Commercial Eddy Current Testing (Chillers) in Anaheim

What is Eddy Current Testing for Chillers?

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is a non‑destructive examination of chiller tubing that uses electromagnetic probes to detect defects before they become failures. In condenser and evaporator bundles—commonly copper or cupronickel—ECT identifies pitting, wall thinning, cracking, denting, baffle/support wear, and corrosion patterns without opening or damaging tubes. The result is a data‑driven maintenance plan that safeguards uptime, efficiency, and water-side health.

Our engineers deploy multi‑frequency techniques to separate signals, reduce noise, and classify indications with high confidence. We document each tube, map locations, and provide plain‑English recommendations so you can act quickly and plan capital wisely.

When to Schedule ECT

• After tube cleaning to establish a clear baseline.
• Annually or biannually for critical facilities and high load profiles.
• When approach temperatures or energy KPIs drift from targets.
• After leaks, tube plugging, physical impacts, or chemistry excursions.
• Before seasonal start‑up or after major retrofit/overhaul.

Proactive inspections help you catch issues early, preventing cascading damage, unplanned downtime, and costly emergency work.

Our Step‑by‑Step Process

We follow industry‑recommended practices for heat‑exchanger tubing with an engineer‑led, safety‑first approach:

• Pre‑job planning, safety coordination, and system isolation/lockout as required.
• Tube sheet identification and numbering for traceability.
• Reference standard calibration and probe selection for material and diameter.
• Multi‑frequency scanning of condenser and/or evaporator tubes.
• Real‑time indication calls, with onsite discussion of any urgent findings.
• Data review, trending vs. prior baselines if available, and root‑cause context.
• Final deliverables: maps, severity coding, and prioritized corrective actions.

Where ferromagnetic tubing is present or access is limited, we coordinate compatible methods and staging so you still get a complete and practical decision package.

What You Receive

• Color‑coded tube maps and a clear inventory of indications by location and depth.
• Action thresholds that align with OEM guidance and your risk tolerance.
• Recommended tube plugging, replacement, cleaning, water treatment, or retest intervals.
• Trend analysis to forecast remaining life and budget impacts.
• Executive summary for stakeholders and a technical appendix for maintenance teams.

Every report is built for fast decisions—what to do now, what to plan next, and how to minimize downtime while protecting efficiency and indoor comfort.
