Ten to fifteen percent of our traps will breakdown once each year. This causes significant energy loss, reduced productivity and frequent exchanger breakdown. If the steam traps are not regularly monitored and repaired, the problem gets worse from year to year...
Do you pour concentrates from your distillation columns down the drain? That's too bad because they could be sent back to your condensate return. This would save you energy and allow you to avoid wasting cooling water...
Water hammers are often the worst nightmare of steam system managers because they cause mechanical failures, fears about personal safety and hygiene problems in buildings. And yet, they are natural thermodynamic phenomena associated with a biphasic mixture (steam/condensates). Water hammers can be easily eliminated through in-depth analysis of their causes...
Among the ideas to improve the yield of your boiler, increase of combustion air temperature is one of the easiest to implement and most profitable. A shaft of only a few meters sucks up air in the ceiling above the boiler, thus ensuring the highest possible air temperature...
