What Is Compressor Reconditioning?

‍

Compressor reconditioning restores worn or damaged compressors to like-new operating condition. Rather than replacing an entire compressor—which can be costly and time-consuming—reconditioning provides a reliable, cost-effective alternative that extends your equipment’s life and enhances overall system performance.

ChillCo specializes in reconditioning centrifugal chiller compressors and other large-scale cooling system components. Our facility and field teams are trained to work on equipment from major OEMs, including Daikin, Mycom, Carrier, YORK, Trane, Vilter, and Dunham-Bush.

The Benefits of Reconditioned Compressors

‍

Reconditioning offers multiple advantages, including:

• Minimized downtime – Reconditioned compressors can often be installed and brought online faster than sourcing new units.
• Improved performance – Reconditioning restores mechanical and thermal efficiency, reducing strain on the overall system.
• Sustainability – Reconditioning reduces waste by extending the usable life of existing components, supporting your facility’s environmental goals.

Our Compressor Reconditioning Process

‍

We follow a strict process to ensure every reconditioned compressor meets or exceeds industry standards. Our process includes:

• Inspection and disassembly – Every compressor is carefully disassembled and evaluated for wear, damage, and material fatigue. Key components like impellers, bearings, seals, and rotors are inspected for precision.
• Cleaning and diagnostics – All internal parts are thoroughly cleaned and examined for operational integrity. We use specialized tools and analysis to detect issues such as oil contamination, vibration wear, and thermal expansion damage.
• Replacement and rebuild – Damaged or degraded components are replaced with OEM parts or high-quality alternatives. All components are then reassembled to strict specifications.
• Testing and quality control – Once reassembled, the reconditioned compressor undergoes rigorous testing to verify proper functionality, pressure integrity, and operational efficiency.

FAQs About Compressor Reconditioning

‍

How is chiller reconditioning different from routine maintenance?

Chiller reconditioning goes beyond standard maintenance by fully restoring internal components such as compressors, heat exchangers, and controls.

‍

When should centrifugal chiller compressor reconditioning be considered?

Facilities often choose centrifugal chiller compressor reconditioning when they experience declining performance, rising energy use, or component wear that can’t be resolved with basic repairs. It’s also a smart option during planned shutdowns or system upgrades.

‍

How often should compressors be reconditioned?
The timing depends on factors like operating hours, environmental conditions, and maintenance history. Many facilities schedule reconditioning as part of their long-term equipment lifecycle plan, often after several years of continuous service.

‍

How long does the reconditioning process take?

The timeframe varies based on the type and condition of the compressor. However, reconditioning is typically faster than waiting for new equipment to arrive and be installed.
