Our Ultrasonic Air Leak Detection Service Explained
Ultrasonic leak detection involves using high-frequency energetic pulses to identify any leakages in the air compressor. When compressed air escapes through a leak, it creates turbulence that generates high-frequency ultrasonic sound.
An ultrasonic leak detector picks up these frequencies and converts them into audible or visual signals, allowing an engineer to locate the source of the leak accurately. Air compressors don’t run efficiently with leaks in the system. Griffin Air Systems will help you identify these areas and resolve any issues.
Reduce Your Air System’s Energy Consumption
Compressed air systems can be costly to a business, particularly when they aren’t working optimally. Ultrasonic leak detection can reduce the energy consumption of your air compressor by an average of 31%. Our air leak detection service will help to identify any faults in the system so we can carry out repairs and make necessary improvements, saving you money in the long run.
Signs Your System May Have a Leak
You may benefit from a professional compressed air leak detection survey if you have noticed:
- Rising energy costs without a clear increase in production
- A compressor running more frequently or for longer periods
- Difficulty maintaining consistent system pressure
- Hissing sounds around pipework or equipment
- Reduced performance from pneumatic machinery
- Increased wear on your air compressor
- Unexplained drops in compressed air efficiency
How Compressed Air Leak Detection Works
Our technicians use specialist sensors to detect the high-frequency sound waves generated by leaking air. These frequencies are typically beyond human hearing but can be picked up and translated into clear visual signals using our state-of-the-art air leak detection equipment.
Our Survey Process
- Initial system review
- Full ultrasonic scan using professional-grade equipment
- Digital logging of leak points and severity
- Clear report with photos, locations, and estimated energy loss
- Recommendations for repairs and cost recovery
You can combine this service with our air compressor servicing and maintenance plans for long-term system efficiency.
Common Sources of Air Leaks We Identify
