Oil plays a crucial role in lubricating, cooling, and protecting the moving parts of an air-cooled chiller’s compressor. Over time, contamination, degradation, and improper oil levels can lead to increased friction, overheating, refrigerant leaks, and potential compressor failure. Regular oil analysis and inspection help detect early signs of wear, moisture buildup, acidity formation, and metal particle contamination, ensuring optimal chiller performance and extended equipment lifespan. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive oil analysis and inspection services, ensuring maximum reliability, efficiency, and cost savings.
