Valve proving system
Program sequence
The tightness test starts by checking the external pres-
sure switch. If pressure p
Z
> p
u
/2, program A starts. If
pressure p
Z
< p
u
/2, program B starts, see page 41
Program A
Valve V1 opens for the opening time t
L
set in param-
eter 59. V1 closes again. During the measurement
time t
M
, the tightness control checks the pressure p
Z
between the valves.
If pressure p
Z
is less than half the inlet pressure p
u
/2,
test volume V
p1
is leaking.
If pressure p
Z
is greater than half the inlet
pressure p
u
/2, test volume V
p1
is tight. Valve V3 is
opened for the set opening time t
L
. V3 closes again.
During the measurement time t
M
, the tightness control
checks the pressure p
Z
between the valves.
If pressure p
Z
is greater than half the inlet
pressure p
u
/2, valve V1 is leaking.
If pressure p
Z
is less than half the inlet pressure p
u
/2,
valve V1 is tight.
The tightness test can only be performed if pressure p
d
downstream of V3 is around atmospheric pressure.
