Steam Traps can cause between $30 to $300.00 per year in wasted energy! Steam Traps are a dangerously hot surface! Steam Traps are problematic, but necessary!
Steam Traps need to be insulated!
According the U.S. Department of Energy:
Effectively insulate inverted bucket traps with removable and reusable snap-on insulation. Thermostatic traps and disk traps should be insulated according to manufacturers’ specifications to ensure proper operation.
Before removal of all or any existing insulation material, check for asbestos in according with OSHA regulations.
Shannon Heat Shield Insulation is compliant to OSHA standards for exposed heated surfaces wherever there is a potential for injury. OSHA standards include: 1910.261(k)(11), 1910.262(c)(9), 1910.23(c)(3), 1910.147 & 1910.132(a), Section 5(a)(1) of the OSHA act
Energy Savings:
Consider the impact of 300 steam traps, or the equivalent of tens of thousands of dollars of wasted energy each year! It’s not difficult to see the financial impact of an insulation solution from a problematic device that frequently requires access for survey inspection and repair. But what if you could capture the savings and still have proper access? What if the losses, can turn into savings? What if the treatment also addressed risk mitigation, protecting your workers? With industry emphasizing sustainability and reducing carbon footprint, solving this problem is simply a responsible decision.
Heat Shield Solution:
Shannon Global Energy Solutions is an insulation solutions provider that attacks a problematic surface condition, difficult to treat with traditional insulation, and addresses that problem with the Shannon Heat Shield—thin-wall, reusable insulation. Steam traps come in all shapes and sizes; they also vary in steam pressure and temperature. But the application is not a lost cause. These steam trap insulation enclosures are CAD-designed and CNC-produced to match and fit any steam trap. With a hook & loop Velcro® fastener, Shannon Heat Shield Insulation is cost-effective, durable and highly effective at saving energy.
