Chillers are vital to a commercial building’s comfort and energy efficiency. Chillers use refrigerant to produce cold air for both heating and cooling systems. They require regular maintenance and repair to ensure continued operation – namely water leak detection and repair, circuit board cleaning, air filter replacement, system lubrication, coil corrosion protection for the condenser coil or evaporator coil of the chiller unit.
The first thing to do when you have a problem with your chiller is to turn it off and unplug it. If the problem is an electrical issue, this may be the only step necessary. However, if there are leaks or other malfunctions that need to be addressed in order for your system to operate properly again then you will need to further diagnose the cause of the malfunction. You should also make sure that none of the freon leaked and escaped before plugging or reconnecting anything back up because this will cause a fire hazard.
The best way to diagnose a chiller is with a thermography inspection. This inspection measures the surface temperatures of the machine and compares it to normal operating temperature. Generally, you will find an imbalance in the flow or temperature of the refrigerant that needs adjustment.
