The Reasons and Solutions for the Water Leakage of the Chiller

The premise of the normal operation of the chiller is that the water cycle, refrigerant cycle and electronic control system must be kept normal. If there is a problem on the one hand, the chiller will be abnormal and affect production. If there is water leakage in the chiller, it usually occurs at the water pipe and the connection of the water pipe. Solving the problem as soon as possible is conducive to the normal operation of the chiller. Let’s follow the LNEYA chiller manufacturer to see the causes and solutions of water leakage in the chiller.

The reasons and solutions for the water leakage of the chiller:

1. The water inlet or outlet of the chiller leaks, usually caused by loose or broken bolts at the connection, and the user only needs to repair or replace it.

2. There is water leakage at the float valve of the chiller, and the float valve controls the switch of the water inlet valve according to the buoyancy. The solution is to check and adjust the position of the ball valve. If it is damaged, it needs to be replaced and repaired in time.

3. Water leakage from the evaporator shell of the chiller. The user should check whether there is water seepage at the welding part of the evaporator shell, and if so, it should be repaired by welding as soon as possible.

4. Water leakage occurred in the perforation of the condenser inside the chiller. The solution is to find this fault point and fix it.

5. Because the water tank of the chiller is too full, the cooling water fluctuates and leaks during operation. The solution is to lower the water level in the tank.

6. The water tank of the chiller is leaking, and there may be leakage at the welding position of the water tank. The solution is to re-weld the leaking position for the chiller manufacturer.

7. The water pump of the chiller is leaking. The cause may be that the shaft seal at the pump is not well connected or the shaft seal has been damaged. The solution is to replace the pump directly without replacing the shaft seal.

8. If the chiller is tilted for a long time, the valves and pipes of the chiller will be unevenly stressed, damaged, and cause water leakage. The chiller should be placed horizontally according to the specifications.

Summarize:

If the chiller is slightly leaking, you should find the leaking point of the equipment along the water trace. If the water leakage of the chiller occurs on the water cooling system, it will cause failures such as insufficient water flow and high pressure alarm of the compressor. If it is not handled in time, it will cause water accumulation at the bottom of the chiller, corrode the equipment shell, and cause potential safety hazards to the electrical components of the equipment. Therefore, once the water leakage of the chiller is found, it should be paid attention to and repaired in time. If you can’t find the reason, you should turn to the chiller manufacturer, find professional after-sales personnel for consultation, and operate under the guidance of professional after-sales personnel, and must not be blindly repaired.
