LDA: Is it worth it?

Hello.

I want to buy an LDA and I came across this.
I've never heard of that manufacturer before, and according to Google, they only produce kitchen equipment for the restaurant industry .

Does anyone have one of these or know more about it? And do you think this LDA is actually any good (it looks like a regular pressure gauge)?

This LCD has a diameter of 67 mm, which is not the common size of 52 mm. Brackets, stands, and displays with similar dimensions are likely to be difficult to find.

Hello,

Okay, the quality looks good. However, I don't see any use for the -1 bar setting.

'Furthermore, I think a damper is missing because otherwise the pointer will flutter.'
But that can be achieved by...

But if the price is right.

Hi,

The main question you can only answer yourself: Do you have space in your car where this item will fit?

All other parameters look good – I would only miss a finer scale division between 0 and 0.5.

Best regards,

January.

@Jan6K

Do you think a division of 0.1 bar is too coarse?

Or did you overlook the fact that it only appears as if there is no scale division between -0.5 and 0.5 due to a shadow?

I find it a bit suspicious.

He writes in big letters: 'no plastic parts,' but the T-connector is clearly made of plastic, which he can't deny. And the hose connection to the T-connector is secured with cable ties. What's the point of having hose clamps then?

I don't think it's sufficient for a system that operates with pressure and pressure fluctuations.

You could try replacing it; take a look at www.wassergekuehlt.de, they have something like that made of metal with a coupling nut, which should definitely hold.

Best regards, BigB.

The latter – one should really take a closer look at the images for more than just a fleeting moment.

"I think a resolution of 0.1 is sufficient, even though I appreciate that my digital LDA allows me to see fluctuations of around 20 mBar. However, a finer scale division wouldn't change anything in that regard; it would just make things less clear."

Best regards,

Hello,

The negative range is already quite good. It allows you to monitor the function of the shut-off valve.

Best regards, Georg.

... and to detect potential charger damage (of a specific origin) early on, preventing situations where you are completely at their mercy -> Expert article on LDA (Load Detection Analysis).

@everyone: Thank you for the responses.

Oh, sorry, I completely overlooked the unusual diameter of 67 mm in the heat of the moment (well, those who can read have a clear advantage ). The offer also includes a link to a video where you can't really see much, but in my opinion, the display doesn't seem to be flickering. Yesterday, that same vendor sold an LDA for 26 [currency unit].
It's a bit too big for me, because it would require some modifications to install it. Time will tell...
