Leak Detection
Reduce energy costs, ensure operational reliability, and lower your carbon footprint with Hydroscand's compressed air system leak detection. To decrease your climate impact while improving cost efficiency, focus on the compressor system and its pneumatic lines connected to the machines.
On an average compressor system, around 30% of the compressed air is lost due to leaks, resulting in significant energy losses and high costs. Through proactive leak detection, Hydroscand can help you in the industrial and workshop sectors minimize downtime, reduce energy costs, and promote sustainable operations. We offer preventive maintenance by detecting leaks in your pneumatic systems and developing an action plan to boost your competitiveness.
What is compressed air leakage?
Compressed air leakage occurs due to wear and tear, aged materials, loose connections, cracks, or faulty seals. It is a common issue that leads to reduced performance, increased energy consumption, and high costs. To manage this, regular inspections and maintenance are required, including repairing defective components and using seals to prevent leakage.
Benefits of compressed air leak detection
Ensure operational reliability
Immediately detect serious compressed air leaks and faults.
Avoid unplanned downtime and ensure continuous production.
Reduced operating costs
Reduce energy consumption.
Optimize compressed air production to extend compressor lifespan.
Even small compressed air leaks eventually lead to significant costs. Small leaks can often be fixed immediately, minimizing costs right at the time of measurement.
Minimized environmental impact – an important component in the sustainability report
Reduce your climate footprint by fixing compressed air leaks.
A step towards more sustainable production that supports compliance with requirements and environmental certifications. Measures can be reported as environmental improvements within standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
Reduced downtime during maintenance
Planned maintenance work minimizes downtime.
Operations continue partially while measurements and actions are performed. Downtime is then minimal and occurs at the most optimal time for operations.
How is a leak detection of compressed air systems carried out?
Preparations
A leak detection of compressed air systems always begins with a joint review of the conditions. How many compressors are there and what is their condition? What working pressure does the compressor deliver? What is the energy price? Then we conduct a risk analysis of the work. Our service technicians are certified to work in all conceivable environments.
Implementation
The equipment Hydroscand uses is highly technologically advanced. We use the CS Instruments leakage detector LD 510 with a unique funnel and integrated camera. The funnel, characteristic of the CS Ultracam LD 510, together with its 30 digital MEMS microphones, identifies even the smallest compressed air leak. We locate and fix leaks at the machine level. Leak detection can be integrated with energy optimization for maximum effect.
Summary of results
After the leak detection, you will receive a detailed report according to ISO 50001, including the exact costs caused by the compressed air leakage and recommended actions. A quote linked to the action plan is provided upon request.
