Leak Glow

Fabric Filter Leak Detection System

At Ionfiltra, we prioritize delivering new technologies that are both affordable and of exceptional quality. Traditional fabric filter leakage detection is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, but with the Leak Glow Fabric Filter Leak Detection System, maintenance of fabric filters has been revolutionized. This system offers ease of use and minimizes downtime, making it a preferred choice for maintenance engineers.

How It Works

The fluorescent powder in Leak Glow follows the gas path within the bag house. Where leakage occurs, gas escapes, carrying the powder with it. As the powder passes through the leakage points, it glows under UV light, easily pinpointing the location.

Key Benefits​

  • Quickly identifies leaks from bag damage, holes, tears, poor stitching, bad sealing, and housing issues.
  • Reduces downtime by locating leaks rapidly.
  • User-friendly and easy to operate.
  • Detects even the smallest leaks with micron-sized particles.

Procedure for Testing

  • Conduct the test ideally at night and ensure equipment shutdown to avoid loose dust.
  • Use approximately 1 kg of powder for every 200 m² filtration area.
  • Start the fan with a 35-45% damper opening, then gradually open to 100%.
  • Ensure purging is active.
  • Spray the powder into the inlet duct or through the hopper access door.
  • Use the special fluorescent lamp in the clean air plenum; leakages will glow, making them easy to spot.
  • Plug leaks, then repeat with a second color to confirm all issues are resolved.

Clean Environment, Preventive Maintenance

Using Leak Glow for proactive maintenance reduces emissions and keeps the environment dust-free. Early leak detection prevents minor issues from becoming major problems, ensuring a cleaner workspace.

Common Causes of Leakage in Fabric Filters:

  • Pinholes created by hot dust.
  • Fabric hardening from moisture exposure.
  • Cage burrs causing fabric tears.
  • Purging air erosion at the bag's top, especially without a fitted venturi.
  • Bottom abrasion due to improper gas distribution.
  • Tube sheet leaks from poor bag fitment or weld gaps.

Consequences of Unattended Leaks

Neglecting minor leaks leads to dust accumulation, coating of surrounding bags, and internal damage. A proactive approach with Bag Failure Charts and Log Books enables early detection, improving maintenance and extending bag life.

Check for Damage at the Top

  • Damaged or no venturi fitted
  • High cleaning pressure
  • Improper bag fitment
  • Leakage around tube sheet

Check for Damage in the Middle

  • Due to pin holes on account of hot gases
  • Cage burr
  • Poor stitching on seam which gets damaged during operation
  • Inadequate pinch between cage and bag

Check for Damage at the Bottom

  • Abrasion at bottom of bag dur to direct gas flow hitting the bags on account of improper gas distribution
  • Bow in tube sheet due to which all bags tend to come together from bottom resulting in abrasion.

Customization Options

We offer bespoke solutions tailored to your specific needs, whether for extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, or high-pressure systems. Our Products can be customized with various sealing arrangements, actuation methods, and materials to meet your application’s unique requirements.
