Abstract
The leak detection device using hydrogen as a tracer gas is intended to be connected to an object to be tested. The leak detection device includes a hydrogen sensor placed in a low-pressure enclosure and includes a diode, a resistor, a MOS-type transistor whose gate is covered with a palladium catalyst, a pump connected to the low-pressure enclosure, a pressure gauge configured to measure the pressure in a vacuum line formed by the low-pressure enclosure connected to the pump, and a multiway valve having a first port allowing admission of the gas flow containing the tracer gas into the vacuum line, and a second port allowing the admission of neutral gas. The method makes it possible to stabilize the pressure of the vacuum line in order to avoid fluctuations in the hydrogen measurements.
