There is provided a system and method for detecting excess flow in an engine fluid system, the method comprising sensing a temperature of a fluid flowing in a fluid line of the fluid system, the fluid line located downstream of a fluid flow restrictor configured to receive the fluid from a source upstream thereof and to flow the fluid from the source into the fluid line downstream thereof, comparing the temperature to a temperature threshold, and when the temperature is beyond the temperature threshold, detecting excess flow of the fluid in the fluid line and outputting an excess flow indication accordingly.

An apparatus for automatic leak detection, including a chamber to enclose a test specimen. A vacuum pump is in selectable fluid communication via an adiabatic noise cancellation valve with the chamber. A pressure transducer determines a pressure in the test specimen and transmits a pressure signal to a controller. The controller is to control the adiabatic noise cancellation valve to cause the vacuum pump to draw a vacuum from a space between the test specimen and the chamber thereby creating an adiabatic noise cancelling condition in which a temperature of the test specimen is stabilized. The controller is to control a flow of a test gas into the test specimen, and to determine a pressure decay rate from the pressure signal. The controller is to determine if the test specimen meets a leak test specification based on the pressure decay rate under the adiabatic noise cancelling condition.

Disclosed is an apparatus for detecting a leakage of a coolant in a battery cooling device for a vehicle. In particular, the apparatus includes: a first pressure sensor to detect a first pressure in a coolant pipe; and a controller to receive a first pressure value from the first pressure sensor. The controller determines whether the coolant leaks in the coolant pipe based on the first pressure value.

The apparatus is used for testing heat exchangers having mutually separate first and second flow paths. The apparatus provides a high pressure fluid source (10) to connect with a first pressure-sealed flow path of the heat exchanger under test. A volumetric sensor (VS) is connected to a selected pressure-sealed flow path, having a sensing chamber arranged to receive fluid from the selected flow path. The sensing chamber is connected to a further fluid source such as a compressed air reservoir (16) which provides a high pressure gas supply. Movement of a magnetic float within the sensing chamber is detected by an array of Hall effect sensors, enabling a CPU to calculate the rate of leakage between the two flow paths which may be signaled to a local display and/or alarm or remotely via an internet connection.

The respirator fit monitor described herein can be worn continuously by users so as to provide an indication as to how well their masks are fitting during use, thereby providing quantitative, wearable fit testers available for continuous use in real-life situations. The monitor includes a low-cost optical particle sensor assembly and controller unit for performing mask fit tests by comparing particle concentrations inside and outside of the mask. The fit test monitor is low cost and wearable, capable of dual sampling, capable of fit factor ratios well above 100, is battery powered and provides near real time measurements with a means for indicating the fit of the mask. The system includes wired or wireless communications for data logging, analysis and display capabilities.

A water filter for a refrigerator appliance with a sensor embedded in the water filter and related methods of detecting a leak in the refrigerator appliance are provided. Such methods include, and the refrigerator appliance may be configured for, measuring, by the sensor embedded in the water filter, at least one of water pressure in the water filter and flow through the water filter. A rate of change of the at least one of water pressure in the water filter and flow through the water filter over time is calculated. When there is no system demand for water, a leak is detected based on the increase in the rate of change over time.

An endoscope leak test connector includes: a rotating body configured to cause a ventilation member to project from a leak test pipe sleeve by rotating in a positive direction and cause the ventilation member to be buried into the leak test pipe sleeve by rotating in a negative direction; a gas inlet configured to be connected with a gas supply source; a facing member configured to face the ventilation member projecting from the leak test pipe sleeve; a gas outlet that is open on the facing member; and a seal portion configured to seal the gas outlet and the ventilation member so that the gas outlet and the ventilation member liquid-tightly communicate with each other.
