Compressed air leak detection and cost calculation with the SoundCam Ultra 3

With the SoundCam Ultra 3, compressed air, gas, vacuum leaks and partial discharges can be located quickly and analyzed in real-time. Condition-based monitoring, non-destructive testing, animal studies and general noise analysis extend the application possibilities. This is supported by the modes: Pro, Easy, Leakage and Partial Discharge. With 176 microphones and a sampling rate of 200 kHz, the SoundCam Ultra 3 is leading in measurement sensitivity. The high sampling rate enables a wide frequency range from 2 kHz to 100 kHz for more sensitive detection and better noise suppression. The results are shown on the display in real-time at 100 acoustic images per second. Thanks to the high frame rate of the acoustic video, transient sounds can be detected and it is easy to distinguish between transient and stationary sounds. The video camera also has a high frame rate and a global shutter to reproduce fast-moving objects or rapid movements accurately. The high frame rate and the synchronization between the acoustic and optical video ensure high analysis accuracy. The integrated thermal imaging camera enables the parallel evaluation of acoustic and thermal images for a more comprehensive analysis of events. The Ultra 3 enables pinpoint monitoring and makes ultrasound audible through frequency modulation.

The LeakReport automatically generates a comprehensive, clearly structured report in just three steps. Select measurement data Start analysis Create report The report generated can be used by the energy manager for documentation in energy management and by the maintenance engineer for repairs. It quickly provides a very good overview of the leaks found, the loss and the potential savings.

The exported PDF report is structured. The title page shows the header data. The following page provides an overview of the leaks and their severity. The savings and potential savings are also shown. Finally, all leakages are listed in tabular form and in a detailed view. Throughout the document, the priority of the leaks is highlighted in colour according to their severity. The report makes it possible to efficiently plan the repair routine for the compressed air leaks.
