Chiller Oil Analysis

Analyzing compressor lubricant is essential for maintaining and  restoring a Refrigeration / Air conditioning system's health. Chiller oil's test parameters may signal potential  problems when they deviate from their normal state. This oil circulates throughout a refrigeration/ AC System and tend to pick up indicators of a machine's internal conditions.

The presence of harmful, acids, corrosion causing water and abnormal metal wear particles  can all be detected by chemical analysis.

Chiller Oil analysis helps you to identify potential problems impacting operations. Regularly scheduled analysis of the chiller oil is a valuable aid in evaluating  its internal mechanical condition.

A properly performed oil analysis can reveal developing problems within a chiller or refrigeration/AC system.
