Commercial Eddy Current Testing for Chillers in Anaheim

When chillers work hard, tubes take the hit. Our Commercial Eddy Current Testing (ECT) program in Anaheim gives facility managers, contractors, and engineers the hard data needed to prevent leaks, unplanned downtime, and avoidable energy costs—without opening or destroying the bundle.

Why Eddy Current Testing Matters

ECT is a non‑destructive method that evaluates metallic tube integrity in condensers and evaporators. Using calibrated probes, we detect early‑stage damage and quantify severity so you can repair or plug precisely what’s needed—no guesswork.

• Find wall‑thickness loss, pitting, erosion, grooving, denting, and crack‑like indications.
• Reveal corrosion under deposits (CUD) and support‑plate wear.
• Target problematic rows for cleaning, plugging, or retubing.
• Cut kW/ton by restoring heat‑transfer performance.

What We Test

• Chiller types: centrifugal, screw, scroll, and absorption systems.
• Heat‑exchanger bundles: condensers and evaporators.
• Tube materials: copper, cupronickel, stainless steel, and related alloys.

We support commercial facilities across Anaheim and Orange County, with extended coverage in Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County.

Our Engineer‑Led Process

• Pre‑job review: equipment history, outages, water chemistry, fouling patterns, and access planning.
• Calibration: reference standards and probe selection aligned with tube alloy, diameter, and expected defect modes.
• Scanning: bobbin and specialty probes for high‑resolution data across straight runs and support plates.
• QA and analysis: experienced engineers interpret signals, validate calls, and grade severity.
• Actionable deliverables: color‑coded tube maps, defect summaries, and prioritized recommendations (cleaning, sleeving, plugging, retubing).
• Reporting: practical narratives and data tables formatted for maintenance planning and capital budgeting.

Inspections are scheduled around your operations, including nights and weekends, to keep your building online and your tenants comfortable.

AC PRO‑Compatible Support

We work seamlessly with AC PRO‑sourced supplies and parts to keep your maintenance workflow simple. From gaskets to cleaners and replacement components, our team coordinates with your preferred AC PRO parts house so repairs move quickly from report to resolution.

• Local to Anaheim and Orange County, serving Los Angeles, Ventura, and Western Riverside.

Our mission is healthier air for healthier lives. Reliable, efficient chillers are essential to clean indoor environments—and data‑driven tube integrity is where that reliability starts.

Standards and Quality

We follow industry best practices and recognized methods for eddy current examinations and documentation. Every project includes calibrated setup, traceable data, and a defensible report you can share with stakeholders and capital planning teams.

What You Receive

• Scope summary and equipment details.
• Tube inventory with maps and color‑coded indications.
• Defect categorization with severity grading.
• Maintenance recommendations (clean, sleeve, plug, retube) prioritized by risk and budget.
• Estimated impact on efficiency and reliability.

Optional follow‑up includes cleaning support, re‑testing after remediation, and scheduled monitoring to trend tube health over time.
