Live performance data for steam systems
As energy saving targets and product quality requirements evolve, accurate real-time monitoring of plant and equipment becomes ever more important. But most steam trap users are still working with out-of-date information collected “by hand” on long intervals. DCO Systems is working to modernise steam monitoring with cost-effective monitors that eliminate work and deliver continuous real-time analysis.
Turn periodic inspection into real-time insights
Failing to resolve faults quickly has significant costs. Typical industry estimates are for a yearly failure rate of around 10% of traps. A UK site with 100 traps inspected annually could expect losses of nearly £16,000 from traps that fail in the year. This assumes medium size leaks, while large leaks (a “blowing trap”) are even more costly.
Working with surveys that are only undertaken periodically (often only on an annual basis) can mean that faults are not detected for many months.
Outdated fault knowledge prevents timely maintenance. A lack of timely maintenance raises the cost of steam and reduces product quality through the poor delivery of steam; the risk of damage from water hammer also increases in the presence of failed cold traps.
Real-time knowledge of performance optimises the site maintenance routine and greatly reduces the duration of equipment fault conditions. Reducing fault time significantly reduces costs.
Better monitoring is possible
Technology advances have enabled new monitoring capabilities across all types of plant and production sites, and steam systems can very much benefit from those advances too. Better energy harvesting, as well as new sensor and communication technologies, deliver more capabilities and more functionality more easily.
The use of energy harvesting technology eliminates the restrictions of cabled and battery powered devices. Monitors can now be on continuously, collecting more sensor data more often. This creates an unmatched depth and breadth of data on your steam systems.
Simplify deployment for quicker results
Avoiding complicated, high-cost installations is critical to quickly deploy pilot and test projects and demonstrate the benefits of the latest monitoring technology.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, DCO Systems’ Easy Steam Trap Monitor delivers on this promise. Eliminating invasive installation work, operating independently of on-site IT infrastructure, the simplified deployment reduces time to go live and delivers benefits more quickly for a faster return on investment (ROI).
