It is recommended to shut down, drain, and repair by welding...
Park, remove, and repair – there’s no other way! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The original poster can look into the methods for repairing leaks online.
Leak in the middle of the shell side? Which place? On the base metal or at the weld? At the main weld or at the fillet weld?
It is possible to seal the leak while the system is under pressure, and then carry out repairs and replacements at an appropriate time~
Online leak sealing can still solve the problem; in fact, many companies are working in this area.
Using a flat chisel for riveting yields excellent results.
