  • System and method for operating steam systems
    Patent number: 8798798
    Abstract: A system and method for operating a steam system, such as a district heating system is provided with provisions for predicting potential water hammer conditions. The system measures steam parameters as inputs into a steam system engine. The steam system engine uses physics models and empirical steam flow behavior models to determine a condensate parameter such as rate of condensate generation and condensate levels within the system. When the condensate parameter exceeds a threshold, a signal is transmitted to the system operator so that actions may be taken to alleviate or prevent undesired conditions.
    Type: Grant

  • STEAM TRAP ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF OPERATION
    Publication number: 20110100488
    Abstract: A steam trap arrangement is provided. The steam trap includes an inlet header having an inner bore. A strainer having a plurality of perforations is positioned within the inner bore. A plurality of discharge ports couple the inlet header to a conduit, where each conduit includes a steam trap. The conduits are arranged to be offset from the discharge ports. The conduits fluidly couple the inlet header to an outlet header. The outlet header includes a discharge port for draining condensate from the system.
