FLUID LEAK AND MICROLEAK DETECTOR AND METHOD OF DETECTING LEAKS AND MICROLEAKS

摘要

Fluid leak and microleak detector that incorporates three aligned elements: the first element being a solenoid valve (4) that is aligned to the direction of flow, which is followed by a flowmeter (5) and finally a pressure switch (6). These items are managed and connected to an electronic board (7) which contains a computer application with two complementary routines; a routine that detects microleaks (13) for fluid losses greater than 0.15 l/h which is linked to the pressure switch (6) and the solenoid valve (4), and another routine that detects leaks (12) for fluid losses of around 3l/h and greater, which is linked to the flowmeter (5) and the solenoid valve.
