konfAir supplies leak detection products to distributors, plant manufacturers and service companies working with industrial filtration systems. Leak detection is used to quickly identify leaks so that problems can be addressed precisely and unnecessary replacement of filter bags can be avoided.
During the test, fluorescent leak detection powder is added to the filter. If there is a leak, the powder passes through to the clean-air side, where it can be located using a UV lamp. The method can be used both when emissions from existing systems are suspected and for checking new installations.
For optimal leak detection, the leak detection powder is added directly into the intake of the filter and then settles as a fine, thin layer all over the dust side. The powder has an average particle size of approximately 4 µm and can pass through from the dust side to the clean air side at any leak. After repairing a leak, we recommend that you perform a second powder test. In this second leak detection test, it is advisable to use a different powder color, in order to be able to distinguish between tests 1 and 2.
For leak detection, konfAir offers 2 different UV lamps - a compact pocket version and a larger model with enough light intensity to scan even the largest filter plant. In addition, we offer fluorescent powder in the colors green, yellow and pink, packed in 4 kg buckets, so they are easy to handle. With its very fine particle size, the powder has an extremely high performance. It has a high viscosity and is heat-stable up to 300 degrees.
