- The production of compressed air is expensive, a 1mm leak around a half inch pipe joint will not be heard without ultrasonic leak detection equipment, at 6 bar this leak will cost between £1050.00 and £1650.00 per annum with electricity costs of 25-30p per kwh. You will typically, have upwards of 70 hidden leaks.
- Leaks that can be heard tend to be fixed, those out of our hearing range leak 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
- A leak detector site survey is of great benefit to any company applying for or maintaining ISO14001, the environmental standard.
- Remember the climate change levy is a variable that is increasing electricity costs, even beyond those quoted.
- Once detected, leaks are predominantly quickly and inexpensively cured, they are mostly ground floor joints.
- By curing leaks you also reduce compressor on load running time, wear and tear on aftercoolers and driers and it is not unreasonable to find a compressor becoming surplus to requirements further to a site survey and subsequent fixes.
- This is the fastest, most effective cost saving exercise any plant can undertake, without exception.
- We at Pneumatics Northern can supply the most competitive leak detectors from stock in the UK today, and site surveys with just one weeks notice.
- Manufacturing industry in the UK needs fast, effective cost saving measures more than ever before, there is no better way to achieve this than a leak detection site survey for compressed air and gases.
