MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617065425 A) filed by Grundfos Holding As on May 21, 2026, for Method And System For Detecting A Leakage In A Water Piping Of A Building.
Inventors include Aarestrup, Jan Care; Hjsholt, Rune; Ledesma, Jorge Val; and Simonsen, Niklas.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for detecting a leakage in a water piping of a building (1), wherein the method comprises: - logging (507) data of consumption events (84), wherein the data of each of the consumption events (84) comprises a currently accumulated consumption value during the consumption event (84) and an event identification value during the consumption event (84); - mapping (509), during logging the data of a consumption event (84), the currently accumulated consumption value onto one of a plurality of event identification value bins according to the event identification value; and - detecting (511), during logging the data of a consumption event (84), a leakage by identifying the consumption event (84) as a leakage candidate event if the currently accumulated consumption value of the leakage candidate event exceeds an adaptive maximum consumption value threshold being dependent on the event identification value of the leakage candidate event and being based on a confidence interval about an expectation value of the consumption value, wherein the expectation value is statistically derived from previous consumption events (84) that are mapped onto the event identification value bin of the leakage candidate event.
