Definitions
- US6620274 describes a method for repairing leaks of an aluminium heat exchanger by using e.g. an epoxy-type curable resin, which is provided directly around a damaged portion of the heat exchanger.
- an epoxy-type curable resin which is provided directly around a damaged portion of the heat exchanger.
- a filling pipe may be inserted into the upper port and located above said channel.
- the specific channel may be filled.
- the channel is filled until the substance being visible in level with the edge of the upper port.
- a sufficient filling of the channel is detected when any leakage is located below the upper port. If the leakage is known to be located at a lower level, less of the channel may be filled.
- the opposite (adjacent) channel may be filled to obtain a higher security against leakage. By this any leakage may be prevented to enter the opposite channel.
- the balloon is provided with an anti-adhesive oil, wax or similar, which facilitate removal of the balloon.
- a second fluid may flow from another port (not shown), via every other second channel including a first channel 51 and a second channel 52 that are adjacent (or “opposite") the channel to block 5, and to another port (not shown).
- Such flow of fluid is well known within the art and may be
- the adjacent channel 52 may be filled in a similar manner for obtaining a higher security against leakage through the hole 59.
- steps 204 and 206 may be omitted if other ways to introduce the substance in the channel respectively verification of the filling are implemented.
- several channels may be blocked in one operation by simultaneously pumping the substance into the channels.
