Leak detection to reduce energy consumption

Efficient leak detection

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

Ultrasonic leak detectors are an invaluable tool in this process. They use advanced ultrasonic sensors to detect the high-frequency sounds created by leaks, enabling precise localization. By using these detectors, maintenance teams can respond quickly, minimize energy loss and reduce operating costs. This technology is therefore an essential tool for optimizing the efficiency of compressed air systems.

Repairing compressed air leaks is the most effective way to reduce energy consumption. Compressed air leaks waste up to 8,760 hours of energy each year (24 hours x 365 days) and lead to increased compressor running times, which in turn shortens maintenance intervals. For this reason, it is essential to regularly detect and eliminate leaks.

Our LD series offers you all the necessary functions to efficiently detect leaks and measure the resulting consequences in the form of energy consumption and financial losses. The devices are ideal for leak detection in compressed air systems and for leak testing of non-pressurized systems.
