Overview of the various designs for
OVERPRESSURE LEAK DETECTORS DL.. GI 1
Overview of the various designs
The different designs of overpressure leak detectors in the DL series are described more
precisely by means of the attached letters.
DL …. ELC (P) FC M The leak detector’s ‘manometer’ design is
equipped with a digital pressure reading in
the housing’s lid.
The leak detector’s ‘filter control’ design is
equipped with a monitoring device for the dry
filter, which emits a separate status signal
when the dry material has been consumed.
It is only available for alarm pressures of up to
450 mbars.
The leak detector’s ‘protected’ design is located
in a weatherproof housing.
Leak detectors for alarm pressures of 590 mbars
and higher are only available in this design.
The leak detector’s 'economic leak control’ design
functions as both a leak detector and a leak reading
device: whereby the leak detector is equipped with
an integrated distribution for connecting up to 6
tanks.
This design is always weatherproof and the ’P’ is
therefore inapplicable.
‘Numerical values’ for the leak detector’s alarm
pressure.
The alarm pressures range from 50 mbars to 3,000
mbars.
The leak detector’s ‘pressure leak detector’ design works
at overpressure in relation to the atmospheric pressure.

Overpressure leak detector for double-walled tanks with pressure provided either by a pump or
by a compressed gas supply.
DL .. Overpressure leak detector with integrated pump. Dots stand for alarm pressure.
DLG .. Overpressure leak detector with compressed gas supply. Dots stand for alarm pressure
2 Field of application
2.1 Requirements for interstitial space
•Evidence of the pressure resistance of the interstitial space (see Annex B, column "pTEST"
minimum test pressure of the interstitial space)
•Evidence of the suitability of the interstitial space (for Germany: Building Inspectorate
Suitability Serification)
•Tightness of the interstitial space (see chap. 6.4.4)
•The number of interstitial spaces for monitoring in underground tanks depends on the total
interstitial space volume. According to prEN 13160, 8 m3must not be exceeded. It is
recommended not to exceed 4 m³ with regard to the feasibility of monitoring the tightness of
the interstitial space.
2.2 Tanks/interstitial space (see chapter 2.4)
•Under- and above ground double-walled steel or plastic tanks, without leak detection liquid
in the interstitial space, manufactured in the factory or on site, whose interstitial space is
suitable for the connection of a DL .. as per Annex B.
•Under- and above ground single-walled steel or plastic tanks with pressure-resistant leak
detection lining or leak detection jacketing, whose interstitial space is suitable for the
connection of a DL .. as per Annex B.
•Double-walled sumps or containments with interstitial space suitable for the connection of a
DL .. as per Annex B.
2.3 Stored products
Liquids hazardous to water with regard to the following points:
•The leak detection medium must not react with the stored products.
•Vapour/air mixtures resulting from the
- stored liquid
- stored liquid in combination with air / humidity or condensation
- stored liquid in combination with parts (materials) in contact with the liquid
must be classified in gas group IIA and II B and in temperature code T1 to T3.

OVERPRESSURE – LEAK DETECTOR DL ..
2.4 Exclusion
If permeation occurs in the interstitial space as a result of the stored product and the material
structure of the inner tank wall (e.g. in double-walled GRP tanks) which can result in an
explosive atmosphere in the interstitial space under normal operating condition, ONLY leak
detector DLG .. must be used in combination with an inert leak detection medium (pressure
cylinder or operational network).
3 Description of functions
The overpressure leak detector DL .. resp. DLG .. monitors both walls of a tank for leaks. The
monitoring pressure is high so that any leaks above or below the liquid level (stored product and
ground water) are detected as a fall in pressure.
Pressure is built in up in:
DL .. by sucking in the outside air through the
integrated pump via a dry filter and forwarding it
to the interstitial space.
The dry filter dries the air to approx. 10%
humidity. Drying is necessary to prevent
moisture/condensation from collecting in the
interstitial space. Spent dry filter fillings must
be regenerated or replaced.
DLG .. by conveying compressed gas (dried air or
intert gas) to the interstitial space. The leak
detector has a display in the housing lid which
shows the operating pressure in the interstitial
space.
•Values under 50 mbar or under 0.73 PSI are
not shown.
•Values between 50 and 999 mbar are shown
in mbar without decimals.
•Values from 1 bar are shown in bar with 2
decimal places and from 10 bar with 1 decimal
place.
•Values in PSI are shown with 1 or 2 decimal
places.
3.1 Switching and pressure values
Annex B contains a list of the switching values.
3.2 Normal operation
The overpressure leak detector is connected by pressure and measuring line with the interstitial
space(s). The overpressure created by the pressure generator (pump or pressure cylinder) is
measured and controlled by a pressure sensor.
On reaching the operating pressure (refill OFF), the pressure generator (pump or solenoid
valve) is switched off. The pressure slowly falls again due to unavoidable leaks in the leak
detection system. On reaching the switching value for "refill ON", the pressure generator is
switched on again and operating pressure restored.
In normal operation, the leak detector swings between these two pressure values with short
operational times and longer standstill periods, depending on the level of tightness and
temperature fluctuations in the system.

OVERPRESSURE – LEAK DETECTOR DL ..
3.3 Air or liquid leak
If a leak occurs below or above the liquid level or ground water, leak detection medium escapes
from the interstitial space. Pressure falls until the pressure generator is switched on to restore
the operating pressure. If the volume flow escaping out of the leak is greater than the refill
intake from the pressure generator, then the pressure in the system falls although the pressure
generator is activated.
Enlargement of the leak causes a further loss in pressure until the alarm pressure is reached.
The visual and audible alarm is triggered.
3.4 Air drying / dry filter (DL . ONLY)
The air fed to the interstitial space passes through a dry filter in the suction line. The dry filter
dries the air to approx. 10% humidity to prevent corrosion and accumulation of condensation1in
the interstitial space.
The dry filter is rated for twelve months as long as the system is used for its intended use and
there are no additional fluctuations in temperature.
A dry filter is orange when new and turns colourless (or green) when spent. Spent dry filters
must be replaced or regenerated without delay.
3.5 Overpressure valve
The overpressure valve integrated in the pressure line protects the interstitial space from
intolerably high overpressure (exceeding the test pressure).
Intolerably high overpressure can be caused among others by:
•increase in ambient temperature (e.g. direct sunshine)
•increase in temperature from hot filling (possibly consult manufacturer)

7 Removal
For the removal of units, which can cause a risk of explosion, always comply with the following
points:
•Check that no gas is present before and during work.
•Any openings which could allow for entrainment of a potentially explosive atmosphere must
be sealed gas-tight.
•Do not use spark-producing electrical tools (saws, abrasive cutters). If this is unavoidable,
comply with EN 1127.
•Avoid the build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g. through friction or wearing unsuitable
clothing).
•Dispose of contaminated parts appropriately (risk of outgassing).
