The Ultrasound Camera will let you find compressed air leaks much faster than traditional leak detectors, and this is how it works:

The Ultrasound Camera uses 32 digital mems, a camera, an FPGA, and a processor for calculating the ultrasound map. The used algorithmic is called beam forming and is based on the delay and sum function. Each pixel of the ultrasound map is calculated extremely fast and transmitted to the LD 500.

The Ultrasound Camera measures the ultrasound generated by compressed air, steam, gas, and vacuum leaks, as well as partial discharge on insulators, transformers, switchgear, high-voltage lines (corona effect). Ultrasound, which is inaudible to the human ear, is visualized on the display of the device and amplified and mixed into the audible sound frequency range by the LD 500 and.

Reduce your energy costs by fixing compressed air leaks and increase your profitability and sustainability with the help of the perfect interaction between the LD 500/510 and the associated software "CS Leak Reporter."

1. One-time parameterization of the leak detector LD 500 / LD 510 (operation hours and compressed air costs)

2. Finding and documenting all compressed air leaks – starting at the compressor station, following the pipe system to the point of use. Most leaks will be found at machine level.

Leaky couplings and hose clamps
Leaky screw connections and flange connections
Porous / defective hoses/ tubes
Porous / defective sealings of the tools and machines
Maintenance units, air guns, fittings

3. Exporting the data on a USB Stick

4. Importing the data into the software "CS Leak Reporter," processing the data and generating of automatic reports (PDF and CSV)

The CS Leak Reporter Cloud Solution combines the functionalities of the CS Leak Reporter V2 with a browser-based cloud system. Automated reports PDF (link to report) - or Excel report including CO2 emissions, energy costs per year and leak rate per leakage and as a sum Creation of LD 500 database (measuring point and fault description) via Leak Reporter Cloud solution Structured and clear data filing, e.g., one project per quarter: Q1 2021, Q2 2021, Q3 2021, Q4 2021. Adjustment of the made parameters in LD 500 via the project master data Each leakage can be edited individually Multiuser System - Advantages of the Cloud Solution No more installation required – login with username and password via browser, so you have access to your data anytime and anywhere and your IT department is not needed to install the software on your computer or to perform updates. One central database - Each user always accesses the current database, additionally the data security is higher due to automatic data backups Multiuser system - For each user you can individually define which data he/she has access to, and which functions he/she is allowed to use

In the graph shown, you can see the volume flow profile measured behind the compressed air receiver of a pharmaceutical company for about 10 days.

The green curve corresponds to the actual measured volume flow profile (moving average) and the red curve corresponds to the volume flow profile after the "simulated" leakage elimination.

As you can see, the entire curve shifts downward.

The mechanical interface of the Ultrasound Camera is identical to the conventional acoustic trumpet. Therefore, it can be connected similarly to previously purchased LD 500 / LD 510.

So that the LD 510 / LD 500 can communicate with the tool over a digital protocol, the main board needs to be “intelligent”. Leak detectors that were bought after August 2020 should be intelligent, units that were purchased before can get the hardware upgrade additionally.

Then only a software update is required – that the leak detectors can communicate and interpret the data of the Ultrasound Camera.

Details

Around 10% of total industrial electricity consumption is used for compressed air generation in industrialized countries, and in Germany the figure is as high as 14%. Leakages are the main factor for energy losses and most compressed air systems show losses in the range of about 20 % to 40 %, in bad systems even more than 60%. Fixing compressed air leaks is the most effective action for reducing the energy consumption.

The Ultrasound Camera will let you find compressed air leaks much faster than traditional leak detectors and makes to process much more intuitive and easier. This is how it works: The Ultrasound Camera uses 30 digital mems, an FPGA, and a processor for calculating the ultrasound map. The used algorithm is called beam forming. The LD 500 displays the overlayed image on the display to the user automatically.

Finding leaks is a recurring marathon and not a single sprint. Due to its light weight (600 grams) and long battery life (7 hours) the LD 500/ LD 510 was made for finding compressed air leaks the whole day. Also, the holster will support the user because the wight must not be carried the whole time and gives him/ her an additional free hand if needed.

To reduce the energy consumption the compressed air leaks must be also fixed. To prioritize and plan the repair – information must be stored right at the leak place. The LD stores

What are the estimated costs of each leak?

The generated data of an audit of sometimes several hundred leaks can be managed locally or online using the Leak Reporter Software. With just a few clicks, automatic leakage reports (PDF, CSV) can be generated showing all important information about each leak and a cover sheet with a general overview.

The short answer: Yes! You will have to update the software of your LD and eventually; we will have to exchange the mainboard.
