Avoid
steam loss
It is assumed that around 15 to 20 percent of the steam generated in industrial plants is lost due to leaking steam traps
Defective steam traps can have a wide variety of consequences
Losses of energy and additional costs
Pressure increase in condensate networks
Danger of water hammer
Increased risk of accidents
Regular inspection of steam traps is therefore important in order to detect defects and avoid high energy losses in steam systems
An Example
Leaking steam trap (DN 15, 6 bar) causes leak rate of 20 kg/h. Steam production costs: EUR 35/ton, Operating hours: 8,400h/year.
This single leak causes annual costs of approx. 6,000 EUR/year.
The solution
Regular inspection of steam traps with our smart and mobile inspection system Valve Sense - equipped with the Trap Sense App
Combination of temperature and acoustic measurements
With the help of temperature and ultrasound measurements, malfunctions of steam traps in your system are effectively detected. At the moment you still need your own temperature measuring device.
Software guided inspection process
Like for valve inspection we guide the user step by step through the inspection process, just follow the instructions on the screen.
Immediate results on site
The Senseven App provides immediate results on site, providing information on: functional, leaking and blocked steam traps as well as condensate overflow.
All data structurally stored in the Senseven Backoffice
All data is also immediately transferred to the Senseven Backoffice. See all inspections and historic data in the platform and derive actions for maintenance activities.
