Air-Cooled Chiller Low-Pressure Compressor Service – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd
At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer expert low-pressure compressor services for air-cooled chillers, addressing performance issues that can lead to insufficient cooling, increased energy consumption, and potential compressor damage. Low suction pressure in a chiller’s compressor is often a sign of underlying system imbalances, leaks, or mechanical faults—and requires prompt, accurate intervention.
