One of today’s greatest challenges for maintenance & reliability teams is to improve energy efficiency - high energy prices and global competition dictate a need to reduce energy waste and improve system efficiencies whenever possible. A major contributor to energy waste is leaks: both in compressed air systems and steam traps. Ultrasound inspection instruments can easily detect these leaks, leading to potential energy savings.
Detecting Compressed Air Leaks with Ultrasound
Contrary to what some might think, compressed air is not free. In fact, it is estimated that more than 50 % of all compressed air systems have energy efficiency problems that should be corrected. These losses can be quite costly. Around 30 % of all industrial compressed air is usually lost to leaks, resulting in huge losses. A leak that is just 1cm can cost a plant upwards of €15.000 per year if it goes undetected.
