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.

Why Low-Pressure Compressor Service Is Important

  • Restores optimal cooling performance

  • Prevents compressor overload and long-term damage

  • Improves energy efficiency and system responsiveness

  • Supports proper refrigerant flow and oil return

  • Reduces downtime and emergency repair costs

Common Causes of Low Compressor Pressure

  • Refrigerant undercharge or leakage

  • Restricted refrigerant flow (clogged filters or valves)

  • Evaporator coil freeze-up or low air flow

  • Expansion valve malfunction (TXV/EXV stuck or failing)

  • Suction line blockage or oil logging

  • Faulty pressure sensors or control settings

Symptoms of Low-Pressure Issues

  • Compressor runs continuously or short cycles

  • Ineffective cooling output at air handler or space

  • Frost or ice buildup on suction lines or evaporator

  • Low suction pressure on gauges during operation

  • Increased power consumption and motor strain

Our Low-Pressure Compressor Service Includes

System Diagnosis
We begin with a complete pressure, temperature, and flow analysis using:

  • Digital gauges and refrigerant analyzers

  • Superheat and subcooling measurements

  • Airflow and coil temperature checks

Refrigerant Leak Testing & Recharge
If a refrigerant shortage is identified, we perform:

  • Leak detection using electronic or UV dye methods

  • Refrigerant top-up or full recharge using the correct type and charge level

Component Inspection & Repair
We inspect and service:

  • Expansion valves and capillaries

  • Suction filters and driers

  • Evaporator coils and airflow systems

  • Pressure switches, transducers, and control logic

Post-Service Testing
We confirm:

  • Stable suction pressure within design range

  • Correct refrigerant flow and oil return

  • Balanced load and efficient compressor operation

  • No further signs of leakage or restriction
