Cost effective solutions to detect leaking fluids before they cause harm
TRM Sensors provides innovative and effective leak detection solutions. Rapid detection, simplicity, reliability and ease of use are the focus. We offer off-the-shelf solutions for many applications and are always willing to listen and respond to your unique challenges.
Applications
Outdoor / Industrial
| For outdoor applications the target liquid can be crude oil, brine, refined fuels, gas condensates, or corrosive acids and bases. But rain water or melting snow must be ignored. TRM Sensors make use of conductive polymers to detect hydrocarbons and variations in conductivity to quickly respond to the fluid of interest without false alarms due to casual water. |
Indoor / Commercial
| Diesel is the preferred fuel for institutional emergency generator and fire pump systems. But storing and pumping diesel fuel in the basement of a hospital or high-rise building has inherent risks. Diesel fuel systems suffer from being “out-of-site” and “out-of-mind”. An undetected leak increases the risk of fire, but a more frequent occurrence is that leaking fuel reaches a floor drain and finds its way to nearby waterways. Early detection at the source of the leak is the key to mitigating risk. |
Water Cooled Electronics
| Most water detection cables are made to be installed on the floor or for tracing overhead chilled water pipping. These cables are too large and too stiff to trace small plastic tubing within water cooled electronic assemblies. TRM Sensors developed TRM WaterWire™-FWS to be very small and flexible and to meet the special requirements of leak detection at the board level, within rack assemblies and other water cooled electronics. |
High Temperature Steam Conduits
TRM WaterWire®-HT is designed to detect and locate puddles of water condensing as a result of a leak in steam pipe or condensate return lines. The major challenge for this environment is long term exposure to very high ambient temperature. TRM WaterWire®-HT system has been designed to withstand ambient temperatures up to 232°C (450°F)
Oil Filled Equipment / Hydraulics
Mineral oil used to cool transformers and switch gear is refined to remove all traces of volatility. The same goes for hydraulic oil, lube oil, heat transfer fluids and similar industrial oils. Sensors that respond to diesel fuel barely react to non-volatile and non-conductive fluids. But it’s possible to detect many of these “inert” oils using a different sensor chemistry. TRM Sensors developed the TRM-IOS sensor family to meet this challenge.
