Failure modes to watch for
Every guide in the Pfaudler Pfaudler RA / RT glass-lined library lists the candidate root causes its procedure rules out. These are the distinct failure modes we've documented so far, a useful starting point if you don't yet know which specific alarm or symptom you're chasing.
Hard water scale (calcium carbonate) depositing on jacket inner surface
Corrosion products from jacket material accumulating at low flow areas
Heat transfer fluid degradation products depositing on the jacket wall
Air pocket trapped in the jacket reducing effective heat transfer area
Seal face wear from abrasive slurry or dry running during flush loss
Seal flush supply pressure below the minimum required differential
O-ring material incompatibility or aging causing bypass leakage
Agitator shaft misalignment or vibration accelerating face wear

How to fix an agitator seal leak on a Pfaudler RA / RT glass-lined reactor
A drip at the agitator shaft seal means the mechanical seal faces or the seal flush system has failed. Stop the agitator, isolate the reactor, and replace the seal.
How to inspect for glass lining damage on a Pfaudler RA / RT glass-lined reactor
Iron contamination in the product or a failed spark test confirms glass lining damage. Schedule a spark test inspection during the next cleaning cycle and assess for repair or re-lining.
How to diagnose jacket fouling on a Pfaudler RA / RT glass-lined reactor
Declining heat transfer in a jacketed reactor means fouling on the jacket side. Track the overall heat transfer coefficient trend and plan a jacket clean at the next opportunity.
