The easiest and fastest way to save money and energy
On average , 30 % of energy in industrial compressed air systems is wasted due to leaks . This not only causes unnecessary energy waste , but also contributes to a lower plant operational reliability . Therefore , improving energy efficiency in compressed air systems is an important issue in all areas of manufacturing and process technology , as compressed air is one of the most expensive energy resources .
Ultrasound is a proven technology for air leak detection which helps to avoid additional costs associated with misdiagnosed equipment failures and unplanned downtime . Detecting air leaks and repairing or replacing defective equipment can result in significant savings and help companies meet their energy targets .
The ultrasonic testing devices SONAPHONE ® and SONASCREEN offer intuitive , precise and fast leak detection and help significantly cut costs and reduce CO 2 emissions .
SONAPHONE ®: The Powerful Ultrasonic Testing Device For Predictive Maintenance
The SONAPHONE ® is used in combination with a BS10 airborne sound sensor and a very intuitive “ LeakExpert ” software app to detect and evaluate leaks in compressed air systems . The broadband frequency of the SONAPHONE ® which is ranging from 20 to 100 kHz enables a quick and precise leak detection despite the industrial noises typical for manufacturing facilities . Graphical output of the test data is shown as a spectogram and leaks are displayed in litres per minute and cost per year . This information can be used to set priorities for repair . The integrated documentation functions enable modern broadband ultrasonic analysis and maintenance management . All relevant information about a leak is stored directly in

the SONAPHONE ® database . Your measurement data can be exported in pdf or csv format in just a few steps and integrated into your maintenance software .
SONASCREEN ®: Extend Your Senses
The new handheld acoustic camera SONASCREEN ® generates acoustic images from both the audible and ultrasound frequency range . The device with IP54 protection has integrated data acquisition . It locates sound sources in real time and displays the results immediately on the screen . Additionally , the camera provides audible feedback through industrial headphones . It makes ultrasound not only audible , but also visible as you can see the leaks directly on your display . The SONASCREEN ® enables fast leak detection in compressed air systems and helps to unlock energy saving opportunities . The device makes it possible to start the maintenance process without prior training , as it is very intuitive even for beginners . Thanks to the intuitive handling as well as pre-set setups , even inexperienced users can correctly evaluate the results at a glance .
