What is a Steam Trap?
A steam trap is an automatic valve that stops steam from entering return piping. The steam trap should only allow condensate and air into the return pipe. This ensures steam is not wasted. Steam traps also allow steam to flow at a controlled rate, giving you more control over your steam fueled system. A steam trap allows for proper flow of steam, air and water inside your piping and heating system.
Signs That It’s Time for Steam Trap Replacement
We understand the urge to put off energy efficiency measures. But, if you want to save money in your commercial or multi-family property and keep the building running smoothly, Steam Trap replacement can help immensely. Below are a few signs that your current system is not running efficiently.:
- Skyrocketing Utility Bills: With malfunctioning steam traps, there is little control over how much energy your steam system is using to heat your building.
- Leaking steam: If you notice your radiator is leaking steam, your steam trap is likely malfunctioning. Putting off testing this steam trap could lead to water damage.
- Cold steam traps: If your steam traps are cold, your trap could be stuck closed. Testing allows you to know if this trap needs to be fixed or replaced.
If you notice any of these symptoms, place a call to (708) 381-2318 right away! Let us work with you and your energy company to protect you from any of the issues above.
