Common failures & inspection points

Vacuum insufficient (<90% shell vacuum)

Check vacuum gauge - must display >90%; pressure value >0.9 bar (negative); perform leak test if below setpoint

Scale formation and pipe fouling in evaporator and condenser

Half-yearly remove covers and inspect tube bundle for scale; check neoprene coating for flaking; inspect condenser tube side for sludging/sludge

Salinometer malfunction or sensor fouling

Clean sensor electrode; calibrate salinometer against reference solution; perform regular function test; check sensor electrodes for wear

Demister fouling or leakage with seawater contamination

Check demister for fouling, corrosion and leakage; if leak suspected: inspect entire freshwater tank; chemically clean or replace demister if required

Ejector pressure and seawater throughflow insufficient

Check ejector inlet pressure ≥3 bar; check seawater inlet temperature to condenser (optimal 15-30°C); check ejector pump for wear; check filter for fouling
