The first, truly documented simulation is a nearly severed hose. First tests with loose screwed fittings, leaking radiators (the famous screw without under protection causes a hole in the duct) as well as a nail pressed into the hose were absolutely unspectacular. This kind of light leakage would normally be the super-GAU for a water circuit, but it is of course not a challenge for the LEAKSHIELD. Pascal has of course included all these experiments in his video. For now, here are screenshots from the video and some verbal fodder for the text and image generation.
First, let’s start with a light cut of the sharp cutter knife, which would normally already mean the end of a functioning system:
We see in the close-up the cut in the soft tube and a small air bubble.
The LEAKSHIELD immediately sends a suitable alarm to our eyes and ears, but the system continues to run dutifully for the time being. Water leaks? Nope!
Now we bravely grab the knife again and cut down into half of the tube. Also now no eye remains dry, the table however does. So it works!
The slow-motion image beautifully shows the air bubbles created by the ambient air being sucked in and migrating towards the expansion tank. Only the knife is wet, the rest is not.
Air is now bubbling in the LEAKSHIELD, which can also escape here. The vacuum pump also manages this situation, but much more would certainly not be possible. The alarm switches to “Critical leakage” and now you should probably consider to solve the problem finally. Attention: if you simply switch off the system now, you also de-energize the LEAKSHIELD and with a bit of bad luck the leakage will now escape unpressured.
