3 .3 .1 Program sequence
The program flow chart explains the
process during the TEST phase.
After start-up the waiting time t
W
starts to elapse. Then either the left
or right path is executed.
– If the interspace pressure p
Z
is
greater than half of the inlet pres-
sure p
u
/2 after the waiting time
t
W
, V2 is tight. V2 is opened for a
duration of 3 seconds to vent the
interspace. Then the measure-
ment time t
M
starts to elapse. If
no interspace pressure can be
measured after this time, V1 is
also tight. Both valves have thus
been checked.
– If no interspace pressure p
Z
can
be measured after the waiting
time t
W
, V1 is tight. Then V1 is
opened for 3 seconds to fill the
space between the valves. Then
the measurement time t
M
starts
to elapse. If a pressure can be
measured in the interspace after
this time, V2 is also tight. Both
valves have thus been checked.
