HIKMICRO AI Acoustic Imager boosting industrial efficiency

The HIKMICRO AI Series Acoustic Imager leverages advanced acoustic imaging technology to quickly and accurately detect compressed air leaks. Equipped with state-of-the-art acoustic sensors, the device can identify leaks from distances up to 150 meters.

In modern industries, compressed air is crucial as an energy source across various sectors including power generation, oil and gas, automotive, food, steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper and cement. Predictive maintenance of equipment using compressed gases is essential to ensure operational efficiency and safety. However, leaks in compressed air systems, often caused by ageing infrastructure, loose fittings or other mechanical issues, are common and can lead to significant energy waste and operational disruptions.

Compressed Air Leaks

Industry studies suggest that leaks in compressed air systems can account for up to 30 percent of energy waste. Compressed air leaks are often harder to detect than other types of gas leaks because they do not produce noticeable smells or colours. However, undetected leaks over time can significantly impact operational costs.

HIKMICRO AI Series

The HIKMICRO AI Series Acoustic Imager leverages advanced acoustic imaging technology to quickly and accurately detect compressed air leaks. Equipped with state-of-the-art acoustic sensors, the device can identify leaks from distances up to 150 meters. Compared to traditional detection methods, such as soap bubble testing or ultrasonic detection, the HIKMICRO AI Series is more efficient and provides more stable results in complex industrial environments.

Another notable advantage of the HIKMICRO AI Series is its intelligent features. The device can record images and videos in real-time and automatically identify and mark leak points. This greatly reduces the potential for human error and increases detection accuracy.

A large manufacturing company used the HIKMICRO AI Series Acoustic Imager to inspect its compressed air system comprehensively. The results revealed various leaks in multiple air compressors, causing energy waste equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars annually. The company significantly reduced its energy consumption and maintenance costs by repairing these leaks. Users reported that the AI Series’ lightweight design, long battery life, and precise detection capabilities greatly facilitated daily maintenance tasks.

Conclusion

The HIKMICRO AI Series Acoustic Imager offers an efficient and precise solution for detecting compressed air leaks in industrial settings. Acoustic imaging technology helps companies reduce energy costs and improve equipment efficiency and safety. The HIKMICRO AI Series Acoustic Imager is a smart, economic decision for companies looking to optimise operations and minimise waste.
