ANALYSIS OF STEAM TRAPS AT PROCESS PLANTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 0, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
In most of the process industries, high pressure steam is utilized for many applications. The steam is produced in the boilers and carried through steam pipe lines to the process plants. During their travel through these pipelines, loss may occur due to loss of pressure, pipe line insulation failures and loss of temperature. These are known as losses in steam network. This reduces steam efficiency, thus the quality of steam becomes low at the receiving end. Steam Traps are automatic valves designed to trap steam and remove condensate from the steam lines. Thus a perfect steam trap can minimise steam loss and thus maximise the steam efficiency and quality. The project is focused at steam trap analysis and rectification in the industry through an exhaustive study of steam network. Based on the study, steam loss is calculated. Thus the investment and its payback period for the company is also calculated. Obviously, the longer an efficient trap lasts, the more it reduces energy wasted, fuel burned and pollutants released into the air. The benefits are energy savings and a cleaner, improved environment.
