Steam Trap Monitoring

Wireless steam trap monitoring technology specifically focuses on steam trap systems within the commercial and industrial sectors. This field study aims to monitor steam traps at a site, demonstrating their significant impact on energy savings and efficiency improvements. The primary objectives of the project include evaluating the performance, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of wireless monitoring systems for steam traps. The technology under study involves monitoring systems that track the condition of steam traps, with a focus on natural gas as the fuel type. The project addresses barriers such as customer behavior in terms of the timeliness of fixing failed traps, which provides insights into maintenance practices and energy optimization. The sectors covered in this project include commercial and industrial facilities. Target metrics to be studied encompass energy savings, efficiency improvements, and the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of the monitoring systems.
