The Pros of Refurbishing Cryogenic Valves

The Pros of Refurbishing Cryogenic Valves

Original Strategy: Replace Valves Operational Challenges faced when replacing valves   No Technical Support from the OEM when valves fail. OEM refuses to share standards, technical drawings, measurements and angles for valves to seal. Costly downtime because...
Steam Traps: Load Pros & Cons

Steam Traps: Load Pros & Cons

PROS: Boiler efficiency is not constant throughout the operating range of a typical boiler. The upper end of the operating range generally presents a decrease in efficiency also because of increased flue gas exit temperature. Excess boiler capacity on-line can result...
Different Types Of Steam Traps

Different Types Of Steam Traps

The whole point of a steam boiler system is to move heat from one place to another using water as a sort of “conveyor belt.” The water picks up the heat at one end of the system, takes it to the other end of the system, and offloads it.  As we all know, when...
Steam traps: Condensate Pros & Cons

Steam traps: Condensate Pros & Cons

PROS: Condensate contains not only water, but also boiler treatment chemicals and the energy transferred during combustion. Condensate, therefore, needs to be returned to the boiler to: Improve energy efficiency Reduce chemical cost Reduce make-up water costs Reduce...

Types of Cryogenic Valves – Applications and Advantages

Cryogenic valves, as the name indicates, are valves that are used in extremely cold applications. Hence these are mostly found to be useful in companies that work with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The valves are commonly found in the...
