  • Locating one or more leaks in a power generating system while the power generating system is online
    Patent number: 7134322
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for locating one or more leaks in a power generating system while the power generating system is online includes adding a detectable gas to a cooling system of a power generating system while the power generating system is online. The detectable gas is capable of absorbing light having one or more particular properties. The method also includes directing light having the one or more particular properties at a section of the power generating system and viewing the section of the power generating system to determine whether detectable gas emanating from the section of the power generating system is absorbing light directed at the section of the power generating system. Detectable gas emanating from the section of the power generating system would indicate a leak in the power generating system.
