Oxygen Leak Detection

Leaks in oxygen systems can compromise safety and efficiency. They lead to oxygen loss, increase energy costs, and reduce process efficiency. Regular leak detection ensures the safe and efficient operation of the system, prevents potential risks, and eliminates energy waste.

Leaks in oxygen systems can reduce system efficiency and pose safety risks. Escaping oxygen can increase operational costs and lead to unwanted incidents. Regular leak detection ensures that oxygen systems operate safely and efficiently, enhancing both safety and energy efficiency.

Inspections carried out by expert teams are essential for detecting leaks in oxygen systems. Since oxygen is a gas that must be monitored with high precision, leaks can grow rapidly and lead to serious consequences. Periodic leak detection helps ensure uninterrupted system performance and minimizes operational downtime.

Oxygen Leak Detection: Application Steps

The detection and management of oxygen leaks is a critical process for improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs. Performing leak detection on a regular basis helps optimize system performance and minimize energy losses. Accordingly, the oxygen leak detection process consists of the following key steps:

1. Preliminary Preparation and System Analysis
Before starting the process, detailed information is collected about your facility’s pneumatic systems, connection components, and equipment density. Based on this analysis, the required working time is determined and the most suitable detection method is selected. Possible methods include air leak detection, thermal imaging, and steam trap analysis.

2. Leak Detection Process
Within the scheduled timeframe, oxygen lines are thoroughly inspected using Synergys Technologies brand LKS1000 series devices. Leak points are precisely identified using ultrasonic measurement, sound analysis, and temperature variation methods. Detected leak points are photographed, documented, and appropriately labeled.

3. Reporting and Solution Recommendations
A detailed report of the detected leaks is prepared and presented to you. This report includes:
• Prioritization of leak points
• Section-based and equipment-based analyses
• Graphical representations, cost estimates, and air loss calculations
In addition, improvement and solution recommendations by our engineers are shared within the report.

4. Overall Performance Evaluation
All components of the system are reviewed to evaluate the impact of leaks on energy efficiency. Based on the collected data, a comprehensive analysis of the system’s overall condition is provided.

5. Periodic Monitoring and Continuity
Leak detection should not be considered a one-time procedure but should be conducted regularly. Depending on the number of air lines and the leak rate in your facility, this service should be repeated every 4 to 6 months. This ensures the healthy operation of oxygen lines and effective management of energy-saving processes.

Through this process, the efficiency of your compressed air systems is continuously monitored, and your facility’s energy costs are optimized.

Why Is Oxygen Leak Detection Important?

Leaks in oxygen systems can lead to both safety risks and efficiency losses. Oxygen is a gas that must be monitored with high precision, and leaks can escalate quickly. They can cause a drop in oxygen pressure, negatively impacting system performance.

When regular leak detection is not performed, undetected leaks in the oxygen system may grow over time. This reduces operational efficiency and poses serious safety hazards. Leaks also lead to unnecessary strain on the system due to improper functioning, shortening equipment lifespan and causing unplanned downtime.

Periodic leak detection ensures the efficient operation of the oxygen system, optimizes energy consumption, and reduces operating costs. A system with identified leaks can operate safely and prevent interruptions in critical processes.

Regular inspections by expert teams detect potential leaks early, preventing major breakdowns and high repair costs. For this reason, not neglecting oxygen leak detection provides long-term reliability and cost benefits for your facility.
