Page 13: Setup For Pressure
7.0 Setup for Pressure Pumps incorporating pressure leak detection are shipped from the factory with the system fully set up to work at full pump pressure. No further setup is required. The standard factory barrier fluid is silicone oil, if any other customer-specified media is used it must be compatible with construction materials. - Page 14 Complete re-assembly of the diaphragm, reagent head, and external components if they were taken apart. Ensure that reagent head and tie-bar bolts are tightened according to the appropriate torque specifications Remove the pressure gauge from the housing body and replace it with a straight tubing adaptor fitting.
- Page 15 Connect a hand pump to the fitting on the outlet side of the system, and apply vacuum, which serves to pull the barrier fluid through the system. Attach the incoming barrier fluid supply under pressure to the inlet side and verify that the needle valve is open.
- Page 16 7.13 In order to fully balance and evacuate the leak detection system, the pump must now run at normal discharge pressure for a period of about 30 minutes to one hour. This ensures that excess barrier fluid is fully evacuated from the system. 7.14 Supply either process fluid, or test fluid (i.e.

Page 17: Pressure Fill Chamber
8.0 Pressure fill chamber Under certain conditions, when barrier fluids other than water are used, a pressure chamber can be fabricated from readily available fittings that allow the barrier fluid to be fed under pressure to the inlet of the system. Users may wish to fabricate a device based upon this sketch which will aid in the setup of the pressure-based system. - Page 18 • Connect a vacuum pump to the top fitting of the fluid fill device. Open BOTH valves on the device. • Place the lower fill tube into the container of the barrier fluid • Using the vacuum function, use the hand pump to draw several ounces of fluid up into the fill device.
