| dc.description.abstract | Several years ago, a training session was being held at an electric generating plant in the Midwest. One of the subjects covered in the session was steamline drain traps. One of the trainees checked several of the steam traps when he went back on shift following the training session. He found that 2 of those that he checked had the bypass valves open, directly bypassing steam from the steamline to the condenser. He closed the bypass valves to put the traps into operation, as they should have been since the traps were operable. The condenser vacuum went up by one inch of mercury vacuum. The estimated savings as a result of this action were about $12,000 per week in coal costs! | en |
