Even the tiny air leak can aggravate the products and energy waste and loss of production time - with no compressed air tools and process cannot run for the normal operation of production line.
If there is no enough compressed air pressure equipment to run smoothly, it will lead to costly consequences.Leakage point in the system, the more compressor requires effort to equipment needed for the air, this is very bad for compressor.The increase in demand tools and process equipment facing the risk of insufficient compressed air.
Compressed air leakage will also increase the cost of energy.According to theThe U.S. department of energy (doe)Data, compressed air piping a 1/8 of an inch (3 mm) holes can cause additional costs up to $2500 a year.
Partners in the field of air leak detection
How to control in spite of being very busy toglance air leak?One of the leading heavy equipment manufacturers recently answered this question, they found a new partner in the field of air leak detection.
The manufacturer everyday use of compressed air flow of 51 to 74 cubic meters/min.The compressed air can be run on every production line, as many as 200 torque tools, as well as responsible for moving large half an inch thick steel plate and locate parts of the process equipment.What if the pipeline leak, it may affect the production and increase energy waste.Even if only a leak...
So when a fluke provide the company with its new test雷竞技appFluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager (& Imager), when the opportunity, they immediately accepted.Ii900 miniature ultrasensitive microphone array can detect within the range of human hearing and ultrasonic sound, and even more unique, it lets users see real voice.
"To be able to show the locations of the problem adds another dimension."The company's maintenance manager, said."You can determine which thread, joint or hose.Can accurately locating leakage points on the image is very exciting."
Ii900 can be 50 meters (164 feet) away to visual scanning of large areas, to speed up the factory of leak detection, and significantly reduce perform this task take the number of hours (compared to perform this task before).
"Sometimes, we can find in just a few hours and leakage repair 30 to 40."The manager said."In addition, we also can be used in the production time ii900, during the production of environmental noise is very big, but it will still be able to capture the 6 to 9 meters rafter layer leak."
In does not affect the production under the premise of leak scanning is the manufacturer has a huge advantage.The manager said: "before this, we never thought of air leakage detection in the production process, because we can't in order to find the potential leakage and close corridor and let people leave a certain area.""Now, we can stand on the sidelines scanning overhead air line, and the trolley and staff at the same time can also be in below the line.We will not affect their work, it is better for everyone."
