| Steam Traps are used in many plants around the world to prevent steam from being wasted. The number of steam traps in only one big refinery reaches several thousands of them. Such an enormous amount of steam traps underlines the necessity for the manufacturer of steam traps to produce a high quality product with a long lifetime. But it also underlines the responsibility of the end-user to have a well organized steam trap maintenance and survey program to replace leaking steam traps in time in order to reduce the total steam consumption and the pollution of the atmosphere with CO2. |
| MIYAWAKI accumulated over several decades an enormous knowledge and experience on how to survey steam traps in a plant. Its latest research activities resulted in the development of a new “Steam Trap Testing and Tracking System”, called. |
Dr. Trap PM301 – Steam Trap Management System – consists of the following parts:
| Hardware Processor PM310 Detector PM321  |
| Software Dr.Trap PM330  |
Special Features
- High Speed Diagnosis. Each steam trap can be surveyed in not more than 10 seconds. A normal trap without any leaks can be tested in only 4 seconds. Out of service traps are always indentified in 4 seconds.
- Small And Lightweight.
The total weight of processor and detector is only 550 g (1,21 lb).
- Usable For High Temperature Applications. Dr.Trap can be used to test any steam trap at a wide range of pressures and at temperatures up to 500 °C (932 °F).
- Dr.Trap combines long years of steam trap testing know-how with new computer technology. Steam Traps can be tested quickly and easy. Test results will be collected and analyzed automatically and can be displayed and stored in a computer. Test results can be reviewed and compared over many years in order to allow a well-organized and easy-to-handle steam trap management system.
- Ample Storage. The results of 1,000 steam trap checks can be stored in the memory of the processor.
- Extended Battery Life. A single battery charge allows 12 hours of continuous operation. There is no need to recharge the battery in the middle of the day.
- High-Speed Automatic Analysis. The Dr.Trap Software provides an automatic analysis and high-speed sorting of the data collected.
