In industrialised countries, around 10 % of total industrial electricity consumption is used for compressed air generation, in Germany the figure is as high as 14 %. Leakages are the main factor for energy losses and most compressed air systems have losses in the range of about 20 % to 40 %, in poor systems even more than 60 %. Eliminating compressed air leaks is the most effective way to reduce energy consumption. Compressed air leaks often waste 8760 hours (24 h x 365 d) of energy per year and increase compressor run times, which also shortens maintenance intervals. It is therefore a must to regularly detect and eliminate leakages. Our LD series offers you all the functions you need to detect leakages and measure the consequences in terms of energy consumption and wasted money.
Typical applications of our measuring devices in this area are leak detection in compressed air systems and leak testing of unpressurised systems.

uses 30 MEMS microphones for the Calculation and visualisation of the ultrasound image. The device also makes inaudible ultrasound audible.
In addition to reliable Leak detection, our starter set for Leak detection also enables Leak calculation and reporting in accordance with ISO 50001 thanks to the integrated camera and the included accessories.
Leak detector for Compressed air, Gases and Vacuum systems. Optionally as a single device or in a Case set
The CS Leak Reporter Cloud solution combines the functionalities of the CS Leak Reporter V2 with a browser-based cloud system.
Creation of detailed ISO 50001 reports. Provides an illustrated overview of the Leakages found and their savings potential.
Since 2006, we have been working with our users to develop innovative solutions for ultrasonic leak detection of gases under pressure. Our first device, the LD 300, made ultrasound audible in noisy environments for the first time. Through continuous feedback from the field, we have constantly optimised and further developed our devices.

Leakages are the Achilles heel of all compressed air and gas networks. According to various studies, Leak detection and the sealing of Leakages can save an average of around 30% of compressed air costs. Regular inspection and consistent elimination are therefore essential. Under certain conditions, the initial investment in Leakage measuring devices is also subsidised by BAFA (further information can be found in our news section).
Our Leakage measuring devices are typically used, for example, for Leak detection in Compressedair systems or as part of leak testing of unpressurised systems. The principle of the detection devices is based on ultrasonic leak detection. Our LD devices convert the inaudible ultrasonic waves generated by Compressed air leaks into audible sound, making them very easy for the user to localise.
