Case Study
Brockton VA Medical Center
Brockton, MA
THE PROBLEM
Steam was venting from condensate receivers resulting in back pressure in the steam system as well as significant wasted energy and overheating.
THE SOLUTION

Conservation Solutions Corporation completed a detailed study of the steam “system” including the steam traps throughout the VA Medical Center and recommended a long-term solution to the on-going steam trap problems the Hospital was experiencing. The SteamLoc® Orifice Steam Traps in conjunction with some high performance mechanical steam traps were recommended. The Hospital decided to proceed with the project and Conservation Solutions Corporation provided a turn-key installation. After the installation was completed all trap were tested and found to be performing. Steam venting from the condensate receiver was stopped. 3000 steam traps were changed, including equipment with varying loads such as Heat Exchangers, Air Handlers, Radiators and Domestic Hot Water Heaters.
