Episode: How to Perform a Leak Detection on a Low Pressure Chiller w/ Jeff Neiman
Description: Jeff Neiman returns to the HVAC School podcast to explain how we can perform leak detection on a low-pressure chiller. Jeff works on systems with glycol loops or other forms of secondary fluids, which may have leaks from time to time. When the chilled water pump on the suction side runs into a vacuum, air can get into the system via the shaft seal. Then, more leaks can occur in the glycol loop as more air goes into the system. High-pressure chiller leak detection is pretty much the same as on a package unit. However, your typical...
