7 Energy efficiency tips for steam trap monitoring and maintenance Remove Dirt Dirt is one of the most common problem areas. Dirt, scale, or foreign material finds its way to the traps and...
Optimum Boiler Efficiency load Optimum boiler efficiency occurs at 65%–85% of full load. As the steam demand falls, so does the value of the mass flow rate of the flue gases through the tubes....
Tip summary Take air compressor intake air from the coolest (but not air conditioned) location. (Every 5 C reduction in intake air temperature would result in 1% reduction in compressor power consumption). Proposed actions...
Energy saving tip No 17 (Compressed air system pressure) Tip summary Reduce air compressor discharge pressure to the lowest acceptable setting. (Reduction of 1 kg/cm2 air pressure (8 kg/cm2 to 7 kg/cm2) would result...
Tip summary Remove soot deposits when flue gas temperature rises 40°C above the normal. A coating of 3mm thick soot on the heat transfer surface can cause an increase in fuel consumption of as...
Daily energy saving tips Insulate steam distribution and condensate return lines to reduce energy losses by 90% Note: A bare steam pipe of 150 mm diameter and 100 m length, carrying saturated steam at...
Energy saving tip no-8 (Improve Boiler operation and maintenance) Tip summary The first step to running a more energy-efficient boiler is to measure its current efficiency as a baseline and determine if its efficiency...
Tip summary : Investigate potential areas for condensate return Condensate is the condensed water that has dropped out of the steam system as it loses energy through the distribution system. This water is then...
Daily Energy saving Tips Tip No 4 Energy system: Steam system Tip summary: Install removable insulation on valves and fittings and also on components requiring periodic inspection or repair. Proposed Actions: Check your system...
