RAEM1 acoustic emission monitoring system is a high-precision and high-sensitivity acoustic emission monitoring product specially designed for the industrial field by Qingcheng Ltd. with its deep research and development experience. The sensor can capture the weak acoustic emission signal caused by leakage in the heat pipeline in real time, and analyze and process it through intelligent algorithm, accurately judge and grade the leakage signal, and locate the location of the leakage point, which provides strong technical support for the safe operation of the power plant.

RAEM1 of Qingcheng Ltd. was used by China Special Inspection Institute for real-time monitoring of thermal pipeline leakage monitoring project of generator unit of Red Bay Power Plant in Guangdong Province. The sensor was installed in the key part of the thermal pipeline through the waveguide rod, and the running state of the pipeline was effectively monitored by collecting acoustic emission signals continuously. With high sensitivity and supporting cloud platform service features, the system provided an important basis for power plant timely maintenance.
