Compressed Air Leak Audit

You may lose up to 1500 kW per annum from a 1mm pin hole in a compressed air network operating at 7 barG.

Compressed Air is proving up being the most important utility at any industrial level for a very long time. The energy utilization for creating compressed air is amazingly high and one can’t stand to lose important energy through compressed air leakages and the poor showing of compressors.

Stopleakloss a service offering from Permaweld Pvt Ltd can recognize and measure the vast majority of the issues related to Compressed Air Network.

• Compressor Performance Study is completed utilizing a power analyzer where the power utilization of compressor at stacking and dumping stages are calculated.
• Free Air Delivery (FAD) test is performed utilizing an attractions velocity technique utilizing an anemometer to measure the rough free air delivered from the compressor.
• From the above observations, the Particular Energy Consumption of the compressor is measured which is the sign of how great a compressor is performing considering its age.
• Moisture is a common issue in compressed air network. The presence of moisture will cause issues like erosion and corrosion in pipelines. Effective moisture removal from air dryers, air receiver tanks is analyzed.
• The whole compressed air network is scanned utilizing an Ultrasound leak detector to pinpoint air leak points and label them dependent on severity like Big, Medium & Small.
• The total air leak volume from distinguished air leak points is measured and converted to equivalent energy loss.
• A detailed report is submitted with reasonable suggestions and ROI invested..

• Power Analyser – to measure the power consumption of the compressor.
• Anemometer – to measure the velocity of incoming air to the compressor.
• Ultrasound Leak Detector – to identify air leak points in a compressed air network.

• Power utilization pattern of the compressor during different load necessities.
• Free Air Delivered by the compressor.
• Specific Energy Utilization of the Compressor.
• Volumetric & Isothermal Efficiency of the compressor.
• Compressed air leak volume from total leak points and its comparable energy loss.
• Guidance on effective moisture removal and Air receiver tank measuring.

Conducting periodic compressed air leak audits and compressor performance studies will help to keep track of the energy consumption involved in the compressed air network and ensures to maintain a healthy and efficient compressed air system.
