3. Source of leaks
This section summarizes the main modes of deterioration affecting condenser tubes, and therefore likely to be the cause of leaks encountered during operation. .
We distinguish :
the origins of diseases specific to each tube grade (titanium, brass, stainless steel, etc.);
origins of maintenance operations (e.g. high-pressure water jet cleaning of tubes);
origins related to the presence of migrating bodies inside the condenser.
