Welcome to the forefront of cutting-edge predictive maintenance with our acoustic imaging services. In recent years, the field of acoustic imaging has witnessed a surge in importance, emerging as a pivotal tool for anticipating and addressing potential issues in industrial settings.
Even in noisy environments, acoustic imaging enables the inaudible ultrasonic sound associated with both pressurised air leaks and High Voltage Partial Discharge to be located and overlayed in real time on a digital camera image. This presents excellent benefits for the safe and efficient maintenance and operation of compressed air systems and High Voltage systems.
- Partial Discharge (PD) on High Voltage Equipment: Red Current’s PD inspection surveys combine the use of acoustic imaging with thermography to provide a comprehensive overview of equipment performance, enabling early detection and continuous monitoring of PD issues.
- Compressed Air Systems: Pipework and associated equipment can be non-intrusively inspected for the presence of leaks together with quantifying potential energy savings following repair. Following all inspections, a clear and comprehensive report is provided detailing the exact locations of all leaks identified together with projected potential energy cost savings.
All inspections are carried out during normal working operations causing no disruption to production activities. Find out more below regarding Red Current's Acoustic Imaging Surveys.
Acoustic Imaging for High Voltage Systems
Acoustic imaging surveys on HV electrical equipment can help to identify Partial Discharge issues long before failure. Our inspections combine the use of thermography and are often carried out in support of:
- Predictive maintenance activities
- Commissioning new switchgear
- General fault finding
Acoustic Imaging for Compressed Air Systems
Acoustic imaging surveys on compressed air systems enable leaks to be detected while the plant is running causing no interruption or downtime. Leak locations are reported visually enabling clear comprehensive reports:
- Each leak site is cost quantified enabling targeted remedial works
- Potential to identify £'000s in annual energy savings
