MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541060919 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on June 25, for 'the efffective leak detection for pneumatic brake systems.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. L. Gokulanathan; Mr. Nishanth S; Mr. Sri Kathir S; and Mr. Vignesh M.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Pneumatic brake systems are widely used in heavy-duty vehicles, trains, and industrial machinery due to their reliability and efficiency. However, air leaks in these systems can lead to reduced braking performance, increased energy consumption, and potential safety hazards. This project focuses on developing an effective leak detection system for pneumatic brake systems to enhance safety and operational efficiency. The proposed system employs sensor-based monitoring to detect pressure drops and air leakage in real-time. By integrating Flow sensors and External system of Force Sensor can accurately identify and locate leaks. Additionally, a microcontroller-based alert mechanism ensures that any detected leakage is promptly reported to the operator Through warning indications. This solution aims to reduce maintenance costs, improve braking efficiency, and prevent potential accidents caused by brake failure. The experimental validation of this system demonstrates its accuracy in detecting leaks at various levels, making it a promising approach for real-world applications in automotive and industrial sectors."
