DAMAGE DETECTION SYSTEM FOR A PIPE LINE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING DAMAGE OF THE PIPE LINE

摘要

In the piping system damage determination system and the piping system damage determination method using the same, the piping system damage determination system includes a plurality of valves, a local control unit, and a central control unit. The valves are provided in the pipe, and each includes a sensor unit for sensing damage to the pipe, and a driving unit for opening or blocking the pipe. The local control unit receives information from valves located in a specific area, determines the location of damaged pipes in the specific area, and controls driving units of the valves in the specific area. The central control unit determines the location of the damaged pipe based on the sensing signal provided from the valves, and controls the driving units of the valves. Each of the valves exchanges information between adjacent valves.
