An Algorithm for Leakage Detection of the Heating Pipeline

Abstract

The existing heating pipeline in our country has the serious problem of bubbling, dropping and leaking, which causes the huge waste of energy and the loss of pipeline investment. An algorithm for leakage detection of the heating pipeline is proposed to solve the difficult problem of heating pipeline leakage monitoring by establishing the background noise database, capturing effective noise signals, screening suspected leakage noise signals and recognizing the leakage noise signal with an advanced coarse-to-fine process. Once the pipeline leakage is detected, professionals will be informed to locate and repair the leakage point to minimize the impact of the accident. Meanwhile, the background noise database and the parameters of leak detection algorithm are updated by using false alarm signals, which can continuously improve the accuracy of heating pipeline leakage detection.
