Can I detect problems in Thermal Expansion Valves (TXVs)?
• Yes, you can detect a faulty TXV in 10 minutes compared to spending an hour to detect it with the usual (superheat) techniques. • Can I use this technique on other valves? • Yes, any kind of valve. • Steam traps are valves, how can I inspect them? • Using the patented Touch Probe (any model) you touch the valve and hear if the steam trap is cycling, stuck open, or closed. • Should I inspect all steam traps in a system? • Yes. Each leaky trap can waste hundreds to thousands of dollars in energy costs per year. EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) estimates that facilities using steam may have leaks in 20-30% of the steam traps. • Can I detect condensate in a pipe? • We have the only ultrasonic leak detector on the market (the Tru Pointe 2100) that can detect sonic sound which is the sound condensate makes as it flows in a pipe. • What is the SoundBlaster? • The SoundBlaster is an ultrasound generator to help you find leaks when you cannot pressurize a space like a walk-in cooler o
