Portable Sniffing Applications
Some applications require operators or technicians to look for leaks from a ladder,
outdoors, above or below ground, or in a densely constructed industrial facility or
power plant. In these cases, a mobile cart-mounted MSLD may not be practical. A
truly portable unit such as the PHD-4 is required. Some examples of such
applications are:
Aircraft manufacturing and maintenance
Power generating plants
Pressurized pipelines
Bioreactors and fermenters
Petrochemical plants and refineries
Underground tanks
Large condensers or heat exchanger
