Reduce leakage

But what is acceptable as a percentage? Many systems have more than 10% leakage – a significant amount when costed. The answer, according to BEKO, is to have scheduled ultrasonic leak testing on a basis that can be determined by results, i.e. how quickly after an exercise to reduce leaks do they start reappearing? If after a three month check there is little change then push the frequency out.

The company also asserts that, while a step up from the old converted steam traps, Solenoid drain traps for compressed air condensate are still are a source of wasted compressed air. The setting of the timer will nearly always be wrong and the setter will err on the side of caution and waste air rather than have a build-up of oily, acidic condensate.
