Chiller Compressor Replacement
Cormek Solutions was contracted to replace the compressors in a commercial chiller system at a facility in Oxford.
The existing compressors had exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended operational hours, leading to reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and a higher risk of system failure. To prevent unexpected breakdowns and performance issues, the client opted for a complete compressor replacement to restore system reliability.
Our team carried out a full decommissioning of the old compressors, ensuring the safe disconnection and removal of outdated components. The installation phase included:
- Supply and installation of two service exchange compressors, seamlessly integrated with the existing chiller system.
- Craneage operation to lift and position the new compressors safely.
- System testing and commissioning, verifying performance improvements and ensuring optimal efficiency.
By carefully managing the logistics and installation process, we ensured minimal disruption to the building’s operations while delivering an energy-efficient, high-performance cooling solution.
The Outcome.
The new compressors have restored full cooling capacity, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. The modern units offer:
- Lower energy consumption, helping to reduce the facility’s carbon footprint.
- Increased system reliability, minimising the risk of unplanned downtime.
- Extended chiller lifespan, ensuring long-term performance with fewer maintenance needs.
The upgrade has provided a future-proof cooling solution, keeping the facility’s HVAC system operating at peak efficiency while ensuring compliance with energy efficiency standards.
More about Commercial Chillers.
Chillers play a critical role in temperature control for commercial, industrial, and data centre environments. A failing compressor can lead to rising energy costs, cooling inefficiencies, and potential system failures, impacting business operations and productivity. Timely compressor replacements are essential for maintaining system efficiency and avoiding costly downtime.
