n <br />Vaporless 99 LD -2000 Addendum <br />5.0 Description of the 99 LD -2000 <br />thThe 99 LD -2000 mechanical leak detector incorporates a poppet valve and metering pin. When <br />e pump is activated, fuel is metered into the line to raise the pressure. If the pressure rises <br />above 24 psi, the poppet valve opens and full flow into the line occurs: If the pressure fails to rise <br />above 24 psi, fuel flow in the line is restricted to approximately 2 gal/min. <br />The 99 LD -2000 mechanical line leak detector is based on the original LD -2000 d <br />Vaporless in 1990. Features of the 99 LD -2000 include: eveloped by <br />Drastically reduced piston size of the leak detector making for a much more responsive <br />leak detector, significantly reducing the fuel needed to p g.piass through the meterin and <br />poppetto allow full flow of the pump. n and <br />• Eliminates traditional fuel flow path to the piston allowing the leak detector met <br />system better isolation from the turbulence and hydraulic effects found in the enng <br />dig pip startup. This fuel flow change also eliminates the mechanical and therm head <br />effects present in the upper half of the pump, allowing the leak detector. to only respond <br />to line pressure changes. <br />• More responsive leak detectors allowing the line to open up for pumping more quickly, <br />When the pump is off, it will reset to leak sense position faster because ofthe smaller <br />amount of fuel under the -piston.- Additionally, the leak -detector does not have to <br />completely reset to cycle through the leak sense position. If the line pressure falls as low <br />as 5 psi (when the pump is off, the leak detector is forced into the leak sense mode. <br />• Reduced surface area of the piston results in less exposure to hydraulic line sh <br />enhancing leak detection performance not onl on <br />i <br />flexible piping systems. yin steel and fiberglass lines but also n <br />• Higher leak sense pressure is possible due to the reduced piston area.
