Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • R32 refrigerant leak at brazed joints or Schrader valves
  • Seawater condenser fouling reducing heat rejection and triggering high-pressure trips
  • Variable-speed compressor/inverter faults from marine electrical supply quality issues
  • Seawater pump impeller or seal wear reducing condenser flow
  • Condensate management issues - drain blockage or pan overflow
  • Master/slave control communication faults on combined multi-unit systems

Inspection checklist

  • Refrigerant circuit leak check, particularly at brazed joints
  • Seawater flow rate and condenser cleanliness check
  • High/low pressure safety cutout function test
  • Seawater pump and strainer inspection
  • Compressor current draw and inverter fault log check
  • Condensate drain clearance and drip pan level check
  • Electrical connection corrosion check

Service intervals

Seawater strainer cleaningweekly to monthly
Refrigerant leak checkannually, more frequently where local R32 (A2L, mildly flammable) charge/ventilation regulation requires
Condenser cleaningannually or as fouling indicates
Seawater pump serviceannually per manufacturer's manual

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Refrigerant charge deviationany deviation from the manufacturer's nameplate charge should prompt leak investigation rather than a simple top-up

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Seawater pump
  • Filter drier
  • High/low pressure safety switches
  • Compressor (inverter-matched, long lead time)

Safety

  • R32 is classified A2L (mildly flammable, lower toxicity) - ventilation and ignition-source control matter more than with A1 refrigerants; follow the manufacturer's installation ventilation requirements
  • Refrigerant pressure hazard during service
  • Electrical hazard at inverter/compressor terminals

Class survey

Not normally a classed item on its own. Where R32 charge quantity and machinery space ventilation intersect with flag/class environmental or refrigerant-handling requirements, confirm compliance with the applicable F-Gas or equivalent regulation and technician certification records.

Estimated lifetime: Variable-speed marine chillers of this class are generally expected to give roughly 8-15 years service under normal yacht/vessel duty with proper maintenance - confirm against manufacturer's documentation; the manufacturer does not typically quote a running-hour figure.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
