3.Material test run, in the continuous water test run is basically normal, the operation process
parameters are stable before moving to the material test run.
CIP cleaning of equipment before feeding material, the process is as follows: 10 minutes of water → 20
minutes of 2% hydroxide solution → 10 minutes of water → 10 minutes of 2% nitric acid solution → 10
minutes of water.
The first time you start feeding trial, it should be about 10% larger than the normal feeding volume, and
then gradually adjust according to the discharge concentration. In the process of feeding trial, the
throttle washer should be further adjusted according to the operating process parameters.
4.The equipment should never be allowed to interrupt the material liquid in the process of feeding
operation, the cooling water should be sufficient, the cooling water temperature should not exceed the
designed agreed value that is 30-42℃, the concentration should be checked before feeding whether it is
in line with the designed given parameters, the operation procedure should be strictly implemented and
the records should be done carefully.

1 low vacuum. The main reason for the low vacuum is the serious leakage at each joint. The solution is
to find the leakage point and find the cause of the leakage to be solved.
Cooling water temperature rise and cooling water quantity reduction will also cause low vacuum,
therefore, check the cooling water temperature and water quantity also.
2.Difficulty in draining condensate
The main reasons for the difficulty of condensate drainage are: leakage, focusing on the investigation of
various joint parts, followed by check whether the mechanical seal of the pump is damaged
3 difficulty in discharging
The main reasons for the difficulty in discharging are: leakage, focusing on the investigation of various
joint parts, separator body, followed by check whether the mechanical seal of the pump is damaged.
4 low evaporation capacity
The main reason for the low evaporation capacity is that the distributor is out of place. Check whether
the upper and lower distributor are misaligned. The correct installation method is that the lower
distributor pinhole is facing between the tubes of the tube sheet. The upper distributor pinhole and the
lower distributor pinhole are staggered, and the small hole on the upper distributor does not aim at the
13 / 24
air duct on the lower distributor. Once the upper and lower distributors are dislocated, evaporation or
non-evaporation will be seriously affected. The electrode is checked through small holes according to the
working principle of distributor. If there is a dislocation, it should be corrected in time.
Insufficient steam pressure; entrainment of water in steam; serious scaling and coking in evaporator. In
view of the above reasons one by one to eliminate and solve.
