Last stage ejector condenser(After condenser) pressure should be slightly positive other 21 days ago Unlike Like

TomUnfollow Follow Tom Tom McCandless I like all of Alan Manza details but would add one more thing that happed in my facility. Some times if the water chemistry is off, the air ejector nozzle within the jet pump will scale up which diminishes the efficiency of the ejector package. Cleaning or replacement may be necessary to get the proper performance back. 19 days ago Unlike Like
