Assets emit a certain type of sound before they begin to break down. Often these sounds cannot be heard or identified in noisy environments like many manufacturing spaces. Compressed air may be inexpensive, but the power needed to run faulty systems is not. By catching leaks early, facility crews can prevent further energy waste and can schedule repairs rather than risk shutting down operations to replace an entire system.
Using an acoustic imager leads to improved energy efficiency and reduced costs, not only from repairs to compressed air and vacuum systems, but also related to expensive specialty gases that could be leaking during a production process. The FLIR Si124 Series of acoustic imaging cameras is able to detect sounds inaudible to the human ear and can calculate energy savings while still in the field.
In this webinar, David Mantey, Editorial Director at Industrial Equipment News and FLIR Global Business Development Manager, Rob Milner will discuss the advantages of using acoustic imaging camera technology for leak detection in manufacturing environments, and how to achieve rapid ROI.
