Trapo™ — True Predictive Maintenance for Steam Traps

Steam$$™ — Steam Distribution Efficiency

These programs reduce the costs and hassles of maintaining a steam distribution system.

Steam$$ — For more information

• Calculates annual steam distribution system costs and efficiency.
  

• Shows costs of energy lost through piping insulation.
  
• Shows costs of different ways of managing steam traps.
  
• Shows investment, costs, payback and ROIs for changing to predictive maintenance.
   

Trapo — Choose the appropriate Stage for your facility.

Stage I - Trap Data ($95)

• Enter steam trap data using many automatic features to ease data entry

  • Calibrate estimates to match overall steam generation
• Calculate and print annual trap losses
  
• Select traps based on trap data
  
• Calculate proper trap grouping and averages for easy input to Steam$$

Stage II - Basic Trap Testing ($395; requires purchase of Stage I)

• Check traps at any test interval

  • You can enter only the trap condition
• Selected traps can be added to the trap check list at any time

Stage III - Optimized Trap Testing ($2,495; requires purchase of Stage II)

• Optimal test intervals for each trap minimize total of testing cost plus steam losses

  • In comparison with annual trap testing in a district heating facility:
    • Save $25/trap/year
      
    • Reduce trap testing by 23%*

Stage IV - Trap Work Orders ($3,495; requires purchase of Stage II)

• Trap replacement work orders, many automatic features for preparation

  • Parts lists by building and groups of buildings
    
  • Automatically prepared when a trap is marked bad on the trap check list
• Accounting feature enforces any cost and item budgets
  
• Maintain spare parts inventory for trap replacement
  
• Complete cost/benefit analysis of potential trap replacements
  
• Selected traps can have automatically-ordered replacements

Stage IVa - Asbestos Work Orders ($995; requires purchase of Stage IV)

• Asbestos abatement work orders incidental to trap replacement
  

• Supports OSHA regulation 29CFR1926.1101.1, as amended
  
• Track asbestos condition for operational maintenance
  
• Calculate disposal volume of contaminated materials

Stage V - Predictive Replacement ($2,495; requires purchase of Stages III and IV)

• Minimize costs and hassles of managing steam traps
  

• Traps automatically replaced just before they begin to leak
  • Traps to be replaced can be predicted for budgets, etc.
    
  • In comparison with annual trap testing in a district heating facility:
    • Save $32/trap/year
      
    • Reduce trap testing by 86%*
• Collect and analyze detailed trap testing results including pH, conductivity, etc.

The Contractor Version of Trapo includes all stages and is leased for $1.25/trap/year.

All test-and-replace trap management strategies result in the average trap failing halfway through the test interval. Trapo replaces the trap before it fails — eliminating most steam losses and trap testing.
