Air-cooled chiller compressor bearing replacement

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

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer professional compressor bearing replacement services for air-cooled chillers, helping to restore smooth operation, reduce vibration, and prevent catastrophic compressor failure. Bearings are critical components that support the compressor shaft during rotation. When they wear out due to friction, misalignment, or lack of lubrication, they can cause noise, performance issues, and internal damage if not replaced promptly.

Why Compressor Bearing Replacement Is Important

• Prevents internal damage to the compressor

• Reduces vibration, noise, and mechanical friction

• Restores cooling efficiency and energy performance

• Extends the life of the compressor and connected systems

• Avoids unplanned downtime and emergency repairs

Signs Your Compressor Bearings May Need Replacement

• Unusual grinding, humming, or whining sounds

• Elevated vibration levels detected near the compressor

• Increased energy usage and reduced cooling output

• Signs of overheating or motor strain

• Evidence of metal flakes or wear debris in oil analysis

Our Compressor Bearing Replacement Process

Initial Diagnostics
We inspect the compressor for signs of bearing wear using:

• Vibration analysis

• Thermal imaging

• Noise and operational testing

Disassembly and Bearing Removal
Once diagnosed, we carefully dismantle the compressor casing, remove the worn bearings, and inspect related components (shaft, housing, couplings) for secondary damage.

High-Quality Bearing Installation
We install OEM-approved or premium-grade bearings, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and lubrication according to manufacturer specs.

Reassembly and Alignment Check
The compressor is reassembled, and we check for:

• Shaft alignment and smooth rotation

• Coupling integrity and balance

• Proper torque and fastener tension

System Recommissioning and Testing
After replacement, we:

• Reconnect electrical systems

• Recharge refrigerant if required

• Perform vibration testing, load testing, and operational verification
