Applications

In addition to the basic diagram shown in Fig. 2-5, other connections are possible.
System with 2 safety valves and 2 pressure switches (Fig.6).
In the case of a large test volume, in order to reduce the testing time, two pressure switches can
be used and set with different pressure values PL and PH.
When the tightness test is finished with positive result, the OK enable signal is sent to the
burner control, which can now open the V1 and V2 valves.

Multiple burner system with 2 safety valves installed in series and auxiliary valves for the
filling and discharge (Fig.8).
The device checks the tightness of the main valve V1, the auxiliary valves VF and VD and the
safety valves of each burner.
When the tightness test is finished with a positive result, the OK enable signal opens the main
valve V1 and it is sent to the burner control, to enable the opening of the valves of each burner.

Multiple burner system with 3 safety valves installed in series (Fig.9)
If the main valves V1 and V2 are slow opening is necessary to install the VF and VD auxiliary
valves for filling and discharging of the test volume VT.
The device checks the tightness of the main valves V1 and V2 and the auxiliary valves VF and
VD. The valve V2 can only be tested if the downstream pressure is approximately equal to the
atmospheric pressure and the volume of this chamber is at least equal to 5xVT.
To this purpose the VK valve is opened by the Start-up signal to relieve the pressure at the
value which is adjusted with the pressure switch P2 (it must be calibrated so as to detect
minimum increases of pressure). When the tightness test is finished with positive result, the OK
signal disables the VK valve (via the K normally closed contact), opens the valves V1 and V2
and, at the same time, enables the control units of each burner located downstream.
