Commercial Eddy Current Testing for Chillers in Fullerton

When chiller uptime matters, precise data matters more. Our Commercial Eddy Current Testing (ECT) service in Fullerton gives facility teams a tube‑by‑tube condition assessment across condensers and evaporators, helping you prevent unplanned shutdowns, optimize energy performance, and extend asset life. As a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years of engineering experience, #1 AC Guys is built for complex projects where accuracy and accountability are non‑negotiable.

What eddy current testing reveals

ECT is a non‑destructive method ideal for non‑ferromagnetic tubes (e.g., copper, cupronickel, stainless alloys) found in most water‑cooled chillers. By inducing and measuring electromagnetic responses, we detect:

• Wall loss from erosion, corrosion, and wear
• Pitting and localized thinning
• Axial and circumferential cracking
• Fouling or deposits that restrict heat transfer
• Mechanical damage, dents, and deformities
• Tube‑to‑sheet issues that may precede leaks

Results are quantified and mapped so you can prioritize maintenance by risk and impact, not just by age or runtime.

Our Fullerton commercial ECT process

• Scope and planning: Review make/model, tube materials, service history, and outage windows.
• Pre‑clean coordination: If needed, we arrange mechanical or chemical cleaning to improve signal clarity.
• Tube mapping: Create or verify tube sheet maps for accurate identification and trending.
• Probe selection and calibration: Select multi‑frequency probes and calibrate against reference standards.
• Scanning and analysis: Perform high‑resolution scans; interpret impedance signals for flaws and wall loss.
• Reporting and recommendations: Deliver a clear report with tube‑by‑tube grading, visuals, and actions (clean, plug, sleeve, or retube).

Where ferromagnetic tubes are present, we can deploy complementary techniques appropriate to the material so you still get a reliable condition picture.

Scheduling and service area

We perform eddy current testing across Fullerton and Orange County with rapid scheduling around planned outages or seasonal turnarounds. Our broader service area includes Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County—ideal for organizations with multiple sites.

Plan ahead for peak seasons

The best time to test is before peak load: spring for cooling‑dominant sites, and during planned maintenance windows. ECT is also recommended after water‑side upsets, corrosion events, or abnormal efficiency trends.
