Steam Trap Performance Audit
What is a Steam Trap Audit?
A systematic inspection and testing of steam traps to identify failures, calculate energy losses, and optimize steam system efficiency in industrial plants.
What We Check:
Steam Trap Condition
Leaking traps – Steam blowing through
Blocked traps – Waterlogging systems
Cold traps – Complete failure
Cycling issues – Improper operation
System Performance
Condensate removal efficiency
Steam loss measurements
Backpressure issues
Flash steam recovery potential
Energy Loss Calculation
Quantify steam wastage in kg/hour
Calculate financial losses per trap
CO₂ emission impact
Total system efficiency rating
Testing Technology Used:
1. Ultrasonic Testing
Detects steam leakage sounds inaudible to human ear
2. Thermal Imaging
3. Conductivity Testing
4. Temperature Analysis
Common Problems We Find:
- ✅ Working Correctly – 60-70% of traps (typically)
- ❌ Blowing Through – 15-25% (major energy wasters)
- ❌ Blocked/Failed – 10-15% (causes water hammer)
- ❌ Cycling Issues – 5-10% (inefficient operation)
Typical Audit Results:
- For a 100-trap system:
- 20-30 traps usually need replacement
- 5-15% reduction in steam consumption
- 3-12 month ROI on repair costs
- 15-25% improvement in system efficiency
