Heat Exchanger Leak Detector - Carryover Detection (Oil in Water)

04 Dec, 2012

Published over 13 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Measurement and testing.

Optek heat exchanger leak detectors can detect a pinhole leak in a heat exchanger plate allowing maintenance personnel the opportunity to correct the problem before a catastrophic break down occurs.

These sensors ensure that utility water is free from contamination so that water from heat exchanger condensate can now be re-used in the plant CIP pre-rinse cycle, boiler feed as well as environmental protection. This has proven to be an extremely beneficial process improvement, reducing plant water usage as well as reducing wastewater costs.

Benefits of using an optek heat exchanger leak detector:

  • Protect Equipment (Boilers, Filters)
  • Immediate Detection of Leakage or Carryover
  • Reduced Water Usage
  • Reduced Chemical Costs
  • Reduced Municipal Charges
  • Reduced Contamination Risks
  • Reduced Boiler & Heat Exchanger Downtime
