Leak detection to reduce energy consumption

Leak detectors - reliably identify compressed air and efficiency losses

Leak detection in compressed air systems is crucial for efficiency and cost savings. Leaks not only cause energy losses, but also significantly impair system performance. In industrialized countries, around 10 % of total industrial electricity consumption is used to generate compressed air; in Germany the figure is as high as 14 %. Leaks are a significant factor in energy loss, as many compressed air systems have losses of between 20 % and 40 %. In sub-optimal systems, losses can even exceed 60 %. 

Advantages of leakage elimination

Leaks can not only negatively affect systems and Negatively affect systems and pipes, increase maintenance and repair and repair costs and reduce their service life, but also cause imminently higher costs

Removing compressed air leaks is the most effective way to reduce energy consumption. Compressed air leaks waste up to 8,760 hours of energy per year (24 hours x 365 days) and lead to increased compressor running times, which in turn shortens maintenance intervals.
It is therefore essential to detect leaks regularly and eliminate them immediately.

Use of ultrasonic leakage detectors

Ultrasonic leak detectors are indispensable tools for efficient leak detection. They use sophisticated ultrasonic sensors to detect the high-frequency noise caused by leaks. This enables precise localization and rapid response by maintenance teams to minimize energy loss and reduce operating costs. This technology is therefore an important tool for optimizing the efficiency of compressed air systems.

Typically, leaks occur more frequently on components such as:

• Leaky connecting elements
• Defective or inadequately maintained supply lines
• Seals that are porous or already brittle  
• Filters and other components that are leaking and worn
• Condensate drain in poor condition
