A chiller compressor that fails to start or experiences delayed startup issues can cause operational disruptions, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to system components. Startup failures are often caused by electrical faults, refrigerant imbalances, mechanical wear, or control system malfunctions. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd specializes in diagnosing and resolving air-cooled chiller compressor startup issues, ensuring smooth operation, energy efficiency, and system reliability.
