Devices, methods, and systems for detecting refrigerant leak in a refrigeration system are described herein. One device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to detect fluctuations in a refrigerant level in a refrigerant tank of a refrigeration system, determine whether the detected fluctuations in the refrigerant level are abnormal, and determine whether a refrigerant leak is occurring in the refrigeration system based, at least in part, on whether the detected fluctuations in the refrigerant level are abnormal.

Proposed is a leak detection device including a level measurement means coupled to a cooling water storage tank in which cooling water is stored, and configured to measure a cooling water level in the cooling water storage tank, and a controller configured to detect a leak on the basis of operating mode information of the cooling system recognized on the basis of information received from the cooling system, and cooling water level information received from the level measurement means.

A method of health monitoring of a hydraulic actuator includes sensing a first hydraulic fluid pressure at a first chamber of a hydraulic cylinder, the first chamber defined by a piston disposed in the cylinder and a first cylinder wall. The method further includes sensing a second hydraulic fluid pressure at a second chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, the second chamber defined by the piston and a second cylinder wall opposite the first cylinder wall. The pressures are summed to derive a pressure sum leakage estimate. An actual piston position in the hydraulic cylinder is determined and compared to an intended piston position to determine a positional error of the piston. A command-response error leakage estimate is derived from the positional error. The pressure sum leakage estimate and the command-response error leakage estimate are fused to determine an internal hydraulic fluid leakage in the hydraulic cylinder.

When a liquid level is changed even though an inflow of a heat medium into a specific heat transfer tube bundle is stopped, it is determined that there is no abnormality in the heat transfer tube bundle in which the inflow of the heat medium is stopped and then another heat transfer tube bundle is inspected. Next, when the inflow of the heat medium into the specific heat transfer tube bundle is stopped not to cause the change in the liquid level, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the heat transfer tube bundle to which the inflow of the heat medium is stopped. Thus, it is possible to determine that there is an abnormality in the heat transfer tube bundle in which the inflow of the heat medium is stopped.

A method of health monitoring of a hydraulic system includes measuring a hydraulic fluid level at a first location in the hydraulic systems and measuring one or more of hydraulic fluid pressure and hydraulic fluid temperature at one or more second locations in the hydraulic system. A snap-shot of data is identified that meets a mode detection criteria a model requires to estimate the hydraulic fluid level. An expected hydraulic fluid level is calculated based on the measurements of hydraulic fluid pressure and/or hydraulic fluid temperature, and the expected hydraulic fluid level is compared to the measured hydraulic fluid level, the difference an indicator of leakage in the hydraulic system.

Systems and methods for detecting a leak in a rack-mounted assembly are disclosed. The system includes a floating unit positioned so as to be in contact with a surface of immersive cooling liquid contained in the rack-mounted assembly and a lever assembly mounted on the rack-mounted assembly and operatively coupled to the floating unit. In response to a variation of a level of the immersive cooling liquid being above a level threshold, the floating unit actuates the lever assembly to provide visual indication that a leak is occurring.

A vehicular liquid containment system including a tank, a pressure sensor arranged to detect a pressure in a vapor dome inside the tank, at least two thermistors configured to detect temperatures at a plurality of levels of the tank, and leak detection logic operatively connected to the pressure sensor and the thermistors. The leak detection logic is configured to: use a first thermistor of the thermistors to perform a first measurement indicative of a temperature in the vapor dome in the tank; estimate an expected pressure evolution in function of at least the first temperature measurement; monitor pressure sensed by the pressure sensor, determine whether the monitored pressure deviates from the expected pressure evolution, and generate a leak condition signal conditional on the determining.

A routing system for an agricultural sprayer includes a support configured to operably couple with the sprayer. An adaptor is configured to transfer a flow therethrough. The adaptor is at least partially positioned within an envelope defined between a wheel assembly and laterally offset components of the sprayer. A conduit has a first section operably coupled with a first portion of the adaptor and a second section operably coupled with an opposing second portion of the adaptor. The first section and the second section of the conduit are configured to transfer the flow therethrough such that the flow is serially transferred through each of the first section of the conduit, the adaptor, and the second section of the conduit.

A testing apparatus is for a tank with a jacket having an internal wall shared with the tank and an external wall. The testing apparatus has an automated controller to perform tests even during use of the tanks in a production environment. There is supply system for delivering liquid at pressure above atmospheric to the jacket. The controller detects when the tank is filled to a level above the tank jacket height to create a higher pressure in the tank than is in the jacket. The controller monitors a parameter of the jacket to detect if there is a leak from the tank into the jacket. The parameter may be jacket pressure, arising after sealing the jacket, of flow via a venting valve as detected by a flow meter. A second test can be carried out irrespective of the level in the tank, be pressurising the jacket and monitoring it for a drop in pressure.

There is provided a method (200) and a system (100) for monitoring a leakage of an insulating fluid from a termination device (10) of a high voltage cable connection (14). The system (100) comprises a sensor for measuring a parameter of the termination device and a controller configured to perform the method, which comprises receiving (115; 202) at least one measurement of a parameter of the termination device (10) from a sensor (110); and determining (125; 204) a level (312) of the insulating fluid within the termination device (10) based on the at least one measurement.
