Commercial Eddy Current Testing for Chillers in Oxnard

Comprehensive Eddy Current Testing for Chillers and Heat Exchangers

#1 AC Guys delivers end‑to‑end eddy current testing for commercial chillers in Oxnard and across Ventura County. We inspect condenser and evaporator tubes in centrifugal, screw, and absorption systems, including units sourced via AC PRO. Our multi‑frequency analysis identifies early‑stage degradation—pitting, wall thinning, ID/OD cracking, erosion‑corrosion, baffle wear, and tube‑sheet issues—so you can correct problems before they escalate.

Our mission is healthy air for healthy lives. By restoring thermal performance and preventing contamination pathways, we help protect indoor air quality while lowering energy intensity and extending equipment life.

What We Test

• Chiller condenser and evaporator tube bundles (copper, cupronickel, stainless, titanium)
• Plate-and-frame and shell-and-tube heat exchangers
• Tube sheets, support plates, and baffle contact points
• AC PRO–compatible systems and mixed-manufacturer plants

Whether your facility is a hospital, high‑rise, hospitality venue, university, food and beverage plant, or data center, our NDT program scales to your footprint, outage windows, and compliance needs.

Our Process

• Pre‑job review: system history, water treatment logs, fouling patterns, materials, and critical loads
• Method setup: probe selection, calibration standards, pull speed, and sensitivity tuning for your alloys
• Testing: tube-by-tube scanning with real‑time signal interpretation and on‑site QA
• Rapid insights: priority flags for tubes needing plugging, sleeving, or mechanical cleaning
• Action plan: repair recommendations and retest intervals tied to risk and budget

We coordinate with facility managers to stage work during low‑load hours or scheduled shutdowns, minimizing disruption for occupants and production.

For coastal Oxnard sites, we adjust parameters for salt‑laden environments and galvanic concerns to ensure accurate detection and fewer false positives.

Reporting, Compliance, and Capital Planning

You receive a clear, decision‑ready report aligned with industry expectations (AHRI/ASME perspectives), including:

• Tube-by-tube maps with defect type, depth, and location
• Severity ranking and immediate safety recommendations
• Thermal performance impact and energy ROI estimates
• Repair options: cleaning, plugging, sleeving, or tube replacement
• Maintenance schedule and next inspection window

This documentation supports audits, budgets, and ESG/energy initiatives by tying NDT findings to measurable outcomes.
