I have a crack in my 1.7 stainless steel heat exchanger. I did a water test by plugging up the ends and one of my pipes in the right exchanger leaks out all the water from inside the stainless steel covering in about 15 second. Who fixes these things? Any idea how expensive a repair will be? Thanks in advance

' date='May 12 2020, 08:25 PM' [/quote] Is the crack in a visible location? I woyld be very onyeresyed in seeing the crack. I once had a pair that had cracks in the outer shells and the edges. I called SSI which was still un the U.S. The pair i had were very early set with no spot welds in between the tubes in the tubes. They also said they had a report of a tube crack and were changing to a fully annealed grade of 301 stainless. I would scrap them. Even if you repair them more cracks could develop. Not worth the risk of CO poisening. |
