Training and Papers | Courses on Steam systems

Thanks to the experience gained in over 30 years of activities of steam traps inspections, we have developed a training program to share the knowledge necessary for the choice, the use and the inspection of this type of industrial components.

The basic course presents the fundamental knowledge on steam traps and their different operation modalities; participants will acquire the main methodologies required to check the operating status of these components and will learn the basic parameters for the correct sizing.

Intended for:

• Plants operators
• Inspectors
• Maintenance engineers
• Inspections managers
• Energy managers

Transmitted expertise:
Upon the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic principles of thermodynamics applied to steam traps
• Understand the main operation principles and the various differences
• Identify types and operation principles of steam traps
• Carry out an inspection of the status of a steam trap by means of:
  • View
  • Ultrasounds
  • Thermography(*)
• Update the existing databases and fill in the related sheet on field
• Prepare the technical specification for the request of equivalent products for the maintenance/substitution of malfunctioning components

(*) The participant will have to demonstrate that he/she attended a basic training course on thermography of at least 8 hours.

Duration:

• 2 days in the training hall
• 1 day in the plant for on field practice

Provided documentation:

• Template of the data reporting sheet
• Handbook on steam traps operation principles
• Lecture notes on the analysis methodologies of steam traps (View – Ultrasounds – Thermography)
• Spreadsheet templates for data storage

Thanks to the experience gained in over 30 years of activities of steam traps inspections, we have developed a training program for transmitting, to technical directors, the notions required for the correct choice and evaluation of these components, in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.

The program provides for a training session concerning the analysis of thermographic data, as well as the evaluation of the suitability of the thermography method for each individual inspection. The course presents a specific module for the evaluation of the energy cost of the components, both in case of ordinary operation and in case of malfunctions, in order to transmit the skills required for choosing the most optimal product.

Intended for:

• Maintenance engineers
• Inspections managers
• Energy managers

Transmitted expertise:
Upon the conclusion of this course, in addition to basic skills, participants will be able to:

• Identify the necessary parameters for the sizing and the choice of steam traps
• Size the steam traps and request the necessary parameters for the evaluation of energy costs
• Quantify and evaluate the energy costs (both ordinary and due to losses) related to each type of steam trap
• Use the formulas for the calculation of the losses of broken units
• Arrange an inspection plan by using specific forms
• Evaluate the operation status of a steam trap through thermographic analyses and verify the reliability of the acquired data
• Analyze and evaluate the inspection activities carried out by external companies

(*) The participant will have to demonstrate that he/she attended a basic training course on thermography of at least 8 hours.

Duration:

• 2 days in the training hall
• 1 day in the plant for on field practice

Provided documentation:

• File for the calculation of energy losses
• Lecturer notes and form for the calculation of energy losses
• Operating procedures for the arrangement and the management of monitoring activities
