The 99 LD-2200 is the first generation of Vmι leak detectors to operate without the Vmι integrated, in-line check valve.***

 

The 99 LD-2200 provides the best value in catastrophic line leak detection of any leak detector available today.

 

FIELD ADJUSTABLE LEAK THRESHOLD

 
All Vmι mechanical line leak detectors have been factory assembled and tested to meet the EPA leak detection threshold established during certification testing. Abnormal field conditions such as high line resiliency (high bleed-back), pump pressures over 30 PSI and high head pressures affect line leak detection sensitivity. Additionally, wear affects performance of leak detection over time. To meet these issues, Vmι established through certification testing, the ability of field technicians to adjust Vmι mlld’s to compensate for field variables and normal wear. Please read Technical Bulletin 032805 for specific instructions on this feature.

Longest Guarantee

The 99 LD-2200 shares the longest guarantee available in the industry, along with the Vmι 99 LD-2000 and 99 LD-3000 leak detectors. For 24 months after installation, the 99 LD-2200 is guaranteed to see a 3 GPH @ 10 PSI leak.

 

Highest Flow Capacity

If you can pump it, we can flow it! The 99 LD-2200 has maximized the flow and flow path. This new design reduces turbulent flow, maximizing pump performance for any pump housing.

 

One-Way Poppet Flow Path

The 99 LD-2200 shares this newest technology with the 99 LD-2000. The One-Way Poppet Flow Path isolates pump turbulence from line leak detection at pump start-up. Hardened Stainless Steel poppet does not dimensionally change due to thermal conditions encountered during normal station operations.

 

Reverse Ratio Piston / Poppet Combination

Reverse Ratio means the leak detector has a smaller diameter piston area than the poppet it is attached to. This smaller piston area keeps the leak detector in the fast fill position (3 GPM) to a higher pressure while compressing vapor pockets and expanding flexible pipe.

This means less time to full flow! Another benefit of the Reverse Ratio Piston / Poppet Combination is faster reset with the pump off. The leak detector does not have to completely reset (as with competitive leak detectors) for the poppet to be forced into the reset mode at pump start-up.

 

Smaller Volume / Faster Response Piston Size

With a reduced piston size, there is one-fourth the volume to replace when in leak search and one-fourth the volume to return to the line when the pump turns off. This combination makes for a more responsive and faster leak detector. Less volume to leave the line for the leak detector to reset and catch leaks. Less volume to fill and provide full flow for dispensing!

 

Superior Flex-Pipe Performance

The reduced surface area of the piston significantly reduces the surface area exposed to hydraulic line shock. This results in enhanced performance in steel and fiberglass piping, and more importantly, this leak detector has great performance in today’s flexible pipe.

 

Shortest Leak Detector Profile

The 99 series leak detectors are the lowest profile detectors available today.

 

99 LD-2200\75 for Slow-Flow Problems with 3/4 or 1/3 hp Submersibles

The 99 LD-2200 allows more flow than any other leak detector available. When the 99 LD-2200 is used with a 3/4 hp submersible and seven or more nozzles, pressure in the line may fall below the pressure necessary to keep the leak detector open. The same is true for 1/3 hp submersibles if 5 nozzles are available for fueling. Several factors influence leak detector reset besides available nozzles, including: burial depth, pipe size and the pump/motor performance. If your 99 LD-2200 line leak detector is resetting when most or all the nozzles are open, the Vmι 99 LD-2200\75 will compensate for pressure drop at the leak detector. The 99 LD-2200\75 meets all specifications of the 99 LD-2200 and is covered by the third party certification of the 99 LD-2200 as there is no change in function except flow. The hex portion of the 99 LD-2200\75 is painted green.

 NOTE: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING

 

The 99 LD-2200 is the best value in leak detection available in its price range. The One-Way Poppet and other enhancements provide superior line leak detection performance. With the technical enhancements outlined, this leak detector has significantly enhanced capability to dampen the effects of hydraulic shock and pump turbulence.

 

THIS LEAK DETECTOR, DESPITE ALL ENHANCEMENTS DESCRIBED, is dependent on the proper operation and function of the pump check valve and components of the functional element of the submersible pump.

 

A leaking check valve, a defective submersible pressure relief or defective bypass valve allows product to leave the line, reduce line pressure, resetting the leak detector. Line pressure loss and/or thermal contraction will cause vapor pockets to form. This increases the length of time it takes for the leak detector to open to full flow.

 

THE 99 LD-2000 IS THE ONLY 2" LEAK DETECTOR ON THE MARKET CAPABLE OF HOLDING LINE PRESSURE AFTER THE PUMP IS OFF, WITH THE ABOVE DESCRIBED FIELD PROBLEMS.

 

THE 99 LD-2000 HAS A HIGHER LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OVER A BROADER RANGE OF BURIAL DEPTH, LINE LENGTH AND TYPE. IF SITE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS OCCUR, THE 99 LD-2000 SHOULD BE INSTALLED.
