Hear & Track Leaks in Harsh Environments
Shows exactly where compressed air leaks are on the screen and makes finding compressed air leaks much easier – even in harsh environments!
Special Features
- Shows you where the leak is on the screen
- Find leaks during production without interruption of plant operation
- very intuitive and no training required!
- let’s you hear where the compressed air leak is also on the headphones
- 5 LED’s and ambient light sensor for intelligent lighting in dark environments
- Leak estimation function (l/min or cfm) and (Cost per Year)
- Running time of 7 hours of the LD 500/ LD 510
- Lightest acoustic camera on the market with 600 gr
- can be connected to existing LD 500/ LD 510
How much energy can be saved?
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.
How is ultrasound made visible?
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.
Why is the LD500-510 the most ergonomic leak detector?
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.
Why finding compressed air leaks does not necessarily save energy?
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;
- where is the leak?
- what needs to be done to fix it?
- what are the estimated costs of each leak?
- image of a leak showing the leak element
What happens after the audit?
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.
Is the Ultrasound Camera compatible to my current LD 500/ LD 510?
The short answer: Yes! You will have to update the software of your LD and eventually; we will have to exchange the mainboard.
