Reduction of compressed air costs made easy

Compressed air is an expensive but indispensable medium in industrial, automated production. Due to leakages, between 10% and 25% of the generated compressed air is lost. The production of 1 m³ of compressed air costs an average of 2 cents in Europe. Even the smallest leaks with only 16 liters / min cause annual costs of 152 euros. Finding and eliminating leaks therefore offers enormous saving potentials in every company using compressed air.

Until now, leak detectors have been used exclusively to detect the leaks, quantifying the leakage rate in litres / min was cumbersome and inaccurate.

With the new LD 500 Leak Detector, CS Instruments offers an affordable device which displays the leakage rate in liters / min (or cfm for US units) directly on the display of the leak detection device. In addition, the leak detector LD 500 calculates the resulting leakage costs in euros per year  (currency freely adjustable). This allows the user to decide on-site which compressed air leaks have to be repaired as quickly as possible due to the high losses and which leaks can rather be fixed on a lower priority.
