Heat exchanger scaling
Thread Content
The inlet and outlet temperatures of the circulating water remain unchanged, as do the flow rate and temperature of the medium being cooled. Scaling might be the cause, but is it occurring inside the tubes or outside the shell? How can this be determined?
There is no change in the inlet and outlet temperatures of the circulating water, and there is no change in the flow rate and temperature of the cooling medium； Since nothing has changed, why consider scaling?
Be clearer! I don’t understand what you mean!
This phenomenon means that the cooler isn’t functioning at all; perhaps we should consider the possibility of a short circuit in the circulating water circuit.

“The inlet and outlet temperatures of the circulating water remain unchanged, as do the flow rate and temperature of the medium being cooled. This simply indicates that the circulating water is not involved at all in the heat exchange process with the medium. So first, check whether there are any problems with the cooling water pipes. There’s one more thing I don’t understand: what is the medium? What are the inlet and outlet temperatures of the medium? What are the temperatures at the cooling water inlet and outlet? Is it getting close to room temperature?
The temperature hasn’t dropped, which indicates that the circulating water cooling system isn’t working properly. Could there be an issue with the flow process that causes a short circuit? Or is there severe scaling in the circulating water pipes? Perhaps there are holes in the partitions of the water cooler, preventing the circulating water from flowing through it and causing a short circuit inside the heat exchanger. It’s also unclear what the temperatures of the medium to be cooled and the circulating water are. If the temperature difference is only a few degrees, then that doesn’t provide any useful information either
I hope the original poster can phrase their question more clearly, so we can learn together:*handshake
