Method and device for determining and/or monitoring the air tightness of an enclosed room
The invention relates to a method for determining and/or monitoring the air tightness of an enclosed room (2) which is equipped with an oxygen reducing system (1) and in the atmosphere of which at least one oxygen content that can preferably be determined in advance and is reduced in comparison to the normal surrounding air can be set and maintained in order to prevent and/or extinguish fires by introducing an oxygen-displacing gas. The oxygen reducing system (1) has a compressor system (4; 4.1, 4.2) for compressing an initial gas mixture and a gas separation system (3; 3.1, 3.2) downstream of the compressor system (4; 4.1, 4.2) for separating at least one part of the oxygen contained in the initial gas mixture and for providing a nitrogen-enriched gas which is supplied to the enclosed room (2). The differential pressure set in the room (2) is ascertained and compared to a corresponding reference value, whereby information regarding the air tightness of the room (2) is provided.
Method for leak testing and reference leak device for leak testing
A method for leak testing includes a leak testing step and a reference leak step. In the leak testing step, a hollow work 20 as a test object is encapsulated in a work capsule 11. A test pressure is supplied to the work capsule 11 through a path 2a connected to the work capsule. A variation of pressure inside the work capsule 11 is detected in a condition in which the path 2a is shut-off, and a judgment is made whether a leakage through the work is generated based on the detected output. In the reference leak step, a reference leak device 30 having a known pinhole 31a is mounted on a work 20′ for reference leakage that is same as the work 20 as the test object. The work 20′ for reference leakage is encapsulated in the work capsule 11. The test pressure is supplied to the work capsule 11 via the path 2a, and a reference leakage is generated in the work 20′ for reference leakage via the reference leak device 30 in a condition in which the path 2a is shut-off. A variation of pressure inside the work capsule 11 accompanying the reference leakage is detected.
TEST METHODOLOGY TO REDUCE FALSE REJECTIONS AND INCREASE NUMBER OF CONTAINERS TESTED FOR TIGHTNESS
A method and system of testing a tightness of a closed container using a two-part test. The first part of the two-part test includes connecting the closed container to a gas supply and filing the closed container with a testing gas from the gas supply. A first leak rate of the closed container is measured over a first period of time, and when the first leak rate is less than a first threshold, the controller identifies the closed container as compliant. Conversely, when the first leak rate is greater than the first threshold, the controller measures a second leak rate of the closed container over a second period of time. When the second leak rate is greater than a second threshold, the controller identifies the closed container as noncompliant, and when the second leak rate is less than the second threshold, the controller identifies the closed container as compliant.

System and method for compressor leak detection
A method for leak detection in a system including a compressor. A first pressure differential is determined in the system via a first pressure differential indicator (PDI).
