Compressed Air Leak Detection - FLIR SI124

This enables operations to quickly identify and repair them. This helps save energy and reduce safety risks. They can also measure leaks as small as 0.004 L/min so that users can prioritize repairs.

Built with 124 microphones, the Si124 produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud industrial environments. The acoustic image is transposed in real time. This transposition is placed on top of a digital camera picture. This allows you to pinpoint the exact source of the sound.  

What sets the Si124 further apart from other acoustic imaging cameras is our software. Field analysis and reporting can be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. 

Captured images are quickly uploaded over Wi-Fi. They are then analyzed immediately. 

This provides the user with detailed information such as the size and energy cost of a compressed air leak. It also provides partial discharge classification, severity assessment and corrective action. In addition, users get 8 GBs of storage and wireless data transfer capabilities, making sharing photos and data simple and efficient. 

The Si124 has a plugin. It allows users to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite. This suite can be used in the same way as the cloud viewer. The added benefit is that it can include thermal imaging and acoustic imaging in the same report. 

This dual-functionality improves maintenance decisions and saves time and cost of learning multiple software platforms. A regular maintenance routine with the FLIR Si124 can help facilities save money on utility bills. It can also delay the expense of installing new compressors. 

The Si124-LD is available for leak-detection applications. The Si124-PD is available for electric utility applications. Both models have a cordless battery option. View the models in the related products section below. 

Energy efficiency: Compressed air is an invaluable resource in various industries, but its production can be costly. Shockingly, studies reveal that a significant amount of compressed air is wasted due to leaks in the system. By detecting and promptly repairing these leaks, companies can improve their energy efficiency and reduce operating costs. 

Cost savings: Over time, compressed air leaks can lead to substantial financial losses. However, by identifying and fixing these leaks, businesses can achieve significant cost savings. Taking a proactive approach reduces the amount of compressed air created. This minimizes the wear and tear on the compressor system, leading to fewer maintenance and repair costs. 

Environmental impact: Leaks in compressed air systems contribute to unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions. By promptly detecting and repairing leaks, companies can reduce their carbon footprint and actively contribute to environmental sustainability efforts. 

System performance: Compressed air leaks can have a detrimental impact on the overall performance of a compressed air system. These leaks cause a drop in system pressure, leading to reduced equipment efficiency and productivity. By promptly detecting and fixing leaks, businesses can ensure that their compressed air systems operate optimally, maximizing productivity and output. 

Equipment lifespan: Excessive leaks put additional strain on compressors and associated equipment, leading to premature wear and tear. By swiftly identifying and repairing leaks, companies can extend the lifespan of their equipment. This approach reduces the frequency of replacements, resulting in lower capital expenses.  

Safety: Compressed air leaks pose hazards in the workplace. High-pressure air released from leaks can cause objects to move or become dislodged. This can lead to accidents or injuries. By proactively identifying and repairing leaks, businesses prioritize the safety of their employees and create a secure working environment.
