Description
This course covers various design and performance aspects of industrial and commercial steam systems with particular focus on some of the major opportunities available to improve their energy efficiency and productivity. This includes calculation procedures required to determine the savings opportunities. Instructions are provided for depicting individual steam systems with procedures to estimate the fuel costs and operating characteristics of a facility along with identifying improvements in energy efficiency that translate to operational cost savings.
Objective
This program is designed for end users at the energy manager, steam systems supervisor, engineer, and operations level who have steam systems responsibilities in industrial and institutional plants, as well as those who are involved in design or evaluation of steam systems, or who wish to understand more about energy and productivity savings in the steam systems. The attendees will learn the principles that underpin and foster best practices in using steam power, and by the program’s end they will not only have a range of tips, tools, and practices to take away with them, but also an action plan for integration into their daily routine.
Target Audience
- Engineers
- Managers
- Technicians and Technologists
- Maintenance personnel
After Attending This Course You Will Be Able To:
- Profile a steam system.
- Identify steam properties for a steam system.
- Identify measurements required to manage boiler efficiency.
- Calculate boiler efficiency.
- Calculate the magnitude of specific boiler losses.
- Identify and prioritize areas of potential boiler efficiency improvements.
- Recognize the impact of fuel selection.
- Recognize the requirements of an appropriate steam trap management program.
- Estimate energy losses in the steam distribution system.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of system insulation.
- Evaluate the economic impact of condensate recovery.
- Recognize the economic impact of all aspects of steam system operation.
