Is a drop in condenser vacuum caused by fouling?

Direct Conclusion

Fouling is a common cause, but it could also be due to vacuum system leaks, reduced ejector efficiency, or elevated cooling water temperature.

Judgment Criteria

  1. 01

    Check the temperature difference between cooling water inlet and outlet against the condensing temperature. If the temperature difference decreases while water temperatures remain normal, scaling is likely.

  2. 02

    Perform vacuum tightness test to rule out system leaks and issues with the extraction equipment.
