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. Compressed air leaks often waste energy 8760 hours (24 h x 365 d) a year and increase compressor run times, which also shortens maintenance intervals. Therefore, it is a must to detect and eliminate leakages frequently. Our LD-Series will give you all the function needed to detect leakages and measure the consequences in terms of energy consumption and wasted money.
Typical applications of our measuring instruments in this section are leakage detection in compressed air systems and leak testing of unpressurized systems.
Visual representation of the leakage in the live image and makes inaudible ultrasound audible.
Due to the integrated camera and the available accessories our starter kit for leak detection enables reliable leak detection as well as compressed air leakage calculation and reporting according to ISO 50001.
The CS Leak Reporter Cloud Solution combines the functionalities of the CS Leak Reporter V2 with a browser-based cloud system.
For detailed ISO 50001 reports. Gives an illustrated overview on the detected leaks and possible savings.
Leak detector for compressed air, gas and vacuum systems. Optionally as a single device or in a case set.
While LD 400 is reliable in detecting leaks the LD500 is also able to calculate the costs those leaks will cause over time. The user gets a review about the actual state of the tested system and about the estimated potential cost savings. If you are not sure which instrument is for you please contact our experts. We help you to find the leak detection device that fits the application needs in your compressed air or gas environment.
The following table gives you an idea of how much the actual potential savings are that you can realize by detecting leaks in compressed air systems.
