Detecting the ultrasound generated by compressed air leaks remains the most reliable and least expensive method of identifying them.
LOCATOR is a compact detector and can be used by all maintenance personnel without special training. Simply point LOCATOR at the air - or vacuum - system, particularly at fittings and accessories, and pull the trigger.
"Half of the network diagnostics revealed a leakage rate of over 40% of consumption" (Source: ADEME)
Leaks are detected and signalled visibly (10 LED bar) and audibly via the supplied headphones. Ideally, a leak hunt should be carried out once a year. The use of a leakage inventory table helps to identify sensitive areas and improves the efficiency of the leakage hunt. Reducing the leakage rate by 10% saves the same amount of electricity associated with the production of this compressed air.
LOCATOR is a product with great potential for sale or as a service for your customers!
At a pressure of 7 bars, a 1 mm leak currently represents an energy loss of more than 1000 $ / year!
