Turbocor compressors and chillers

[chillerman2006]

Today we see a few cavity sensors and position sensors failing, but these a very few these days. if the position sensor fails, a replacement compressor is required.

Wow !

Thats one expensive positioning sensor

Jackson-
Glad to have you aboard! I work for a company that does start up/warranty work for MultiStack and McQuay, and have had a chance to work on some of the Turbcors.The first time I walked into the mechanical room of one of our accounts where we were to replace one of the compressors, all I could hear was the pumps-with over 500 tons of active cooling operating! MagLev technology is amazing. One question- are there any accepted leak detection agents that we can use to find hard to find leaks?

i have been working on the turbocor chillers for a few years now and the best two ways iv found is the standard leak spray or i an ultrasound leak detector. i know there expensive but there arwe some cheaper versions around. and yes in noisey environments it is hard to listen for the leaks but when you get use to using the kit iv found it very handy.
