Compressed Air Leak Detection Guide to Cut Energy Waste

Compressed air leaks are a common source of hidden energy waste. Finding and repairing them can lower your electricity bill and reduce load on the compressor.

Common Leak Points

Check fittings, couplings, hoses, valves, drains and old piping joints first. Even a small leak can waste a large amount of air over a full year.

Detection Methods

Listen for hissing during quiet periods, apply soapy water to suspected joints, or use an ultrasonic leak detector for a fast and accurate survey.

Prevention

Use quality fittings, schedule regular inspections, and keep piping pressure at the minimum required level to reduce leakage losses.
