Maximum efficiency in your production process can only be achieved with a properly functioning steam and condensate system. After inspections, in most cases 10 to 30% of the steam traps are found not to be functioning optimally!
KLINGER helps you keep track of the status of all your steam traps and your steam plant. Overhauls, replacements or modifications lead to huge savings, often resulting in a verifiable return on your investment within one year.
For example, your company has 150 steam traps/drainage systems. Suppose 30% steam bore. Just one leaking steam trap quickly costs €15,- per day. That is over €5,500 per year. So your total steam loss (depending on system pressures) can quickly add up to many tens of thousands of euros!!! An investment in new, optimally functioning steam traps will pay for itself in no time!
Steam plants have become more efficient by investing in the use of residual heat, for example. However, much energy is still lost in the system due to (mainly small) leaks in steam traps.
Once steam has dissipated its heat, the steam traps ensure that condensate is quickly dissipated while steam remains in the system. To minimize steam/energy losses, we recommend that you check your steam traps annually and exchange them as needed.
One DN25 steam trap leaks about 10 to 15 kg of steam per hour at 10 bar steam pressure, which, at a steam price of about €25 per ton, amounts to a cost of about €3,000 per year.
A steam leak results in higher steam consumption. This ultimately also leads to a higher energy bill and thereby has a negative effect on yourCO2 emissions.
Through years of experience in steam technology, KLINGER offers you the specialized knowledge needed for a project-based approach to controls. We do this together with ARMSTRONG Int., the American pioneer in the field of systematic controls and optimization of steam systems.
