Commercial Eddy Current Testing (Chillers) in Glendale

#1 AC Guys delivers professional, non‑destructive Eddy Current Testing (ECT) for commercial chillers in Glendale. As a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years of engineering experience, we approach every chiller as a mission‑critical asset. Our goal is simple: protect uptime, reduce energy use, and support healthier indoor air by restoring heat‑exchange efficiency.

What is Eddy Current Testing for Chiller Tubes?

ECT uses electromagnetic probes to scan condenser and evaporator tubes for wall thinning, pitting, cracking, baffle fretting, and other defects. The test is fast, clean, and does not damage the tubes. Results are mapped to each tube, so you can trend degradation over time and act before leaks, cross‑contamination, or capacity loss impacts your facility.

• Detects corrosion, MIC, erosion, cracking, and tube sheet wear
• Supports predictive maintenance and capital planning
• Improves heat‑transfer, stabilizing capacity and kW/ton
• Reduces risk of unplanned downtime and water events

Our Engineering‑Led Process

Every Glendale project is led by seasoned engineers and executed to stringent procedures for repeatable, defensible results.

• Pre‑job planning: scope, safety, access, LOTO, and schedule alignment
• Tube mapping: unique ID creation, tube sheets, and pass counts
• Calibration: reference standards and instrument verification
• Scanning: systematic passes with controlled feed rates
• Defect classification: wall loss estimates and severity tiers
• Reporting: color tube maps, raw data, and prioritized actions
• Action plan: cleaning, plugging, retubing, or monitoring strategy

When corrective work is required, we coordinate seamlessly with your maintenance team to minimize outage windows and protect critical operations.

Brands, Training, and Supply

Our technicians are factory‑trained by: Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). While ECT applies across a wide range of chiller makes, this manufacturer training strengthens our systems thinking and quality discipline. For parts, materials, and rapid turnarounds, we leverage trusted local supply through AC PRO to support cleaning, plugging, gaskets, and related accessories as needed—keeping your project on schedule.

FAQs

• How long does ECT take?
  Duration depends on tube count and access. Many commercial systems complete in a day or two.
• Will ECT damage tubes?
  No. It’s a non‑destructive method performed with calibrated probes.
• Do I need cleaning before testing?
  Light fouling is acceptable, but heavy scale can obscure readings. We’ll advise during planning.
• Can you help with repairs?
  Yes. We provide action plans and coordinate plugging, retubing, and parts procurement through trusted supply channels like AC PRO.
