Lithium Bromide is highly corrosive in the presence of air. A prolonged small leak in the absorption chiller caused internal corrosion, blocking the heat exchangers and stopping the chiller from functioning. An LiBr analysis found the copper content to be over 5000 ppm.
The customer faced a dilemma between repair and replacement. Our systematic diagnostic approach convinced the customer to opt for repair. Internal cleaning of the absorption chiller with lithium-based chemicals removed all debris, restoring the chiller to full operation. VAMTEC assures customers that with good maintenance practices, trouble-free operation of the chiller is guaranteed.
