Compressed Air Leaks: Theory vs. Reality

Think that fixing air leaks is enough? It’s not – you need to address the root cause of most leaks or you may find that you’ve made the problem worse.

And what’s usually the root cause of compressed air leaks? The air compressor system.

In theory, fixing compressed air leaks should eliminate wasted air (and most importantly, energy). The reality is more complicated. Repairing leaks in your system will only eliminate waste if your compressor reacts the way it’s supposed to.

If not, fixing the leak can actually cause the system to:

  • Work harder
  • Use more energy
  • Cause unnecessary wear and tear on your equipment

Leak Reporting and Tagging

John Henry Foster Leak Report Data

Detailed leak reporting is imperative in any leak repair project. With complete visibility of each leak and a greater understanding of the effect they have on your system’s performance, you are better equipped to make informed decision. Each leak study conducted by John Henry Foster includes a report specifying: 

  • Cost per leak
  • Location
  • Description of leak
  • Image of leak complete with tag
Leak Study details

A detailed report is also beneficial when applying for incentives and rebates to cover costs associated leak studies. Many utility partner programs will cover the cost of the study, in its entirety, with thorough tagging and reporting.
