Profiting from the Full Potential of Your Steam System

Have you ever thought about the life span of the steam trap you typically buy? Which option is Smart Valves Inc.ter — a tool that lasts a lifetime or one that lets you down after a couple of years?

In the case of your steam system, the mechanical steam traps last for only a couple of years. Our SMART Steam Trap is the solution that will solve your problems for a lifetime. The SMART Steam Trap is resistant to corrosion and has no mechanical parts to wear out. Why would you choose the mechanical steam trap when a much Smart Valves Inc.ter alternative is available from SMART VALVES INC.? The main challenge is to change the mindset of your engineering and maintenance team and to learn about the SMART Steam Traps and how they can make your job as a Facility Manager a little less stressful!

Steam has been used in the manufacturing industry since the end of the 18th century when the Industrial Revolution occurred. Until the cost of fuels became expensive, most manufacturing enterprises did not care how much steam was wasted in their production process.  Steam traps were sold to the maintenance engineers since everyone knew it was guaranteed to fail. Some traps could be repaired, others had to be replaced depending on the location of the trap and the type of failure.

One of the most effective ways to stop this cycle of waste is by implementing steam traps that continue to work properly for the full lifetime of the steam trap. While SMART VALVES INC. does not claim that our SMART Steam Trap saves a great deal of energy compared to a brand new mechanical steam trap, the SMART Steam Trap can ensure that the performance of the steam trap will remain at constant levels during its lifetime – we guarantee that it will function properly for twenty years.

Energy savings from implementing our technology is based on the fact that most steam systems, with reasonable maintenance programs in place, will have 10-20% of their mechanical traps failed OPEN and wasting steam. By eliminating the failed open traps, you get immediate savings. The second portion of energy savings comes from eliminating leaking (but not completely failed) steam traps. These traps have minor steam leakage, and perform progressively worse each year, until they fail completely.

To conclude, the advantages of the SMART Steam Trap are obvious: you save installation and maintenance time and valuable ongoing expense by not having to buy and replace failing mechanical steam traps or repair kits. You improve your steam system reliability and efficiency by eliminating wasted steam from failed open and leaking mechanical steam traps. And you get a twenty-year warranty that backs up your decision to convert to SMART Steam Traps. What Smart Valves Inc.ter deal could you wish for?
