Ex vacuum leak detector in a two-part version: The leak detector VLXE .. A-Ex is weather- and explosion-proof and can be installed in Ex zone 1.
The associated weatherproof leak indicating unit LAE .. PM with integrated digital manometer and leak tightness detection function is installed outside an Ex area.
TYPES of leak detectors:
VLXE 34 A-Ex for tanks with a suction line to the low point of the interstitial space
VLXE 330 A-Ex for horizontal tanks with up to 3 meters diameter and without a suction line to the low point of the interstitial space as well as for flat bottom tanks
(other pressure settings are available)
TYPES of leak indicating units:
LAE 34 PM, LAE 330 PM
(other pressure settings are available)
TANKS:
- Single-walled tanks with a leak protection lining or jacket
- Double-walled horizontal and vertical tanks
- Double-walled bottoms of flat bottom tanks
STORED PRODUCTS:
Water-polluting liquids. The (possible) explosive vapor-air mixtures (also those that can be formed through the stored/conveyed liquids in contact with air, humidity, condensation, or the materials used) must be classifiable into gas group II A to II B3 as well as in the temperature code T1 to T4. Example: petrol.
Special versions with detonation flame arresters type F 502 extend the range of application to explosion group IIB + H2.
INSTALLATION:
Leak detector (device category 2): zone 1, outdoors
Leak indicating unit: outside of Ex areas, inside a building or outdoors
