Does your Compressed Air System have a leak?
Leaks in the compressed air supply of your production are responsible for unintentional compressed air loss. This leads to higher energy consumption and thus, increasing your energy costs and CO2 emissions. As energy costs are increasing again, any help with reducing expenditure is always a bonus!
Air4u Limited can offer a Leak Detection Test to provide a written report in a clearly understood and actionable format.
With the METPOINT CID leak management system, we can find, log and cost air leaks, so you can prioritise remedial work required to reduce your energy cost. It operates without interupting plant operation, reaching system areas that are hard to access, and locates all air leaks. The leak detector uses ultrasound to find even distant leaks. To do this, we walk systematically along the compressed air lines and use headphones to hear whether we are approaching a leak.
The tester carries out an on-board analysis to pinpoint the exact source of the leak and the exact size of the leak, in litres/minute. Every leak found is tagged and logged. Each tag will carry an identification number, so that when you get the report, it is easy for you to see the location and severity of the leak. We can also take pictures of the leak to pinpoint it for accuracy.
The report will show the leak location, photographs and tag number, as well as useful information like the severity and cost of the leak.
If you have a schematic of your system available, such as a Written Scheme of Examination, it will make our work so much easier!
Best practice advice is that the percentage of compressed air lost to leakage should be less then 10% of your total compressed air production. We recommend that your system is checked for leaks at least once a year. This proactive approach should enable you to keep a tighter control on the system and potential energy wastage.
Air4u Limited can arrange for an experienced engineer to visit you site with our state-of-the-art METPOINT CID leak management system.
