Overview

The Steam System Assessment workshop reviews the operation of typical steam systems and discusses methods to improve system efficiency. This one-day workshop is designed for end-users – energy managers, steam system supervisors, engineers, and operating personnel who have system responsibilities in industrial and institutional facilities. The workshop is divided into three major categories:

  •  Steam Generation Efficiency: The boiler is investigated with the target of obtaining optimum steam generation efficiency.
  •  Resource Utilization Effectiveness: Encompasses fuel selection, combined heat and power systems, steam system balancing and steam end users. The course covers the basic concepts of combined heat and power systems along with opportunities associated with steam system balancing.
  •  Steam Distribution Losses: Focus areas include steam leaks, heat transfer losses through insulation, and condensate loss.

For each of the categories the workshop goes into detail about the theory of operation and the equipment normally encountered. Several case studies are presented from steam system surveys conducted by the Instructor. The text for this workshop is the "Steam System Survey Guide also developed by DOE BestPractices.
