Mandatory Engineer Checkpoints

  • Visual check of compressor vibration damping springs and mounting integrity
  • Inspection of condenser coil fins for airborne debris or corrosion
  • Refrigerant sight glass moisture indicator verification (F-Gas compliance)
  • Chilled water flow/return temperature differential (Delta-T verification)

Common Defects Found on Site

  • Micro-fractures in flexible braided pipe connections causing minor weeping
  • Corrosion on condenser coil casing leading to reduced thermodynamic heat transfer
  • Excessive compressor harmonic vibration indicating early bearing fatigue
