Incorrectly designed and installed steam and condensate piping is a huge problem in today’s buildings and facilities.  This incorrect piping always causes costly premature failure of steam equipment such as steam coils, heat exchangers, and control valves.  The water hammer resulting from such incorrect piping is always dangerous and can even be deadly! 

Learn how to identify and correct such problems in a cost effective manner with customized on-site training provided by Jack Ames, P.E., an engineer with over 40 years of practical experience.

Recently I conducted a steam survey at a major university facility that was heated by 100 PSIG steam generated at the university’s boiler plant.  Here are some of my significant findings. 

All of them were contributing to poor heating performance, failed steam coils, and an enormous waste of costly steam!

Steam heating problems in a building can be a nightmare for maintenance personnel who must take care of them.  These problems include poor heating performance, components such as steam coils, heat exchangers, control valves, and steam traps which fail prematurely, huge amounts of costly wasted steam, and serious water hammer accidents that threaten life and limb. 

Very often, such piping problems are never properly diagnosed and maintenance personnel simply become parts changers, never identifying and correcting the underlying problems.  As a young sales engineer for TRANE, a major manufacturer of steam coils, I was receiving dozens of orders for replacement steam coils each year.  Ultimately, I learned that the reason these coils were failing and had to be replaced was very simple.  These coils were piped incorrectly!  All too often, when these coils were replaced, the faulty piping that had caused their failure in the first place remained uncorrected!

At SteamTraining.com, you will learn how you can identify and correct every single one of these problems!  Typically this can be done with your own in-house maintenance personnel, once they have been properly trained.  Outside contractors are seldom needed.
