Heat-exchanger duty, pressure drop, fouling and leakage

Use this when heat-exchanger duty, pressure drop, fouling and leakage is observed but the cause remains unclear. The diagnostic checks measurement and sampling, operating changes, issue location, and key evidence before suggesting likely causes and the next useful check.

You do not need every data point before you begin

The system asks one discriminating question at a time and updates the candidate causes on the right. Answer from current facts; choose unknown or defer a question when the evidence is not available.

  1. 1

    Confirm the issue

    Check whether the symptom is reproducible and whether the measurement or observation is reliable.

  2. 2

    Narrow the causes

    Continue through operating changes, issue location, and available inspection results.

  3. 3

    Read the live result

    Candidate causes, support, counter-evidence, conflicts, and next actions update as you answer.

Start diagnosis

This tool analyzes information you already have. It does not insert a safety screen or use safety status to stop the diagnosis. If an alarm, leak, or injury is happening now, follow the site emergency procedure directly.

Automatic troubleshooting · Selections are not uploaded

Only one question is shown at a time. Answer from current facts or defer an unknown item. Possible causes and next checks update on the right as you answer.

Phase 1 · Data validity

What is the status of the exchanger's type, flow path, plate/tube count, area, materials, gaskets, and design data?

The system asks the question most useful for separating possible causes. Unknown or deferred items are not treated as the opposite conclusion.

Each rule cites material directly relevant to its judgment. Current OEM and site procedures remain controlling.
