Whatever the issue, at Summit Process Cooling, we prioritise minimising your downtime and restoring your system to full operation as promptly as possible.

Maintaining an air-cooled chiller involves regular inspection and servicing to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. Key steps include:

  • Cleaning the condenser coils to prevent debris buildup.
  • Checking refrigerant levels and ensuring there are no leaks.
  • Inspecting fans and motors for wear or damage.
  • Verifying control settings and recalibrating if necessary.
  • Testing the safety mechanisms to ensure reliable operation.
  • Performing a general system check to identify any irregularities early.

Routine maintenance helps to extend the lifespan of your equipment while keeping operational costs low.

We recommend servicing your chiller at least twice a year for standard applications. However, systems in high-demand or critical environments may require more frequent maintenance. Regular servicing ensures optimal efficiency, prevents costly breakdowns and maximises the life expectancy of the unit.

The typical lifespan of a well-maintained chiller ranges from 15 to 20 years, depending on the operating conditions and maintenance schedule. Proper care, including regular servicing and timely repairs, can significantly extend the life of the unit, ensuring reliable performance for many years.

Detecting a leak in a chiller system involves a combination of visual inspections and advanced diagnostic tools. Our engineers use methods such as:

  • Pressure Testing: Checking for pressure drops in the system.
  • Electronic Leak Detectors: Identifying refrigerant leaks precisely.

Regular chiller maintenance is crucial to ensure consistent performance, improve energy efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns. By identifying and resolving potential issues early, you can:

  • Avoid costly repairs or replacements.
  • Reduce downtime and maintain productivity.
  • Lower energy consumption and operational costs.
  • Extend the life of your chiller.
  • Protect your investment in chiller equipment.

Several factors could prevent a chiller from starting, including:

  • Low refrigerant levels or leaks.
  • Faulty electrical components, such as relays or contactors.
  • Issues with the control panel or programming errors.
  • Dirty filters or condenser coils restricting airflow.
  • Tripped safety mechanisms or alarms due to underlying issues.

Our skilled engineers are equipped to diagnose and address these problems efficiently, ensuring your chiller is back online without delay.
