Common failures & inspection points

Scale formation in evaporator and condenser tubes

Inspect tubes every 6-12 months by removing manhole covers and bottom covers of heat exchangers; check for scale deposits and coating exfoliation

Fouling or sludge accumulation in condenser cooling tubes

Remove condenser covers and inspect cooling tubes for sludge, organic fouling, or biofilm buildup; test condenser pressure regularly

Vacuum system degradation and efficiency loss

Verify vacuum gauge reading (minimum 90% vacuum required); check ejector pump operation and non-condensable gas removal performance

Demister performance and salt carryover contamination

Inspect demister element for moisture droplet separation effectiveness; test distillate conductivity for saltwater carryover (should be <4 µS/cm)

Plate material corrosion and structural integrity (titanium plates)

Visual inspection of titanium plate pack for pitting corrosion, cracks, or pinhole leaks; verify gasket seals and frame integrity
