Draining devices (steam traps) are generally treated as consumables. The reason ; it has been understood from past experiences that steam traps shall be replaced every 35 years. Steam is produced by boilers. However, whether the produced steam be efficiently used is not too much to be said to fully depend upon the draining devices. Taking this opportunity, the draining devices must be afresh reconsidered and restudied.
Has your company any numerical standard concerning replacement of steam traps ? Or, any other standard in place of numerical standard ?
Steam traps using companies of more than 99% must have actually no standard for such replacement. One of the reasons is that steam traps have been understood for many years to be consumables, however, the essential reason must be that it is very difficult to judge the worsened degree of the steam traps. Isn't the standard for such replacement mostly from the visually judged steam leaking degree ? The most advantageous feature of Steam-Z is to have a capability to keep the initial property of performance over 20 years. This is understood to be a result reached from the reversed conception of orifice usage. More than 10% of fuel costs presently leaking from steam traps.
We are very happy, if this fact be regazed into by utilize our Steam-Z for your future energy saving.
