CHECK LIST FOR ANALYSIS OF LOW VACUUM PROBLEM:1. Whether WATER FILL TEST was conducted. If yes, what are the results. 2. Whether STEAM PRESSURIZATION TEST was conducted. If yes, what are the results. 3. What is the TYPE OF COOLING WATER SYSTEM:(i) Open circuit:- with siphon or without siphon (ii) Closed circuit:- cooling tower or reservoir 4. Ensure all valves in CW line are fully open. 5. Ensure proper venting of CW pipe line. 6. What are the rated current and voltage of CW motor. 7. What is the ambient temperature at site. 8. What is barometric pressure at site. 9. How many vacuum pulling equipment in service. 10. Ensure thermal load is not high (drains connected to turbine flash tank / box are not passing). 11. Pressure tapping provided for PG test and spare point are isolated and not passing. 12. Thermowell threading plug point for PG test thermowell / spare points are not passing. 13. Ensure water is filled in vacuum breaker. 14. Water gland sealing should be in service. 15. Whether vacuum is normal at low load / barring gear. 16. What is the result of shut off vacuum for each ejectors. 17. What is the result of vacuum drop test in mm Hg per minute.
