Heat Exchangers - we can detect leaks to as low as 1ppm

Tracerco has been at the forefront of online leak detection for the last 50 years and can detect leaks to as low as 1ppm. If you have a leak, we can identify the specific exchanger where it's happening. We can identify which exchanger within a bank is leaking. The method is non-intrusive, accurate and provides real-time data. We use different tracer techniques for testing leaks in exchangers, depending on how small the potential leak is. We add a tracer into the exchanger and measure the signal intensity at the outlets. Here, some of the tracer is escaping at the blue outlet. The intensity measurement indicates a leak of 10%. We can also take a fluid sample for analysis at the outlet. This lets us detect smaller leaks of less than 0.5%.  And we can carry out a helium leak test while the exchanger is offline, to identify which outlet is leaking. This helps you save time and money by keeping maintenance targeted to where it’s needed.
