    Chiller Failure Symptoms

    The document discusses chiller failure symptoms and solutions. It describes that a low refrigerant charge or debris in expansion valves can cause issues on medium temperature systems, identified by frost on valves or hissing noises. For low temperature systems, moisture in the refrigerant can freeze and restrict flow, which warming the valve can solve. Checking filter-driers, refrigerant levels, and for debris can help diagnose and address chiller failures.

    CHILLER FAILURE SYMPTOMS

    Chiller failure symptoms: Expansion valves on medium temp: 1. Low Refrigerant Charge: A system that is low on refrigerant will have ice or frost on the TX valve.( Check the any leak of refrigerant ) Listen for a hissing noise coming from the valve body.

    2. Debris: After determining that the system is not low on refrigerant, I look for debris in the valve.( check for any unwanted material restrict the flow in expansion value). Check the filter-drier & if it is not ok filter-drier must be replaced.

    Expansion valves on low temp systems:


    1.

    Moisture in refrigerant: At low temperature the moisture is converted as a ice & this ice will restrict or eventually stop the refrigerant flow.

    SOLUTIONS: Simply warm up the valve, the refrigerant flow then returns to normal.
