9.3 Liquid Leaks/Leak Alarm
NOTE When cutting tubing and preparing fittings, avoid
crimping the tubing. Crimped tubing is a common cause
of high backpressure.
NOTE After eliminating the source of a leak, always dry the
leak sensor thoroughly. If the leak sensor is not dry, it
will remain activated and will continue to report a leak
to the audit trail.
•
Leaking fitting
Locate the source of the leak. Tighten or, if necessary, replace the liquid line
connection.
•
Broken or damaged liquid line
Cut the tubing at the break and install a new fitting.
–or–
If cutting the tubing would make it too short, replace it. The new tubing must
be the same type (and have the same internal diameter) as the tubing it
replaces.
–or–
If leaking liquid creates a hazard, stop the leak immediately by turning
off the flow at the source.
Si une fuite de liquide crée un danger, arrêtez immédiatement la fuite
en fermant l'écoulement à la source.
Wenn eine Gefährdung durch austretende Flüssigkeit besteht,
stoppen Sie die Leckage unmittelbar, indem Sie den Fluß an der
Quelle abstellen.
