Trouble shooting

Situation	Possible cause	Possible solution
Inadequate thermal performance at startup	- Air pockets - Insufficient service fluid	- Vent the unit - Check flow rates and temperatures
Decreasing thermal performance with in conjunction with an increased pressure drop or a reduced flow rate	- Fouling on heat-transfer surface	- Clean the unit and adjust flow rates to specified levels
Decreasing thermal performance with reduced pressure drop	-Bypass from one turn to the other caused by damaged cover gasket - Excessive operating pressure	- Replace the cover gasket - Adjust pressure to specified level
Excessive pressure drop with maintained thermal performance	- Inlet or outlet is blocked	- Clean the spiral
External leakage	- Damaged cover gasket - Insufficient pipe support(Vibration) - Relaxation of cover gasket during shut-down - Thermal expansion during start-up	- Replace the cover gasket - Adjust pipe support system - Tighten hook bolts - Tighten hook bolts. If leakage persists, check cover gasket
Internal leakage	- Heat-transfer area is damaged by erosion, corrosion or mechanical impact	- Contact KUROSE for advice. ( There is one possible for field repair. )
