Chiller Retrofit & Replacement Brisbane
When to consider a chiller replacement
Key indicators that a chiller retrofit or replacement should be assessed:
• Chiller age exceeding 15 years with declining performance
• Refrigerant type due for phase-out under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic
• Greenhouse Gas Management Act
• Frequent breakdowns or increasing maintenance costs
• NABERS or Green Star rating improvements requiring higher plant efficiency
Why QPT Services
Assessment before specification: QPT starts with a proper assessment of your existing plant and building load. Replacing a chiller without understanding the current load profile often results in wrong-sized equipment.
Chiller retrofit option: energy performance upgrade through Turbocor / Magnetic bearing compressor upgrade can achieve 40-55% increase in energy performance (COP).
Refrigerant compliance expertise: Refrigerant phase-outs under federal legislation are creating mandatory replacement timelines for many facilities. QPT understands the compliance requirements and designs specifications around them.
Minimal operational disruption: Chiller replacements in occupied facilities require detailed planning. QPT Mechanical plans outage windows, manages access, and coordinates with building management to minimise the impact on your operations.
