Air leakage treatment of air pipeline for daily air compressor maintenance

Daily air compressor maintenance prompts you: when your air compressor is insufficient for normal production and use, it may be caused by air leakage in the pipeline. The valve is not closed properly, the connection is poor, and the tiny crack in the pipeline... These are just a few places where compressed air can sneak out of your system.

Want not to despair? Want to save money? It is a good way to save money to solve air leakage in air compressor maintenance, but how do you know if your facilities have air leakage? There are several warning signs to note:

You can hear "it"

When you walk through your system, a lot of air leaks will be heard. Take the time and walk through your system regularly to make sure that large leaks do not cost you money.

2. Compressed air will be lost even if compressed air is not used.

If you use compressed air, you may leak even if your end use is not. When compressed air is not used, only filling the leakage is also lost. If this happens, you may have many small leaks leading to your air loss.

3. You have experienced unusual stress loss

Has your system pressure dropped? Does your compressor work harder to provide the same pressure and air flow as previously provided? Well, that could be a leak. Again, this may be a combination of multiple smaller leaks that can be superimposed.

4. Your pipeline system shall be at least 5 years old

Over the past five years, the leakage rate of the pipeline system has reached 25%. If your pipe is old, consider upgrading to a new aluminum system that is easy to install.

Operators may notice these symptoms and attribute them to poor compressor performance, but leakage is the most likely culprit. Ultrasonic leak detection is required because most leaks cannot be heard without help. By locating and repairing small leakage, the facility can save tens of thousands of yuan per year. Plan a compressed air audit to end the leak and start saving money!
