Industrial Chiller Maintenance Checklist

Inspection of all water inlets and outlets for leaks should be done routinely.

All components of the compressor unit should be inspected including checks for oil levels, leaks, vibrations, operating temperatures variations.

Electrical contacts should be inspected and cleaned.

Filter dryers should be checked, and dirty, old or faulty filters replaced entirely.

Air-cooled Water Chillers Only

Cooling coils must be inspected for distortion in fins, and signs of corrosion.

Condenser fan inspections should be carried out with emphasis on bearings check for signs of wear, poor lubrication. Belts and couplings should also be checked and adjusted when necessary.

Condenser coils should be inspected for leaks, corrosion, and areas of kinking or blockage.

For air-cooled chillers, return air dampers should be inspected for optimal operation, calibration coupled with checks for bearings alignment and lubrication.

Fresh air dampers for an air-cooled chiller system should be inspected in the same way as return air dampers.
