Abstract
A pressure lock for a gas system with a regulator, the pressure lock comprises a pressure lock body to be fluidically connected in said gas system, whereby gas can pass from a chamber in the body via lock connection means to the gas system and activation means for delivering gas from said pressure lock body and into the gas system thereby providing a lock-up pressure, whereby the gas from said pressure lock body provides an increased pressure in the gas system, whereby the regulator is blocked for a short period of time thus allowing the detection of leaks in the gas system downstream of the regulator.
Claims16
A gas system (1) with a regulator (50), the system comprising:
- a pressure lock (200) comprising:
- a pressure lock body (205) to be fluidically connected in said gas system, whereby gas can pass from a lock chamber (206) in said body via lock connection means (220) to said gas system (1),
- activation means (210) for delivering gas from said pressure lock chamber (206) and into said gas system thereby providing a lock-up pressure (B), whereby the gas from said pressure lock body (205) provides an increased pressure in said gas system (1),
- a gas leak detector (99) being a directional gas leak detector (100) comprising:
- at least a first chamber (110) for holding liquid (150) and a second chamber (120) for holding the same liquid (150),
- a first chamber connector (112) providing a passage to said first chamber (110),
- a second chamber connector (122) providing a passage to said second chamber (120),
- said first (110) and second chambers (120) are connected by a gas bridge (130),
- wherein said pressure lock (200) is integrated with the gas leak detector (99) thereby ensuring rapid detection of a gas leak (90).
