Repairing Leaks

If a leak has been located with a Tesla coil, you may find a (very) small white dot where the spark went through the glass. This dot may be hard to relocate, so it is best to clearly mark the exact location of the hole with a grease pencil or any other marker that can write on glass. Other leak detection techniques do not leave any mark, and some marking is essential. 

The best possible repair for a leak within a glass system is for the leak to be removed (see Fig. 7.66), the whole area to be heated and blown smooth, and, finally, the worked area to be flame-annealed to prevent later cracking. 

A temporary solution to vacuum system leaks that has been used for quite some time is the application of Glyptol. Although this approach may work in some iso-

In addition to the first four problems, which are of water origin, oil leakage into the water also causes problems. Oil will interfere with other treatments employed. It is therefore desirable to eliminate oil leakage as much as possible by repairing leaks as soon as they develop. 

Diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness becanse of an abnormally high synthesis of connective tissne to repair leaking capillaries and to form new capillaries. Twelve adult diabetics treated with 600 mg of anthocyanins per day for 2 months had a significant decrease in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, especially polymeric collagen and stracture glycoproteins in gingival tissue. ...

Small liquid carbon dioxide leaks produce a cracking and popping type noise evidenced by small snow particles and very cold gases. The cold gases appear as a fog that tends to settle to the ground. The fog is a combination of dry ice particles and condensed water vapor from the surrounding air. Do not attempt to walk into a vapor cloud to repair leaks. 

Never attempt to repair leaking or malfunctioning cylinder valves. Return to supplier. 

Identify any type of oil, grease, or chemical within 36 inches of belts (oil leakage from gearbox, motor, bearing, or chemicals from other sources). Write a corrective maintenance work order to repair leak or eliminate source of oil, grease, or chemical from the area.
