(13), the magnetic field generator (132) or the moving element (13) located on it 15 if it is made of magnetic material, it is created by itself. magnetic field changes that the magnetometer (30) can detect It transforms into a pattern. This magnetic field is created by the motion element (13). The change is converted into an electrical signal in the sensor circuit in accordance with the Hall effect principle. is converted. The processor unit (40) analyzes this signal and converts the flow into a normal condensate 20 whether there is a discharge, whether steam leakage occurs or whether the flap (131) deviation from the defined movement pattern, such as locking or frequent opening and closing. It determines whether there is an abnormal situation indicating anything, such as a steam leak. When an abnormal operating condition is detected, the system will send a visual warning unit (31) or an auditory warning. It generates a local alarm through the unit (32); at the same time, 25 through the communication unit (70). This information is transmitted to a cloud-based system or centralized computer infrastructure. User These data can be monitored in real time via the interface (80) and recorded This allows the operator to take the necessary action in a timely manner. Thus, steam leak detection equipment (1) is provided. An intelligent and continuous 30 system that instantly identifies losses and ensures system efficiency is maintained. It offers a monitoring mechanism. The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the claims attached hereto, and these details are strictly adhered to. The explanation cannot be limited to those given for illustrative purposes. Because a technically skilled person... 35 similar ideas in light of what has been described above, without deviating from the main theme of the invention. It is clear that these structures can emerge.
