Commercial Eddy Current Testing (Chillers) in Downey, CA

When chillers work harder than they should, energy bills climb, approach temperatures drift, and the risk of leaks increases. Eddy Current Testing (ECT) sees what visual inspections cannot, providing high‑resolution insights into tube condition across your condenser and evaporator bundles. For Downey facilities and regional campuses across Los Angeles County, #1 AC Guys delivers a rigorous ECT program designed for large commercial systems, heavy load profiles, and tight maintenance windows.

Our engineered ECT workflow

• Scope and planning: define objectives (baseline, seasonal, pre‑retrofit, post‑event), identify tube materials and diameters, and prepare access logistics.
• Cleaning and prep: ensure tubes are clean enough for accurate signal interpretation without unnecessary downtime.
• Probe selection and calibration: choose bobbin/absolute/differential probes and calibrate against appropriate standards to match your tube alloy and expected defects.
• Acquisition and mapping: perform systematic scans with precise tube maps, logging depth, location, and signal characteristics for repeatable comparisons.
• Analysis and grading: quantify wall loss, detect pits and cracks, and prioritize tubes for plugging, sleeving, or enhanced monitoring.
• Actionable reporting: deliver a clear report with severity rankings, graphics, and a remediation plan aligned to budget and risk tolerance.
• Follow‑through: coordinate repairs, retest critical areas, and establish an interval program for continuous reliability.

When to schedule Eddy Current Testing

• Rising approach temperatures or unstable head pressure.
• Evidence of fouling, tube leaks, or frequent plugging.
• Pre‑season commissioning and post‑repair validation.
• Before retrofit or capacity changes to document baseline condition.
• After water chemistry excursions or suspected corrosion events.

What you gain

• Reduced kW/ton through better heat transfer and targeted repairs.
• Fewer emergency outages with early detection of critical defects.
• Longer asset life by addressing root causes, not symptoms.
• Data you can act on—tube maps, trend lines, and prioritized plans.

We service AC PRO–supplied and AC PRO–branded chillers and heat exchangers throughout Downey and neighboring markets, following OEM specifications for safe, reliable outcomes. Our engineers have factory training from Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), and we apply that discipline to every inspection and analysis we perform. While brands differ, physics does not—our approach is built on measurement, calibration, and repeatability.

Industries we support

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Data centers and technology campuses
• Universities, schools, and municipal buildings
• Hotels, entertainment venues, and arenas
• Manufacturing and food processing
• Commercial office and mixed‑use properties
