Analysis
Gas & Oil Analysis A build-up of contaminants within a refrigeration system can reduce the thermodynamic efficiency of a refrigeration plant and increase your business costs in terms of reduced output or additional energy. More seriously, contamination build-up can eventually cause a major plant breakdown that is costly in terms of damage repair and lost production. BOC offers full analytical screening of both the refrigerant and oils to evaluate the refrigeration system’s performance against its optimum levels.
In refrigeration systems, contractors often order an oil analysis to assess the condition of a compressor, but oil analysis on its own is not enough and symptoms not identified and treated in a refrigeration unit can lead to system inefficiencies and further damage. When the refrigerant is analysed in conjunction with oil, you get a more accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of a system. Refrigerant analysis is a simple and accurate way to assess the condition of a system.
50% of analyses show excess contamination levels The typical range of problems we identify includes burn-out contamination, excess oil, excess non-condensables, excess moisture, rust and chemical contamination. A build up of any of these will reduce the thermodynamic efficiency of the plant and increase costs through reduced output or additional energy consumption. Contaminant build up can also lead to major plant breakdown that is costly in both damage repair/ replacement and lost production.
