STAPS

Wireless Steam Trap Monitoring System

Description

The STAPS wireless steam trap monitoring system has been designed to efficiently monitor and evaluate steam trap operation. It

surveys the operation of the steam trap at regular intervals and identifies poor performance that can cause reduced plant efficiency

and increased energy consumption. It can diagnose both failed-open steam traps that leak live steam and those that have failed-closed

or are blocked that result in waterlogging leading to plant damage, product spoilage and health and safety concerns. Using non-intrusive

installation technology combined with a 2.4 GHz wireless network, it is an ideal solution for steam trap monitoring. It is suitable for use

with all types of steam trap and can be connected to pipework up to 100 mm (4"), via an adjustable clamp.

Benefits include:

-

Continuously monitoring of all steam traps.

-

Reduces energy and emissions loss significantly.

-

Immediate identification of failure location for quick

response / action.

-

Ability to validate losses via integrated software.

-

Non-intrusive – no need to break into the steam pipeline to

install.

-

A range of clamps to suit pipework ranging up to 100 mm (4").

-

No need for height access equipment to check trap operation.

-

Typically 3 years battery life.
