Artic Drier – Acoustic Leak Imaging Detector, increases productivity and reduces compressed air wastage

THE all new SUTO iTEC S532 acoustic imaging detector, provides an effective way to locate the pressurised air and gas leaks as well as Partial Discharge (PD) in industrial high voltage environments. Using a large 4.3โ€ LCD touch screen, the results overlaying on a visual image locates leakage points fast.

Electrical Partial Discharge types

Corona discharge occurs on the sharp surface of a conductor surrounded by gas. It usually happens in electrical systems like high-voltage power lines, transformers, or electric motors

Floating discharge, one of arcing discharges, happens when the electrical current flows through the conducting path created by voltage difference between two conductors. It might occur in various situations, such as high-voltage power transmission systems, electrical switches, circuit breakers.

Surface discharge is when the electrical discharge travels along the surface of insulation. It is primarily caused by contamination and weather conditions like high humidity. It often occurs in high voltage equipment, such as transformers, cables, switchgear, and motors.

Particle discharge refers to the partial discharge of electrical energy that interacts with metallic particles and debris present in the electrical systems. It can result from loose particles or particles generated by mechanical wear, corrosion, or degradation of insulation materials.

Compressed air / gas leakage detection (LD) – the device detects and estimates real-time leak rates, leak cost, and leak level for reference. It takes photographs, records voice notes, logs the leak tag number and location. Report writing is easy and fast when using the LMS (leak Monitoring Software)

Air leaks can easily cost 30% of your compressed air production, imposing high power costs.

The use of Simultaneous C/air Monitoring – a compressed air system can be monitored, for flow, pressure and power it can even provide an overview of compressor efficiency (per compressor) which can then be evaluated and compared with the percentage of compressed air wasted to atmosphere in leaks.

Mobile air auditing Artic Driers offers a broad based air auditing service focused on compressed air (and gas) monitoring for air volume rates, pressure, power consumption, dewpoint, oil vapour carry over and particle counts. This is suitable for pipe lines from 15 mm to > 400 mm and compatible with most gases with pressures from vacuum to over โ‰ฅ40 bar G.

S532 Features:

  • Leak detection
    Real-time visualisation of compressed air leaks
  • Partial discharge detection
    Identify particle discharge on high voltage systems
  • High sensitivity
    64 MEMS microphones to locate even the smallest leak
  • Loss calculation
    Calculates air loss in L/min or local currency
  • Analysis and Reporting
    Export data to LMS for statistics and repair, generate leak report
  • Photograph leaking parts
    Built-in camera to photograph leak locations
  • Voice Recording
    Voice recorder for voice notes
  • Adjustable frequency range
    Wide frequency range from 0KHz to 96KHz
  • Distance detection
    100m ultra-long range detection

Auditing has an extremely fast payback time. Leak detection can be undertaken during normal business working hours .
