Leakage Detection Based on Fluid Property Changes

Abstract

A leakage detection system is described, with the leakage detection system comprising a fluid chamber (8) containing a first fluid, and a sealing element (12) located between the fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber (15), said sealing element (12) being adapted for sealing the first fluid in the fluid chamber (8), and the second fluid chamber (15) being located adjacent the sealing element and containing a second fluid. The leakage detection system further comprises a detection unit (19) in fluid connection with the second fluid chamber, said detection unit being adapted for detecting leakage by evaluating a property of the second fluid, with said property being affected by first fluid leaking into the second fluid.
