Gas Density and Pressure Monitoring Densistat 100 for SF6 and other Gases Type: D100 for indoor and outdoor use The Densistat Model 100 is designed specially to monitor the density of the SF6 gas used to blanket highvoltage circuit breakers. It incorporates a manometer for relative pressure, referenced to 20 °C. Large pressure gauge (Ø 100 mm) Pressure connection concentric or angled in any of four directions High long term stability Precise switching accuracy Up to four micro switches The Densistat 100 uses a chamber filled with an identical gas as a reference. When the reference chamber and the switching enclosure are at the same temperature, a change in density in the latter will induce a pressure differential. The switching enclosure and the reference chamber are separated one from another by a metal bellows. A differential in pressure will cause a deformation of the bellows. This deflection motion is transferred via a switching rod with a switching plate to actuate the micro switch required for signaling purposes. The switching thresholds can be adjusted by way of lockable screws at the switching cam. The pressure connection can be installed at the factory either concentric to the housing at the rear or angled in any of the four directions. Up to four micro switches with double-throw contacts can be installed in the Model 100. The contact outputs for the micro switches terminate in an appropriate multi pole socket inside the junction box. The corresponding connector cable passes to the outside world through a suitable cable gland. The junction box cover, the cable gland, the connector cable and the plug-type connector form a unit that can easily be mounted and removed with just a screwdriver. The arrangement of the measurement mechanism and the use of vibration-resistant micro switches eliminate any shock-induced chattering at the switching contacts. The analog pressure indicator with color-coded scale (Ø 100 mm) shows the relative pressure of the SF6 gas, referenced to 20°C in the switching enclosure. If the density of the gas drops as a result of a leak, the change will be indicated by the pointer as it moves along the color-coded scale. The colors and the transition points along the scale can be specified by the customer. The micro switch response points are then calibrated to the specified values. The unit is equipped with a GORE-TEX® membrane vent to prevent condensation. Comde-Derenda GmbH Kieler Strasse 9, 14532 Stahnsdorf / Germany
