 Bus Duct

• The bus duct system has an operating pressure of 20 mbar. The

leakage amounts to less than 2 % of the total air volume per hour.
• The starting pressure for sealing test is not allowed to transgress 30
mbar.
• From the air pressure reducing cubicle, the enclosures of the bus
duct are to be put under pressure one by one. After closing the air
ventilation valve, the decrease in pressure must be observed for an
hour. The pressure should be noted every 5 minutes, as well as the
ambient temperature. If the decrease in pressure during the hour is
less than 10 mbar, the sealing of the bus duct system is in order. In
case of a larger decrease in pressure, all sealing and welded seams
must be checked with soap water. .
• After stopping the leakage, another sealing test is performed. The
sealing test can be adversely affected by temperature fluctuations;
therefore the bus duct should not be exposed to direct solar
radiation.
