Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the stable, efficient, and long-term performance of air-cooled chillers. Regular inspection and cleaning help prevent failures, maintain cooling efficiency, and extend service life. Aurashu recommends a preventive maintenance schedule that includes the following key steps:
Monthly checks:
Inspect refrigerant pressure, oil level, and compressor operation.
Check for unusual noise or vibration.
Ensure fan blades and motors are operating smoothly.
Quarterly maintenance:
Clean air condenser coils to remove dust, debris, and oil stains, which can affect heat exchange efficiency.
Inspect all electrical connections and control panels for looseness or corrosion.
Check sensors and valves for calibration accuracy.
Semi-annual service:
Replace or clean air filters and strainers.
Test the safety protection devices and operating parameters.
Check refrigerant leaks using an electronic detector and refill if necessary.
Annual maintenance:
Perform a full system performance test, including cooling capacity, power consumption, and water flow balance.
Inspect insulation, piping, and vibration isolation mounts.
Record operational data to track performance trends.
Aurashu provides comprehensive maintenance services and training programs to help customers establish on-site maintenance routines. For critical applications (data centers, hospitals, factories), periodic professional inspections are strongly recommended to ensure system reliability and energy efficiency.
