Maintenance Considerations
notes
Regularly logging oil and refrigerant charges, and examining the trends of this
data, can help identify potential problems before they occur.
An oil analysis is a key preventive maintenance measure and should be
conducted at least annually. It will help the compressor last longer while
maintaining chiller efficiency and reducing refrigerant emissions.
A certified chemical laboratory can be contracted to perform the analysis for all
types of compressors. Often the chiller manufacturer can provide this service.
