    Computerized Steam Trap Management System

    U. S. Pat. 6,772,093

    Factory Management in the 21st Century.


    Fundamental issues facing management will include:
    Developing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) through:
    Establishing an effective maintenance system. Achieving goals set for preventive maintenance.

    Improving Efficiency by:


    Saving energy. Setting and achieving standards in control.

    Satisfying Environmental Concerns, such as:


    Meeting the requirements of ISO 14001 certification. The reduction of CO2 emissions.

    Maximizing The Performance of Steam Process Plant.


    The Steam Trap Management System will help you to resolve these concerns. The elements of the System are made up of :

    TrapManager
    Management software

    SOFTWARE

    HARDWARE Diagnostic instrument and


    datalogger combined

    TM5

    SERVICE

    Technical support plus training

    Why is steam trap management so important ?


    The role of steam traps
    It is incredible, but nevertheless fact, that the performance of such a relatively small and seemingly insignificant component, the steam trap, can have dramatic consequences on the operation of a steam system.

    Faulty or incorrectly applied steam traps will:


    Turn a well designed steam system into a safety hazard, with the potential risk of injury to operatives. Reduce the efficiency of production. Give rise to quality problems in the product being manufactured. Increase the cost of maintenance. Waste energy: On average, a single faulty trap will lose 12 Ib/hr of steam. Prevent compliance with required environmental standards.

    Steam Trap Management System


    provides software, hardware and service that can solve problems in your steam system.

    From initial preparations and inspection route planning to final check of results, the System offers powerful support for managing your steam trap operations. Much more than the tools themselves, the combined experience of specialist engineers, has led to the development of the methods for establishing a truly cost effective management system.

    pledges to work with you and become a "partner" in ensuring your business success.

    Software TrapManager
    The Ideal Steam Trap Management Software with a Wealth of Functions
    Establishing records of the maintenance for any individual steam trap is important for both TPM and conformance to ISO Standards. Using TrapManager, you can create a log, update inspection records and receive survey data from TM5 for detailed analysis. TrapManager is also capable of being configured by the user to meet specific needs.

    The Process of Trap Management - Creation and Inspection


    Creating Trap Records Creating Inspection Routes

    The data required for steam trap management -- trap type, size, type of connection, operating pressure, operating status, etc. -- can be created and stored in the management log.

    TrapManager allows you to determine the inspection route in advance. Then you can simply download this data to the TM5. When the inspection of one trap is complete, the number for the next trap to be inspected appears on the TM5 display screen.

    The Process of Trap Management - Results and Analysis


    Determining the Results Locate Faulty Traps Quickly
    All traps whose operation is judged to be faulty are highlighted in the display, as well as being presented in a table that appears automatically when TrapManager starts up.

    Gather Data for Preventive Maintenance


    TrapManager will process the data from TM5 and then present the results in a number of ways that you can determine yourself. For example, you can tabulate data for specific conditions and calculate the failure rate.

    Determine Steam Leakage and Monetary Losses Instantly

    You can display the amount of steam leakage and the resultant monetary losses for individual traps or for the entire factory.

    Gathering data is the first step toward preventive maintenance. Trap records are automatically saved and will include the installation and inspection dates as well as inspection results so that trap histories are available for future trend analysis.

    Prepare Reports and Export Data


    You can print the detailed information contained in trap logs and histories and the analysis results. You may also copy graphs depicting the analysis results and paste them into reports, plus export data easily into other software programs.

    HARDWARE TM5
    Professional Diagnosis in a Single Compact Unit
    The TM5 is a precision automatic steam trap analyzer that uses ultrasound and surface temperature measurements to analyze traps. The TM5 is easy to operate -- so a technician can quickly be trained to use it. It is also light (only 1.9 Ib), so you won't get tired carrying it, even during long inspections.

    Automatic analysis in only 15 seconds


    The TM5 performs the analysis automatically. All you need to do is hold the probe against the surface of the trap for 15 seconds.

    The TM5 is all you need at the site


    Input of data into the TM5 is easy -- so other instruments and pads of paper for recording information are not required.

    Dependable trap analysis


    The TM5 uses data obtained from testing over 2,900 individual steam trap models. The trap under test is compared to the stored data of that specific model and its performance is analyzed. TrapMan's judgement accuracy has been validated by Lloyd's Register.

    Eliminates variations due to human error


    With the TM5, measurements do not vary depending on who performed the inspection. The tip of the probe is configured so that it always contacts the trap with the same pressure, hence the results are always the same.

    Intrinsically Safe Model TM5-EX is also available


    CULUS:

    Class, Groups C and D, Temp. code T3C

    Allows quantitative analysis


    Measurement with the TM5 yields quantitative results. For steam leakage measurement, the estimated amount of steam leakage can be calculated and displayed as one of 15 leakage levels.

    HARDWARE A wealth of new functions

    A quick one-hour charge allows the TM5 to be used continuously for 10 hours. The leather carrying case fastened to a waist belt prevents the instrument being dropped and damaged, even when stretching to inspect hard-to-reach traps. This also leaves your hands free for greater safety and inspection efficiency. The speed of data transmission has been greatly increased to 19,200 bps -- sixteen times that of the TM2 (the previous version). Expanded memory capacity increases work efficiency. The TM5 can hold up to 3,400 trap codes, up to 30 trap models per trap type, and up to 1,600 items of inspection data. The new Auto Power OFF function conserves battery power, while another new function prevents overcharging. The package includes the TM5 leather case and the TrapManager software.
