Preliminary Information |
|
Is the boiler steam plant pressure steady and not fluctuating for the supplied steam to this evaporator? |
|
Is your air ejector condenser vent line steadily venting steam to the atmosphere? A slight "puffing" of steam is normal. |
|
Are any the evaporator systems high or flooded, such as Flash Chambers, Distillate Sight Glasses, or Feed Water Heater Sight Glasses? |
|
Are any of the pump mechanical seals leaking fluid or pulling a suction from the atmosphere, such as Distillate Pump, Condensate Pump, or/and Brine Pump? |
Pumps that have packing glands and packing strands, in lieu of mechanical seals, are designed for a slight leak off rate of 20 to 40 drops per minute. |
|
Is pump leak off rate 20 to 40 drops per minute? |
|
Is the packing gland dead ended to the pump casing body? |
|
Is the packing gland allowing air to be sucked back into the pump body cavity? |
|
When was the last time the Feed Water Heater Tubes were cleaned? |
