Steam Traps

Maximizing Energy Efficiency Through Industrial Steam Trap Maintenance

The 3 kEys  Roughly 20% of the steam leaving a central boiler plant is lost via leaking traps in typical space heating systems without proactive assessment programs.    At 100 psi, an open steam trap can lose around 150 pounds of steam per hour.  Multiply this by the number of failed traps across an industrial facility,

Optimizing Steam Trap Operations for Enhanced Energy Efficiency

The 3 kEys  Facilities that implement regular inspections and proactive maintenance typically reduce the failure rate of steam traps to less than 5%, significantly improving overall efficiency.  Properly managing steam pressure can extend the lifespan of steam traps while reducing the likelihood of failures.  Excessively high steam pressure increases the load on traps and can
