Mikro-Charge™ Technology
Mikro-Charge™ LeakGauge
An easy to use, ultra reliable leak detector for baghouses, cartridge collectors, bin vents, and cyclones.
The Mikro-Charge LeakGauge does its job without the need for baseline data and without signal tuning. Simply apply power and the general condition of the filter is instantly indicated by the LeakGauge.
Operation
The Mikro-Charge Leakgauge features an easy to read display showing leak status:
- Low reading means there are no leaks.
- Midrange reading indicates developing leaks are present.
- High reading means the filter is leaking.
An alarm point can be set by moving an indicator up or down the gauge with a lockable keypad. For more detailed monitoring and precise alarm point control, the Leakgauge includes an absolute digital readout corresponding to the analog gauge.
To handle the very side signal variations caused by filter cleaning cycles and developing leaks, gauge scaling is logarithmic. The log scale enables monitoring both low baseline levels (cleaning cycle off) and high peak signals (cleaning cycle on). To take advantage of the fact that cleaning cycles amplify the existence of developing leaks, a peak-trac function is available to capture peak readings and detect leaks well before emissions are visible.
The informative operator interface combined with the field-proven reliability of Mikro-Charge technology, have made the LeakGauge the device of choice for basic leak detection. For advanced leak detection, locating leaks, and continuous mass monitoring, refer to our Mikro-Charge Continuous DustGauge.
Operating Principle
 The Mikro-Charge LeakGauge utilizes a combination of induction-sensing and protected-probe technologies. As dust particles escape a filter and flow near a probe placed downstream of the dust source, small signals are induced into the probe by particle electrons (charge). A digital signal processor converts the induced signal into an absolute output proportional to leakage. The probe's protective layer, in combination with induction sensing, ensures reliable operation even with condensate or conductive dust on the probe.
