Benefits of Industrial Valve Refurbishment Compared to Replacing Them
In the realm of industrial maintenance, the choice between refurbishing existing valves and replacing them with new ones is crucial for operational efficiency and cost management. Opting for refurbishment offers a myriad of advantages, from significant cost savings...
Condensate recovery provides thermal and water treatment benefits
Excess steam loss will lead to costly operation, while condensate backup will promote poor performance and may lead to water hammer. Traps can also remove non- condensable gases that reduce heat exchanger effectiveness.Valve Hospital has an established competence and...
Cryogenic Valves
Cryogenic valves are designed to be used not only in cold, but also in critical applications. They are thus most popularly used in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) applications. Moreover, some gasses aren’t labeled “cryogenic” because of...
What are Cryogenic valves?
Cryogenic valves are designed to be used not only in cold, but also in critical applications. They are thus most popularly used in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) applications. Moreover, some gasses aren’t labeled “cryogenic” because of...
How Do Cryogenic Valves Work?
As its name suggests, cryogenic valves are designed to be used in very cold applications. They are thus most popularly used by companies that work with Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). For instance, the oil and gas industry frequently uses...
The Pros of Refurbishing Cryogenic Valves
Original Strategy: Replace ValvesOperational 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
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
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
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...
