Air-cooled chiller compressor efficiency testing

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

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we provide professional compressor efficiency testing for air-cooled chillers to ensure your system operates at peak performance with minimal energy waste. Over time, compressor efficiency can decline due to wear, refrigerant issues, improper loading, or internal mechanical faults. Our testing service helps you evaluate real-world compressor performance, identify inefficiencies, and take corrective actions to lower operating costs and extend equipment life.

Why Compressor Efficiency Testing Is Important

• Identifies performance drops due to wear, leaks, or mechanical issues

• Helps reduce energy consumption and cooling costs

• Detects early signs of compressor fatigue or failure

• Ensures optimal operation under various load conditions

• Supports preventive maintenance and system upgrades

What We Assess During Testing

• Compressor power consumption vs. cooling output (kW/ton)

• Discharge and suction pressure

• Temperature differential across compressor

• Refrigerant charge and flow rate

• Compressor cycling and run time behavior

• Motor current draw and power factor

Our Compressor Efficiency Testing Process

System Inspection & Setup
We begin with a full operational check of the chiller, compressor, refrigerant levels, and controls to ensure safe testing conditions.

Real-Time Performance Monitoring
Using advanced tools such as digital gauges, data loggers, and power analyzers, we monitor:

• Cooling capacity delivered

• Electrical input (volts, amps, kW)

• Pressure-temperature performance across the system

Data Analysis and Benchmarking
We compare the measured efficiency values against:

• OEM specifications

• Historical data (if available)

• Industry standards for air-cooled chillers

Diagnostic Evaluation
If efficiency loss is detected, we help determine the root cause:

• Refrigerant undercharge or overcharge

• Valve leakage or restriction

• Mechanical wear or motor issues

• Dirty coils or blocked airflow

Detailed Reporting
We provide a comprehensive report that includes:

• Efficiency ratio (e.g., kW/ton)

• Detected performance deviations

• Actionable recommendations for repair, optimization, or upgrades

Benefits of Compressor Efficiency Testing

• Lowers energy bills by improving compressor performance

• Helps avoid overloading and premature failure

• Ensures consistent and reliable cooling

• Supports compliance with energy-saving initiatives

• Maximizes return on investment for your HVAC system
