In Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) projects, "installing" a pump is only half the job. Without professional Commissioning and Balancing, a new pump may operate at the wrong point on its curve, leading to excessive energy waste, noisy pipes, and premature mechanical failure. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive testing and balancing (TAB) services to ensure your pumping system meets its exact design specifications from day one.
Before power is applied, we verify the "physical health" of the installation:
Coupling Alignment: Using laser tools to ensure the motor and pump shafts are perfectly synchronized.
Pipe Strain Check: Ensuring the weight of the heavy industrial piping is supported by hangers, not by the pump casing.
Rotation Verification: A quick "bump-test" to ensure the motor is turning in the correct direction.
We test the "brain" of the pump system:
Insulation Resistance: Performing a "Mega-test" on motor windings to prevent short circuits.
VFD Programming: Setting the minimum and maximum frequencies and ensuring "soft-start" parameters are active.
Safety Interlocks: Confirming that the pump shuts down if a flow switch or high-pressure sensor is triggered.
This is where we ensure the pump is actually doing its job. We measure the Differential Pressure (Delta-P) across the pump and compare it to the manufacturer’s pump curve.
Setting the Duty Point: We adjust valves or VFD speeds to reach the "Design Flow Rate" (Gallons Per Minute or Liters Per Second).
Dead-Head Test: Briefly running the pump against a closed valve to verify the maximum pressure capability.
Elimination of "Hot/Cold Zones": Proper balancing ensures that the AHU on the top floor gets the same chilled water flow as the one in the basement.
Energy Savings: An unbalanced pump often runs at a higher speed than necessary. We trim the performance to use the least amount of electricity possible.
Noise Reduction: Excessive flow creates "rushing" sounds and pipe "whistling." Balancing stabilizes the velocity to keep the building quiet.
Prevention of Cavitation: We verify the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) to ensure the pump isn't "starving" for water, which causes internal erosion.
Turnkey MEP Expertise: We understand how the plumbing, electrical controls, and mechanical pump must work as a single unit.
ISO-Certified Quality: Our technicians follow strict international standards (such as NEBB or ASHRAE guidelines) for testing and balancing.
Detailed Documentation: You receive a full Commissioning Report including final flow rates, pressure readings, and motor amp draws for your building records.
Rapid Response in Selangor: We support new construction and retrofits across the Klang Valley with technical precision.
Don't risk your MEP investment on a "guesswork" installation. Trust EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to provide the technical commissioning and hydronic balancing needed for a silent, efficient, and long-lasting system.
