  • Patent number: 11371382
    Abstract: Suitability of an operational state of a steam-using equipment is accurately estimated to allow for early detection of a sign of abnormality in the steam-using equipment. A steam-using facility monitoring system (M) comprised of a steam-using equipment (4) includes a control state detector (D1) that detects a state of a steam controller (1) provided in a steam pipe (2) accompanying the steam-using equipment (4), and an operational state estimating means (S) having a signal input unit (S1) that inputs a detection signal (?i) from the control state detector (D1) and an operational state estimation unit (S2) that estimates the operational state of the steam-using equipment (4) based on one inputted detection signal (?i) or a preset particular combination of detection signals (?i).

  • Patent number: 10663162
    Abstract: A method for optimizing a fluid utilization facility. The method includes monitoring an operating state of a fluid utilization device and an operating state of a drain trap in a fluid utilization facility based on detection information obtained by detectors installed in various places in the fluid utilization facility. A running state of the fluid utilization facility is optimized based on a monitoring result.
