Although Skara Energi among Sweden’s lowest water win disappear still water to around one million per year.
An unnecessary expense that largely depends on old systems that have been difficult to locate small water leaks.
– It is something that most companies have problems and often have to dig large hole to find the leak, explains Martin.
trying new technology
the problem can, however, soon be a thing of the past and in cooperation with the company Widenco try Skara Energi to dig a new sensor systems.
by attaching a sensor cable on the line, and then at each joint fitted with an insulated connector, the hopes that it will be faster to find the leaks.
water supply in Linnégatan is the first in Sweden to test the system according to Jan Eriksson, Wideco, to locate a water leak within one meter on a line that stretches two kilometers.
– We have previously tried the system in different labs, but now we want to see the full feature in the field, he said.
Wideco has over 30 years of experience with leaks, but their focus has previously been on district heating.
– We got the idea a few years ago after a trade show and realized that there is also need for water.
wait for leakage
to conduct field test does not cost Skara Energi anything except the labor force and the new system will be in several years and waiting for a possible leak, but now seems to test have yielded results.
– We have begun to think in new ways and in the long term hopes that we are simple ways to be able to find any water leaks, says Martin.
