Advantages Of Efficient Steam Trap
When performing an inspection of the steam traps in your building's systems, owners/operators receive a comprehensive overview of how well their current steam systems are functioning. A steam trap survey that is completed correctly will provide a plan to improve the efficiency of the system, by identifying what steam traps are malfunctioning or are not functioning within their operating limits. A steam trap inspection performed correctly will also give details which can be utilized to monitor the life span of every steam trap and decide when it is time to replace it. Once the failed steam traps have been replaced, significant savings, not just in cost of energy but also in makeup water consumption, will be realized.

Other major benefits of maintaining a properly functioning steam plant lies within the mechanical room. If steam traps fail be open, or leak, steam can travel through the condensate pipe, which will result in steam reaching the condensate pump impeller. Cavitation may occur when one of these fluids gets to the impeller. Cavitation can be devastating to pump performance, and can often lead to a major pump overhaul. The failure of steam traps may increase the temperature of the mechanical area. Mechanical equipment will work best in cooler temperatures. The lower temperature conditions that an operational steam plant produces indirectly improves system performance and reduces operating costs.
Steam Trap Testing 101
Building owners have conducted steam trap inspections since the turn century. Therefore, as is to be expected, the methods that our forefathers employed have now become obsolete. The difference in temperature between the steam trap's inlet and outlet sides was the principal method employed to assess its functionality. Although this method can be employed today, more effective techniques have been developed and are continually evolving. These new methods use the infrared and ultrasonic technologies. Utilizing ultrasound technology, a technician will use either headphones or speakers in conjunction with an ultrasound meter and probe to listen to the sounds generated inside the trap. Steam traps produce different sounds during normal operation versus a failure condition. A properly functioning float as well as thermostatic steam trap will make sounds of clicking as the float is removed from the outlet port for condensate. This same type of steam trap can produce the sound of a rushing if it has failed when it is in open position or there is no sound in the event that it failed to close. The final sign that the steam trap is failing is a substantial temperature differential (if the trap is unable to close) or a very small temperature difference (if it was unable to open). Infrared cameras are the most effective method to determine the temperature difference between steam traps. Infrared cameras create a heat map for every trap, which can be quickly examined to pin the failure of steam traps.
When should Steam Trap Surveys Be Instigated?
With the start of the summer heating season just close to the mark Now is the best time to have a steam trap survey performed on your facility. The most effective way to improve comfort and decrease energy expenses is to find and repair any failed steam traps. The process is simple and affordable. |
