Leak Detector For Compressed Air

BEKO Compressed Air Technologies Pvt Ltd, a joint venture with Beko Technologies GmbH, Germany, has launched a Leak Detector for compressed air, Metpoint® LKD. This detects every leak, precisely and quickly. Minor cause – major effect: small leaks can already make up a large part of the costs for compressed air. Leakage rates of 30 % are not a rarity. In times of rising energy prices, huge amounts of money are quickly ‘blown into the air’ in this manner. A remedy to this is the small and easily operable Metpoint® LKD leak detector. With this device, the leaks in the system can be detected within a short time. Therefore, short-notice pinpoint maintenance is possible. For this purpose, the Metpoint®LKD makes use of a physical property. Where compressed air escapes, friction of the gas molecules at the wall of the pipe work occurs. This friction produces a high-frequency inaudible ultrasound. This device detects the ultrasound, transforms it into an audible sound and indicates it optically. It operates with extreme reliability. As only those frequencies are detected which occur in the event of leakage, precise location of the leaks is ensured under all types of industrial noise conditions.
