Delta-Elektrogas LD – LDM Tightness Control Device

In the operation of industrial burners, the sealing integrity of safety valves is paramount. The LD – LDM series works by monitoring the pressure in the intermediate volume between two safety valves. The device executes a programmed test sequence: it checks if the pressure increases when it should be at zero, or decreases when the line is pressurized. If a leak rate exceeding the calibrated limit is detected, the Delta-Elektrogas LD – LDM Tightness Control Device immediately triggers an alarm and prevents the burner from firing.

The LDM model is specifically designed for simplified mounting, often integrating directly onto the valve body to save space and reduce external piping. Its competitive advantage lies in its ability to operate independently of the gas type or supply pressure, providing consistent results across varied industrial environments. With a clear status display and high-quality internal sensors, this device serves as the brain of your gas safety system, ensuring full compliance with international safety regulations while minimizing downtime through rapid test cycles.

Description

The Delta-Elektrogas LD – LDM Tightness Control Device is an advanced safety instrument designed to verify the closure integrity of automatic shut-off valves in gas-consuming equipment. By performing a rigorous leakage test before every burner startup or after every shutdown, this device ensures that no hazardous gas enters the combustion chamber, providing a critical layer of protection for industrial thermal plants.
