How do you detect leaks in chiller systems?

We use advanced thermal imaging cameras, acoustic leak detection equipment, and pressure testing to identify leaks in chiller systems, including refrigerant lines, water circuits, and heat exchangers.

What are common signs of cooling tower leaks?

Common signs include water pooling around the tower base, unusual water consumption, decreased cooling efficiency, corrosion on metal components, and visible water stains or mineral deposits.

Can you detect refrigerant leaks in chillers?

Yes, we use specialized refrigerant leak detection equipment including electronic leak detectors, ultrasonic devices, and thermal imaging to locate refrigerant leaks in chiller systems.

How often should chiller and cooling tower systems be inspected?

We recommend quarterly inspections for critical systems, with comprehensive annual assessments. High-usage systems may require monthly monitoring to prevent costly failures.

The Cost of Chiller System Leaks

Undetected leaks in chiller and cooling tower systems can result in significant operational costs, equipment damage, and environmental compliance issues.

Increased Energy Costs: Leaks reduce system efficiency, leading to higher electricity bills.
Equipment Damage: Water leaks can cause corrosion and premature equipment failure.
Environmental Fines: Refrigerant leaks can result in significant environmental penalties.
System Downtime: Emergency repairs can shut down critical cooling systems.
