Rhoss aluminium condenser coil o-ring leaks.
2 R134a Turbocor chillers on the same site, circa 6 years old:
Where the discharge and liquid pipe headers connect onto the aluminium heat exchangers, each fitting/union comprises of 2 x o-rings to effect the gas tight seal. A total of 36 joints (72 o-rings) per chiller - almost every one of them is leaking (badly).
I'm thinking poor pipework alignment at the factory, poor aluminium H/E tolerances or perhaps lack of care during transportation and/or lifting/installation.
Any my experience or insight to this issue hugely appreciated.
As always, thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this plea!
