Steam Trap Analysis

Tale Of The Tool
Failed steam traps, because of their "often-ignored" status, represent silent, yet significant sources of loss in power plants and the like--especially when found operating in high-pressure systems. This tool computes the cost of wasted steam resulting from the neglect of these failed devices.

Tip On The Tool
For conditions where prolonged operation creates no safety issues or impactful operational constraints, using the “Loss Equals Cost” method is a prudent principle for establishing the optimal timing for repairs (or for taking corrective actions). More explicitly stated: schedule the repair when the cost of sustaining the loss (cost per unit time of operating with the fault * optimal time) equates to the cost of effecting the repairs. Repair costs may include: labor expenses, cost of replacement parts or materials, lost revenue due to operational downtime, expenses incurred for temporary power generation replacement, and any other source of expense deemed applicable.
