8 / 28
part no. 15 071 53 e
PREPARATION FOR ASSEMBLY
Before starting the installation process, observe the following in addition to the
INFORMATION ON SAFETY AND USE:
Leak detector liquid
Generally, leak detector liquids are ethylene or propylene glycol-based liquids. They are
mixed with water in a specified ratio. The mixture must be adjusted so that it cannot freeze.
Leak detector liquids may not enter into a dangerous chemical reaction with the materials that
they come into contact with and are therefore especially conditioned for their intended use.
In Germany, only approved leak detector liquids may be used, see QR-Code.
Some tanks may be filled with leak detector liquids in the factory (notice on type
label).
In Germany, leak detector liquids may be replaced or mixed only if this is
permitted according to an expert assessment. Observe the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the leak detector liquid.
Permitted leak detector liquids
In the area of application of the ordinance (EU) no. 305/2011:
•
in systems for the transport/the distribution/storage of fuel oil for the supply of
heating/cooling systems in buildings, as well as in facilities for the transport, the distribution
and the storage of water which is not intended for human consumption:
•
Antifrogen
®
N
from the company CLARIANT with file number BAM 6.1/15163.
In the area of application:
•
the sample administrative provision for technical building regulations (MVV TB) as a
construction product and part of systems for the storage, filling and handling of water-
endangering materials in Germany
•
the replacement of leak detectors in Germany
•
leak detection systems in EU member states (possibly with national certificate of suitability
for intended use)
In EU member states, leak detector liquids may only be used which satisfy the
provisions of the respective national laws and regulations.
Figure 2:
Leak detector liquid tank – LDL tank with sensor unit
The monitoring space contains a specified volume of
leak detector liquid (see type label on the tank !). The
larger this volume is, the larger the overall usable volume
of all LDL tanks of the leak detector system must be.
The usable volume
V
a
is 50% of the volume between the
level of the liquid directly before an alarm is triggered and
the top of the LDL tank. The usable volume is
V
a
= 4
.
5 l.
An inspection glass is used to check the level of the
liquid.
