Common failures & inspection points
Check refrigerant pressure (high and low pressure side) and compare with manufacturer specifications (R-410A); scan for leaks.
Inspect condenser and evaporator (Titanium or Cupronickel) for fouling, biofouling and corrosion; cleaning with approved acids or mechanically per manufacturer specification.
Seawater circuit (seawater side): check sea valve, strainer/mud basket, impeller piston pump and all hose connections for leaks and flow.
Fresh water circuit (chilled water loop): monitor pressure, flow (m³/h), anti-corrosion agent concentration and pH value.
Electrical components: verify condition of protective switch, contactors, cable connections and grounding and tightening torques; measure insulation resistance.
DDC/control board and sensors (high pressure, low pressure, aquastat, flow switch) test for function and error codes.
Check refrigerant charge and superheat/subcooling; record compressor operating hours and compare against service interval.
Vibration dampers, fasteners, flex hoses and pipe insulation monitor for mechanical wear and integrity.
