During emergency tube leaks ,It is always difficult to replace boiler water wall tubes with in a very short period due to inaccessible locations. Application of Window Patching can solve this issue.But Window Patching cannot be guaranteed as a "Permanent solution" to the problem. This is considered " Temporary Solution " !
The question is not specific where the leaks occured , either in welded joint or from tube surface.
Window patching is a good remedy during emergency repair, but leaks can be prevented with the following methods:
1. Determining service life of boiler tubes for preventive maintenance
2. Random ,none distructive tube thickness determination during schedule shut down.
3.Hydro test after tubes repair.
