Leak Detection System

The Leak Detection System is a critical component of the Electrolyte Filling System, responsible for continuously monitoring the filling process and associated piping for any unintended release of electrolyte. Its primary role is to detect leaks early, trigger alarms, and initiate safety protocols to prevent contamination, equipment damage, and potential safety hazards, thereby ensuring the quality and reliability of the final product assembly. The system is designed for integration into automated filling lines, where it interfaces with the central control unit to provide real-time monitoring and response. It employs sensors such as pressure sensors, flow meters, or optical/conductivity-based detectors, strategically placed to detect deviations from expected parameters. The system's detection sensitivity is rated at 1×10^-6 mbar·L/s, with a response time of ≤1 second, ensuring rapid identification of leaks. It operates within a pressure range of 1.0–1.6 MPa and a temperature range of 0–50 °C, with a power supply of 24 V DC (±10%) and power consumption ≤15 W. The system is protected against dust and water jets with an IP rating of IP54–IP65 (per IEC 60529), and sensor material is 316L stainless steel (per ASTM A240) for corrosion resistance. The total weight, including sensor and controller, is ≤5 kg, and the controller dimensions are 200×150×80 mm (W×H×D). Materials used include stainless steel for sensor housings and fittings, polymers for seals and gaskets, and electronic components for PCB and wiring. For procurement, verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier, as the listed parameters are reference ranges for directory purposes.

The system employs sensors (pressure, flow, or optical/conductivity) at strategic points in the filling line. It monitors for deviations from expected pressure, flow rates, or the presence of electrolyte outside designated containment. Upon detecting an anomaly indicative of a leak, the system sends a signal to the central control unit to halt the filling process, activate alarms, and log the event for maintenance. The detection sensitivity is 1×10^-6 mbar·L/s, and response time is ≤1 second. Operating pressure is 1.0–1.6 MPa, temperature 0–50 °C, and power supply 24 V DC (±10%). The system is rated IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529) and uses 316L stainless steel sensors (ASTM A240).
