Chiller Variable Frequency Drive Retrofit Success Stories
by EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we have successfully transformed numerous chiller systems with our state-of-the-art Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) retrofit solutions. Our proven success stories demonstrate how VFD retrofits can dramatically improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enhance overall system reliability across a wide range of facilities—including industrial plants, commercial buildings, and data centers.

Success Story Highlights

Manufacturing Facility Upgrade
A large manufacturing plant partnered with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd to retrofit its aging air-cooled chiller system with VFD technology. After a comprehensive energy audit and system assessment, we implemented a customized VFD retrofit that allowed the chiller’s compressor and fans to operate at variable speeds based on the cooling load.

• Results:

  • Reduced energy consumption by approximately 40%.

  • Lowered peak demand charges significantly.

  • Enhanced system reliability, resulting in fewer operational disruptions and extended equipment life.

Data Center Efficiency Enhancement
A major data center sought to optimize its cooling efficiency and reduce operating expenses while ensuring 24/7 uptime. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd retrofitted the air-cooled chillers with VFDs, integrating smart controls with the facility’s Building Management System (BMS).

• Results:

  • Achieved improved cooling performance with real-time load adjustments.

  • Reduced overall energy costs by over 35%, contributing to a fast payback period.

  • Provided enhanced monitoring and diagnostics that allowed proactive maintenance, minimizing downtime.

Commercial Building Optimization
A multi-story commercial complex underwent a VFD retrofit on its air-cooled chiller units to address rising energy costs and to meet new energy efficiency standards. Our team tailored the retrofit solution to the building's specific load profiles and integrated automated controls for optimal performance.

• Results:

  • Delivered a measurable reduction in electricity consumption.

  • Improved temperature consistency across the facility, enhancing occupant comfort.

  • Supported the building’s green certification initiatives by significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

What Sets Our Success Stories Apart

• Customized Approach:
  We tailor every retrofit project to the specific needs of the facility, ensuring the optimal match between technology and system requirements.

• Data-Driven Results:
  Our comprehensive energy audits and system performance analyses provide the foundation for measurable improvements, with ROI typically achieved within 1 to 3 years.

• Expert Implementation:
  With decades of experience in HVAC and chiller optimization, our certified technicians ensure a seamless retrofit installation that minimizes disruption and maximizes performance.

• Ongoing Support:
