Air Leak Detection in Southern California
Air leaks can cost your company thousands of dollars in wasted energy. At California Air Compressor Company, we can help you save by detecting a wide variety of leaks. The best method to detect leaks from your compressor is through ultrasonic acoustic detection. This system can recognize the high-frequency hissing sound associated with the air leaks and consist of directional microphones, amplifiers, and audio filters; and usually have either visual indicators or earphones to detect the leaks. In addition, we offer data logging services. This service helps identify compressed air efficiency, proper air compressor sizing for upgrading air systems, and accurate energy savings during a pre- and post-metered audit and system upgrade.
How can our compressed air assessments help?
- Better energy efficiency
- Reduce operational losses
- Lengthen the life of all system equipment by making it work more efficiently
- Reduce unnecessary compressor capacity
What kinds of industrial air compressor leaks exist?
Planned air leaks are designed into the industrial air compressor system, such as ones responsible for flowing, sparging, drying, and other applications used in production processes.
Unplanned air leaks are ones that can appear anywhere in the system and are an ongoing maintenance issue that should be addressed immediately when there is a noticeable pressure drop, and these can include the following areas:
- Disconnects or deteriorated hoses, tubes, fittings, and couplings
- Missing or deteriorated O-rings
- FRLs (filters, regulators, and lubricators)
- Missed or deteriorated welds
- Broken or missing pieces
- Control and shut-off valves
- Poorly maintained or malfunctioning point of use devices
- Thread sealants
- And many more
