Energy Conservation

Approximately 20% of the steam leaving a central boiler plant is lost via leaking traps in typical space heating systems without proactive assessment programs. Losses can be significantly and easily reduced by implementing a program using portable test equipment.

Steam traps are automatic valves used in every steam system to remove condensate, air, and other non-condensable gases while preventing or minimizing the passing of steam. If condensate is allowed to collect, it reduces the flow capacity of steam lines and the thermal capacity of heat transfer equipment.

In addition, excess condensate can lead to “water hammer,” with potentially destructive and dangerous results.

To help minimize their energy losses, we offer to our clients Steam Trap Survey and Compressed Air Leak Survey services at a competitive price.
