Professional Marine Refrigerant Gas Leak Detection & Compressor Overhaul in Mombasa
Environmental compliance and mechanical integrity are two pillars of efficient marine refrigeration and air conditioning management. When refrigerant gas levels drop due to hidden pipeline leaks, or when heavy-duty compressors experience internal mechanical failure at the Port of Mombasa, specialized technical intervention is required. Since 2011, Mombasa Ship Services has coordinated expert marine refrigerant gas leak detection and compressor overhaul solutions for international commercial fleets.
We link shipowners and chief engineers with certified marine refrigeration engineers in Kenya equipped to execute strict environmental gas recovery, electronic leak tracing, pressure testing, and complete compressor rebuilding in compliance with international MARPOL regulations and F-gas standards.
Comprehensive Leak Detection & Compressor Restoration Scope
Handling fluorinated refrigerants and high-pressure compressors demands specialized technical execution. Our specialized service scope covers:
Electronic & UV Dye Leak Detection: Tracing micro-leaks across vibration-stressed copper pipe joints, flare fittings, valve packings, and coil headers using advanced electronic sniffers.
Environmentally Safe Gas Recovery & Recycling: Recovering exhausted or contaminated refrigerant gases into certified recovery cylinders, preventing illegal venting into the atmosphere.
System Pressure Testing & Vacuum Dehydration: Pressurizing circuits with dry nitrogen to verify structural integrity, followed by deep vacuum evacuation to eliminate moisture contamination.
Semi-Hermetic & Screw Compressor Overhauls: Dismantling failed compressors, replacing worn valve plates, piston assemblies, shaft seals, bearings, and motor winding protections.
Refrigerant Charging & System Balancing: Recharging exact weight quantities of approved marine refrigerants (R404A, R134a, R407C, R507) and balancing superheat/subcooling parameters.
