Applications - Leakage
Black light and fluorescent tracers
UV, combined with fluorescent tracers, can be used in a closed, fluid or gas based system to detect cracks and leaks in for example pipes, valves and filters. Fluorescent tracers are usually highly concentrated and in combination with high intensity UV-light or black light, only minor quantities are required.
Detecting leaks in water heating plants and refrigeration systems with black light
Preparing primary heat or primary cooling mediums with a fluorescent tracers makes it easy to detect even very small leakages as the leaking spot illuminates when exposed to high intensity UV-light ( black light ). The method also enables the user to easily decide which part is responsible for the leakage, the supplier (primary side) or the customer (secondary side).
Density control of filter systems with black light
When general filter leakage is detected in solid-fuel power plants, the Labino high intensity UV-light ( black light ) can be used to decide the exact location of the leakage. If the primary (contaminated) air is prepared with fluorescent pigments or fluorescent tracers, the leakage will appear as a luminous beam on the secondary (filtered) side. Using this method enables the inspector to change or repair the specific leaking part of the complete filter.
What makes the Labino® UV-Spotlight unbeatable?
- The long range and power of the UV-Spotlight or black light. No more need to climb ladders or darkening the inspection area.
- The portable, battery operated TrAc series are easy to carry around for on-site inspections. No need for mains power.
- The high UV intensity creates new possibilities for leak detection, such as inspection in normally lit areas, or even outdoors in daylight with maintained contrast-to-background and maximized probability of detection. Quality and safety is improved, time of inspection is reduced.
- Immediate start and restart – full power in approximately 5-15 seconds. You save time.
- Low heat generation and energy consumption (35 W output power). No need for cooling fans. Creates a pleasant work environment and reduces energy costs.
- Dust tight and temporary water jetting proof. Can be used in rough conditions, even outdoors (IP65 classified).
- CE-marked – according to electromagnetic compatibility and the low voltage directive. Safe.
- ETL/cETL approved – by Edison Testing Laboratories, according to UL and CSA standards. Safe.
- Semko approved. Meets high safety standards.
- Comprehensive product range of black light lamps including different mains, voltages and portable, battery operated units with a choice of handles. Flexible.
