Finding and repairing leaks in your compressed air system is an easy way to start saving money and improving your system’s efficiency. Even small leaks can quietly drain thousands of dollars from your bottom line each year. That’s where leak detection technology comes in.
If you’re looking to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and gain better visibility into your systems, installing a device like the Prosaris OL2 Ultrasonic Leak Detection Kit can be a game-changer.
What Is the OL2?
The OL2 is a smart ultrasonic sensor that pairs seamlessly with your tablet or smartphone to create a powerful, visual leak detection tool. Using the PROSARIS app, your mobile device is transformed into a premium ultrasonic detector capable of identifying:
- Compressed air and gas leaks
- Vacuum leaks
- Electrical integrity issues
Unlike traditional methods, the OL2 doesn’t just help you hear leaks—it helps you see, measure, and quantify them in real time.
Key Benefits of Installing a Leak Detection Device
- Immediate Energy Cost Savings
Leaks in compressed air systems are notoriously expensive. Many facilities lose up to 20–30% of their compressed air to leaks without realizing it.
With the OL2:
- Volume flow is calculated in real time
- Energy loss is displayed in kWh
- Financial impact (“Opp. $”) is always visible
This means your team can instantly understand the cost of each leak and prioritize repairs based on real ROI, not guesswork.
- Real-Time Data and Measurable ROI
One of the biggest challenges in maintenance is proving value. The OL2 solves that by providing:
- Live data tracking
- Recorded and exportable results
- Clear cost savings metrics
Your maintenance team can now show exactly how their efforts translate into dollars saved, helping justify repairs, upgrades, and future investments.
- Improved Preventive Maintenance Programs
Leak detection shouldn’t be a one-time activity—it should be part of a proactive maintenance strategy.
With the OL2 and PROSARIS app:
- Conduct routine audits and surveys
- Track recurring issues
- Build a data-driven maintenance schedule
This shifts your facility from reactive fixes to predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending equipment life, potentially savings thousands.
- Enhanced Safety and Reliability
Ultrasonic detection isn’t just about leaks; it also helps identify:
- Electrical discharge issues
- Failing components
- Early-stage equipment faults
By catching these problems early, you reduce the risk of equipment failure, unplanned downtime and potential safety hazards.
- Portability and Ease of Use
The OL2 turns your existing mobile device into a rugged, lightweight inspection tool. That means:
- No bulky equipment
- Easy deployment across teams
- Minimal training required
With heterodyned audio streamed directly to your headset, technicians can clearly hear ultrasonic signals (even in noisy industrial environments).
- Data Connectivity and Reporting
Modern facilities rely on data—and the OL2 delivers.
- Stream and record inspection data
- Export findings for reporting and analysis
- Integrate results into your maintenance workflow
This makes it easier to track performance over time and continuously improve system efficiency.
Turning Leak Detection Into a Profit Center
Leak detection is often seen as a maintenance task—but with the right tools, it becomes a measurable cost-saving initiative.
By equipping your team/facility with the OL2:
- Every leak found has a dollar value attached
- Every repair contributes to energy savings
- Every audit reinforces operational efficiency
It creates a culture where maintenance isn’t just fixing problems—it’s actively driving profitability!
Final Thoughts
Installing a leak detection device like the Prosaris OL2 isn’t just about finding leaks, it’s about gaining visibility, improving efficiency, and empowering your facility with real data.
If your facility hasn’t implemented a structured leak detection program yet, now is the time to start. Contact NCA Ltd. today to learn more about the Prosaris OL2 Leak Detection Kit and how it can save you money and improve your system’s efficiency!
