Detecting and Managing Hydraulic Leaks
It is estimated that, in North America alone, a hydraulic leak producing a single drop of fluid per second equates to 420 gallons over the span of a 12-month period. That means over 100 million gallons of fluid could potentially be salvaged each year if hydraulic leaks could be prevented.
Picture this ...throughout the United States there are collectively 100 million gallons of hydraulic oil being used by various plants and facilities. Assuming that the average cost per gallon of oil is $5.00, and if half of the 100 million gallons were lost ... the replacement cost would be over $250 million dollars!
Leak prevention, the benefits are many.
-
In the United States alone, the average plant uses roughly four times more oil than their machinery can actually hold in a single year.
-
Studies show that residue from hydraulic leaks wind up in rivers, lakes, and ground water leaving a staggering effect on the environment and hefty fines from the E.P.A.
-
Managing hydraulic system leakage reduces energy consumption and waste, in turn improving the reliability of the equipment and overall profits of the facility.
-
Designed to detect large, catastrophic leaks, signal an operator warning and shut down the system if slow leaks are detected.
