Liquid Leak Detection
With the current trend towards office automation, the business environment is dependant on a whole range of technologies not even thought about 20 years ago, the paperless office has yet to appear as widely predicted 10 years ago but the Computer has.

Whilst not on every desk they are becoming prevalent in the office environment and so is the infrastructure to support them. Computer rooms, PABX, Network control rooms and Hubs are all common place and all need to be kept cool. One of the commonest ways to provide this cooling is to fit Air-conditioning, and the commonest medium to achieve this is by chilled water, the pipes which carry this water nearly always run within the rooms which house the equipment and quite often are out of sight. Obviously even a small leak in the wrong place within these area's can cause disruption and possible loss of data which in some circumstances could mean the end of business.

Protech Systems offer Liquid Leak Detection systems that monitor the environment where the pipework or machinery are located and give an alarm as soon as a leak is detected. We are unique in our industry because we are not tied to any one manufacturer. This gives you as the client the peace of mind in knowing that the equipment which is selected for your application fits your requirements exactly and is not merely the closest any single manufacturer could get. Because our core business is leak detection you can be assured that we know our business inside out and have the expertise in-house to process your enquiry and service your needs in the most cost effective and efficient manner.

We believe that we can directly measure our success and efficiency by the amount of repeat business we receive from our clients, many of whom have recognised the advantages of using a specialist company such as ourselves as opposed to other installers who treat leak detection as a sideline to trace heating. After all you wouldn't have your cars engine changed by a plumber, would you? Nor would you necessarily expect a manufacturer of electronic equipment to be competent to install it on a construction site.

Over the past 20 years we have built up a close working relationship with the manufacturers of these systems, all have there place in the marketplace, the following pages give more details on the applications and equipment which is available to you as an end user:

Zoned Systems
The most common Liquid Leak Detection systems in use today, they range from a single zoned system to 128 multiple zones. The systems versatility make them suitable for installation In almost all conditions allowing options of Sensing Cable, Probe, Pad, Float and Infra Red detection mediums to be employed to suite the site's conditions. They are extremely cost effective for the smaller installation and very adaptable.

Location Systems
Often referred to as longline systems. These are generally a single circuit consisting of one cable or bus. They employ sophisticated software and electronics that enables them to calculate the location of the contact of a liquid to a sensor. This is normally expressed as a distance from the panel in either feet or metres and relies on an accurate map or drawing of the system to find the leak. These systems are normally too expensive for the smaller applications but cannot be rivalled if a large area such as a Computer room is to be covered. Sensing devices are normally restricted to Sensing Cable and Probes.
