Monitoring principle:
The pump in the leak detector creates a
operational underpressure in the interstitial space.
Any minor unavoidable untightness is
compensated by the system automatically.
In case of a leak, air, groundwater or product is
sucked into the interstitial space.
If the volume flow of air entering the interstitial
space is higher than the limited volume flow of the
vacuum pump, the pressure will rise to the alarm
underpressure.
Groundwater or stored product is sucked into the
interstitial space. When the interstitial space is
filled up, the liquid enters the liquid stop valve,
which closes then. No further underpressure can
be produced. Some more liquid will be sucked
into the measuring line, causing a rise in pressure
to the alarm underpressure. The optical and
audible alarm is released.
Installation advice:
The leak detector shall not be installed in
potentionally explosive atmosphere.
Outside closed and dry rooms, the leak detector
VL 330 P will realise the required weather
protection.
Coloured, chemical resistant, flexible or rigid tubes
are to be used as a connection between leak
detector and interstitial space.
Condensate traps are to be installed in all low
points of the connection lines, if applicable.
Three way cocks in the suction- and measuring
line on the leak detector guarantee a quick and
easy function check.
Dry relay contacts for alarm transmitting are
included as standard.
When operating, installing and commissioning the
leak detector VL 330, the conditions laid down in
the approvals for the leak detector, tanks and
linings are to be observed.
All works shall be carried out by a qualified person.
