<p>A leak-sensing apparatus comprises a gas module (12), at least one liquid inlet module (14), a sensor module (16), and a base module (18) in fluid flow communication and air and liquid-tight attachment with one another. The gas module (12) comprises means (28) for accommodating a predetermined volume of gas and leaking liquid and means for ensuring the containment of gas and leaking liquid therein. Each liquid inlet module (14) comprises at least one liquid inlet port (52) for accommodating the passage of gases and leaking liquids from a fluid handling device to an internal chamber (46), and means (56) for ensuring one-way passage of gases and liquids into the apparatus. The sensor module (16) comprises a sensing chamber (76) and means for detecting the presence of leaking liquid therein. Air displaced by the entering gases and leaking liquids is vented from the apparatus to the atmosphere or routed to an air purification device while the entering gases and liquids are contained safely within, ensuring no release of potentially harmful chemical gases and liquids to the environment.</p> |
