Many plant owners panic when their chiller leaks water and assume major repairs are needed. In most cases, extensive overhauling is unnecessary!
Nearly all water‑leak failures come down to two main causes, which are easy to inspect and fix.
❶ Loose or misaligned water‑tank float If the float
comes loose or sits too high, the water‑level control malfunctions and water overflows from the unit. Solution: Simply adjust the float height and calibrate the water level. Problem solved!
❷ High‑mounted water pipes causing backflow after shutdown
Many workshops run piping overhead. When the machine stops, residual water in the pipes flows backward and overflows, creating what looks like a unit leak.
Permanent fix✅
Install a solenoid valve at the water outlet
Fit a check valve at the return inlet
Water flow shuts off automatically on power‑off, completely eliminating backflow‑related leaks!
Low‑cost accessories save you expensive repair bills!
