Diagnostics system for tracing leaks from a gas-supply system and for checking operation of the valves forming part of said system

摘要

In a gas-supply system for supplying a generic engine of a vehicle type, comprising electronic control means for controlling delivery devices associated to various engines, said electronic control means are programmed for processing the data regarding the low-pressure part of the system according to a predetermined algorithm, at predefined instants, in order to enable timely detection of incorrect functioning of a solenoid valve (8) set in a position corresponding to a pressure-reducing device (7) set between the gas tank (3) and a manifold (1) for distribution of the gas to the delivery devices. The system is moreover able to detect possible gas leaks from the low-pressure part of the system. The electronic control means (10) are moreover able to process the data regarding the high-pressure part of the system, according to a predetermined algorithm, during operation of the system in order to enable timely detection of incorrect functioning of the valve (8) set immediately at the outlet of the tank or to detect a possible gas leak from the high-pressure part of the system.
