Kuala Lumpur | February 13, 2026 — EKG M&E Sdn Bhd recently executed a specialized technical service at the iconic Lot 10 shopping center in Bukit Bintang. In high-traffic retail environments, maintaining the hygiene and thermal efficiency of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is a top priority.
Our "Chemical" service at Lot 10 focuses on the deep restoration of cooling components to ensure a premium shopping experience for visitors and optimal operating conditions for tenants.
Scope of Work: Chemical Coil Descaling, Condensate Tray Sanitization, and System Performance Recovery
Retail hubs like Lot 10 face unique HVAC pressures:
High Particulate Loading: Constant foot traffic introduces high levels of dust and lint into the air, which quickly "mats" on cooling coils.
Biological Growth: Moisture in the condensate trays can lead to algae and mold buildup, causing unpleasant odors and potential health risks.
Reduced Heat Transfer: When coils are fouled with grime, the system must work significantly harder to maintain the desired indoor temperature, leading to spiked energy costs.
To restore the units to their peak engineering specifications, EKG implemented a professional-grade chemical treatment:
Industrial-Grade Coil Descaling: We applied specialized, pH-neutral foaming agents to the Evaporator Coils and AHU units. This chemical reaction penetrates deep into the fin structure, loosening compacted debris and oxidation that standard vacuuming cannot reach.
Condensate Tray Sanitization: All drainage trays were chemically treated to eliminate biological growth and cleared of any blockages. This prevents the "Dirty Sock Syndrome" (odors) and avoids damaging water leaks into retail spaces.
System Flushing: Following the chemical application, the units are thoroughly flushed with high-pressure water to remove all neutralized debris, leaving the aluminum fins in a "like-new" metallic state for maximum heat exchange.
Improved Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): The removal of mold and dust ensures a fresh, hygienic environment for Lot 10 shoppers.
Immediate Energy Savings: Clean coils allow for faster heat rejection, estimated to reduce the specific unit's power consumption by 10–15%.
Odor Elimination: Specialized chemical biocides ensure that the air being circulated remains neutral and free from biological contaminants.
Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, EKG M&E Sdn Bhd is a premier MEP specialist serving Malaysia's most prestigious retail and commercial developments. We believe that technical precision and specialized chemical care are the keys to "Engineering Comfort" in high-demand environments like Lot 10.
