2. Wire

The acoustic imaging camera excels in detecting subtle partial discharge in 110kV cables, ensuring early detection of potential issues. Its advanced technology facilitates swift identification of weak points, empowering proactive maintenance.

3. High Voltage Room Insulator

Safety reigns supreme within high-voltage chambers. The handheld acoustic imaging camera provides a secure solution, enabling the precise detection of anomalies in insulators and equipment while maintaining safe distances. By leveraging this tool, risks to personnel are mitigated, and reliable power distribution is ensured.

4. Switch Insulator

Surface discharge incidents often occur on the porcelain pillars of switch cabinets. Acoustic imaging camera empower inspection teams to swiftly and precisely evaluate component performance, promptly identifying hazards.

Application Scene: Power Distribution System

1. Tower Insulator

The acoustic imaging camera remotely identifies abnormal discharges from distribution line insulators, facilitating early detection. Its precision ensures proactive mitigation of potential issues, enhancing grid reliability and safety.

2. Cable Distribution Box

Complex T-joints and busbar connections with high impedance are susceptible to discharge. Our acoustic imaging cameras simplify the identification of partial discharge, enabling precise localization and facilitating proactive maintenance to maximize grid stability and safety.

3. Drop Fuse

Defective fuses threaten system stability. CRYSOUND acoustic imaging camera promptly pinpoints partial discharge, facilitating prompt response.

4. Support Insulator

Continuous partial discharge in insulators erodes insulation properties. The height of support insulators hinders routine inspections. The CRYSOUND acoustic imaging camera enables safe, remote assessment, ensuring insulator integrity anduninterrupted power flow.

Partial discharge silently jeopardizes the safety and reliability of electrical systems. Rapid and precise identification of fault areas through acoustic imaging cameras is imperative for accident prevention and upholding the integrity of power systems.

Quick and Safe Detection of Gas leaks in Hazardous Environments

In modern industrial production, gas leaks lead to resource wastage, and pose serious threats to employee safety and the environment. One of our clients in oil and gas industry reported that traditional leak detection methods can not accurately and efficiently locate leak points. Due to the hazardous environment, there are also potential safety issue for inspection personnel. At CRYSOUND, we understand the significance of this challenge and are here to provide valuable solution.

As we know, gas leaks often occur due to factors such as aging from prolonged use, corrosion, and improper installation, typically at equipment connection points like flanges and valves. Gas leaks should not be underestimated. Periodically inspection and maintenance can ensure the safety of production, enhance corporate image and market competitiveness.

For industrial production, quickly and accurately locating gas leaks is crucial. Providing assessments of leak volume and economic losses can serve as important references for corporate decision-making.

Our client successfully identified multiple leakage points at flanges and valves in the factory by actively using a handheld acoustic imaging camera. The handheld acoustic imaging camera provided assessments of leak volume and economic losses, allowing the client to selectively repair the leak points with larger leak volumes based on the evaluation data, thereby reducing losses in the factory.

How to Conduct Effective Noise Monitoring and Control

Monitoring and controlling noise are closely linked, with monitoring providing the means and control serving as the goal. Relying solely on monitoring has limited impact on improving acoustic environments. As an example, one of our customers discovered that conventional monitoring equipment alone was inadequate for pinpointing the noise source. The tendency for nearby noise sources to evade detection hampered effective control measures. The customer needed a solution for tracing noise sources, requiring detailed information on noise exceedance events to identify and manage the source and type of noise effectively.

To address this, we created a targeted solution by incorporating noise localization devices and pan-tilt cameras. This enhanced monitoring platform combines directional data with video footage, providing a comprehensive view of noise exceedance incidents.

The noise localization devices accurately locate the noise in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. Through further processing, they associate the intensity and spatial distribution of the noise over time. This enables the relevant personnel to trace the noise at key historical time periods and its corresponding directional information, significantly improving work efficiency.

In addition, the cameras and tracing devices are interconnected. When noise exceeds the limits, the cameras can perform corresponding actions to track the noise source based on the directional information provided by the localization devices, while preserving relevant video recordings.

How to Address Partial Discharge in Generators

Partial discharge is a phenomenon that cannot be completely eliminated from high-voltage motors and generators. However, it is crucial to closely monitor and address partial discharge, as it can impact the performance of insulating materials.

In the power industry, inspectors rely on observing the working status and performance of motors by studying the trend of partial discharge intensity in the generator.

If the intensity of partial discharge in the generator shows an upward trend, it indicates a potential issue within the generator. At this point, it becomes necessary to analyze the underlying cause of this phenomenon and conduct a thorough examination of the motor’s functionality.

By taking proactive measures to address partial discharge, our clients can ensure the reliability and longevity of their generator systems. CRYSOUND’s Acoustic Imager has proven to be an effective tool in detecting suspension discharge and surface discharge, assisting our clients in identifying and resolving potential problems early on.

The CRYSOUND Acoustic Imager enables inspectors to analyze the intensity of partial discharge in the generator and closely monitor the functionality of the motors, thereby ensuring the safety of the environment.

If you are facing similar challenges or have any questions related to partial discharge in generators, feel free to reach out to our team at CRYSOUND. We are here to provide expert guidance and support every step of the way. Contact us.
