Commercial Eddy Current Testing (Chillers) in Burbank – Bosch

What our Eddy Current Testing includes

ECT is a non-destructive method that uses electromagnetic signals to detect defects inside chiller tubes. For Bosch commercial chillers, we test condenser and evaporator bundles to locate thinning, pitting, MIC, support wear, baffle cuts, denting, cracking, and manufacturing anomalies—without removing tubes.

• Tube-by-tube scanning and unique ID mapping
• Detection of wall loss, localized pits, circumferential/longitudinal flaws
• Identification of support wear, erosion, fretting, and deposits
• Color-coded indication maps and severity summaries
• Recommendations for tube cleaning, plugging, or retubing
• Clear, facility-ready reports (PDF) with data exports upon request

Why Burbank facilities choose #1 AC Guys

We are a 4th-generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering—built for complex commercial HVACR challenges. Our mission is healthy air and dependable cooling across your campus, delivered with precision diagnostics and practical guidance. While we are experienced servicing Bosch chillers, our factory training comes from Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). That cross-platform expertise helps us solve problems under real-world timelines and constraints.

• Specialists in large, multi-system, and high-stakes projects
• Predictive maintenance planning that reduces emergency shutdowns
• Scheduling built around your production or tenant needs
• Straightforward reporting your team can act on immediately

Bosch chiller focus: what we look for

On Bosch condenser and evaporator bundles, we pay special attention to corrosion at tube sheets, support plates, and U-bends; flow-induced erosion; MIC in water systems; and deposit-related under-deposit corrosion. Findings are matched with water treatment history and operating conditions to isolate root causes and recommend corrective actions.

• Early warning of wall thinning before leaks occur
• Pinpointing localized pitting and crevice corrosion
• Support wear at baffles and tube supports
• Mapping of denting and tube deformation
• Verification of cleaning effectiveness over time

Our process

We align with your team to minimize downtime and maximize insight.

• Pre-job review: bundle drawings, tube specs, past service records
• Site prep: LOTO coordination, access planning, safety briefing
• ECT scanning: rapid, repeatable passes with calibrated probes
• QA: indication review and verification
• Deliverables: clear report with prioritized actions

Typical turnaround is fast, with expedited options available. We can coordinate tube cleaning and re-testing as needed so you verify improvements in real time.

Healthier air, lower risk, better efficiency

Clean, intact heat exchanger tubes keep your chiller efficient and your indoor environments stable. By preventing leaks and reducing fouling, ECT supports better humidity control and healthier air—core to our company mission. Data-driven maintenance also means fewer surprises, safer operations, and smarter capital planning.
