Deviation in the water cooler at the top of the distillation tower

The flow rate is too low, and impurity deposition causes blockages.
Furthermore, the distribution of the medium’s components is not very uniform; the heavier components tend to concentrate in the lower parts. If this is not properly adjusted, flow deviation will occur.
How to adjust? How to avoid it? Will air-cooled ones experience flow deviation?
Why does this phenomenon occur after some time?
Reduce the outlet valve of the heat exchanger in that group where there is a flow deviation, and increase the flow rate of the circulating water (this is the situation where more fluid flows away from that group of heat exchangers)
