Sound investigation service

Energys Services now provides a carbon-cutting sound investigation service to identify compressed air or pressurised gas leaks.

A trained ESL technician uses a digital probe to listen to an organisation's pipework and machinery, identifying problems that may be costing the company money and adding to its carbon footprint.

The service allows organisations to find even the smallest compressed air, pressurised gas or vacuum leaks, and identify faulty valves and steam traps. According to the Carbon Trust, even a leak of 3mm diameter could cost more than £700/year in wasted energy; that figure is generally greater for gases.

The system can also be used to find out if bearings in machinery are under- or over-lubricated or nearing the end of their life.

Each ESL survey is followed up by a report, which identifies the costs of each problem and the remedial works that need to be undertaken.
