or R407C

• R134a upgrades

• Oil change and system recharging

Testing and Commissioning
We verify proper installation through:

• Refrigerant pressure and flow testing

• Electrical and control checks

• Full system start-up under load

• Performance monitoring and adjustments
