How to Perform Water Cooled Chiller Maintenance: A Step-by-Step Guide

Establishing Water Cooled Chiller Maintenance Records


●Creating a maintenance record helps to track the chiller's historical maintenance data and understand how well and how often the equipment has been maintained.
●The regular maintenance information allows for periodic inspections of the industrial water cooled chiller and appropriate measures to avoid equipment failure
●Maintenance records can help maintenance personnel locate the problem more quickly, and diagnose and repair based on previous maintenance records.


Regularly check the pressure of the water cooled chiller refrigeration system


●Regularly checking the pressure of the refrigeration system can timely find out whether there is any leakage problem in the refrigeration system and avoid the decline of the cooling capacity of the industrial water chiller machine due to the leakage of refrigerant.

●Regularly checking the refrigeration system pressure can timely find out whether there is any problem of excessive pressure in the refrigeration system, and avoid damage or rupture of the internal components and pipelines of the water cooled chiller due to excessive pressure in the refrigeration system. In addition, high system pressure can also cause problems such as higher energy consumption and lower refrigeration efficiency.

●Regularly checking the pressure of the refrigeration system can timely find out whether the refrigeration system pressure is too low, to avoid the refrigeration system pressure being too low resulting in poor cooling effect.


Regularly clean the water cooled chiller


●Clean dust, dirt, and other impurities from the surface of the condenser regularly to avoid them collecting on the surface of the condenser and preventing the condenser from radiating heat.

●Clean the evaporator regularly to avoid dirt or scale affecting the performance of the evaporator

●Clean the filter regularly to avoid impurities, dust, dirt, etc. blocking the filter, resulting in a decline in the cooling effect of the industrial water cooled chiller.

●Regularly dismantle and clean the metal filter in the refrigerant return filter to avoid impurities, dirt, particles, etc., blocking or entering the refrigerant system, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerant cycle
●Regularly clean the metal filter in the cooling water inlet filter to prevent the filter from being clogged, affecting the flow of cooling water, resulting in a decline in cooling efficiency, chiller failure and other problems.


Regularly check the electrical control system of the water cooled chiller


●Check the appearance of the electrical control box and control panel to ensure that there is no obvious damage, looseness, or corrosion. Make sure all switches, buttons, and indicator lights are working properly.

●Check all electrical connections, including power, ground, and control wires, to ensure that they are securely connected and free of short circuits or poor contact.

●Check probes such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, etc. to ensure that they are properly installed, reliably connected, and undamaged.

●Check the operation of the electrical system, including overload protection, overheating protection, voltage protection, etc., to ensure that the power supply can be cut off in time to prevent accidents when abnormal conditions occur.

Regularly check the water cooled chiller valves and the internal insulation function


●Check the sealing performance of all valves to ensure that the valves are flexible and free of jamming when switching, and check whether there is any leakage. Pay special attention to the valves in key locations, such as inlet and outlet water valves, pressure control valves, etc.

●Check the piping connections inside the chiller to ensure that the connections are tight, reliable, and leak-free.

●Check whether the insulation layer of the chiller is complete and free of damage to ensure good insulation performance. If the insulation layer is found to be damaged or detached, it should be repaired or replaced in time.

●For water chiller machine equipped with a heating function, check the working status of the heater and the integrity of the insulation material to ensure good insulation.


Regularly check the industrial water chiller machine cooling circulating water pressure gauge

●Regularly checking the industrial water chiller cooling circulating water pressure gauge is an important step in maintaining system safety, preventing leaks, avoiding over-pressurization, and maintaining the efficiency of the refrigeration system

Regularly clean, and replace water cooled chiller copper piping lines


●Regularly check the industrial water cooled chiller's condenser, evaporator, and other copper tubes to ensure that the piping is kept clean and intact, and can effectively transfer refrigerant. If the inner wall of the copper pipe is found to have dirt, scale, rust, and other problems that lead to clogging of the pipeline, the copper should be replaced promptly.

Regularly check the water cooled chiller refrigerant injection


●Regularly check the refrigerant charge, the refrigerant level should be located in the middle of the lens; if the refrigerant is found to be insufficient, the refrigerant should be added promptly to avoid a decline in the cooling capacity of the chiller due to insufficient refrigerant.

Regularly check the lubricating oil system of the water cooled chiller


●Regularly check the oil level of lubricating oil and make sure that its oil temperature is at 2/3 position of the lens. If the lubricating oil is found to be insufficient, the lubricating oil should be added in time to avoid wear and tear of the compressor parts and failure due to insufficient lubricating oil, which will reduce the refrigeration efficiency or shorten the service life of the compressor.
