Information

Chiller Leak Repair for Reverse Cycle Heat Pump

Project Overview

This project focused on diagnosing and repairing a refrigerant leak in a reverse cycle heat pump chiller that provides critical heating and cooling services to Caboolture Hospital. As a key component of the hospital’s HVAC system, the chiller ensures a stable and comfortable environment for patients, staff, and medical equipment.

Key Features of the Installation

Leak Detection and Diagnostics

Advanced detection tools were used to locate and identify the source of the refrigerant leak with precision.

Comprehensive Repairs

The damaged section of the chiller system was isolated and expertly repaired using high-quality materials to restore the system’s integrity.

System Recharging

After fixing the leak, the refrigerant levels were restored to the manufacturer’s specification, ensuring optimal performance.

Performance Testing

A full operational check was conducted post-repair to verify that the chiller was functioning efficiently and reliably.

Energy Efficiency Improvements

After the repair, the chiller was tested to ensure its energy efficiency, helping the hospital reduce its overall energy consumption and operating costs.
