Properly functioning steam traps open to release condensate and automatically close when steam is present. Failed traps waste fuel, reduce efficiency, increase production costs and compromise the overall integrity of the steam and condensate systems. Traps should be tested on a regular basis -- or the neglect may be quite costly.

Effectively managing energy usage enhances business efficiency, conserves natural resources and benefits human and other life on earth. Reducing the use of fossil fuels such as coal and fuel oil enhances air quality by reducing fine particulates that contribute to adverse health effects, and helps limit the generation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which contribute to climate change. In addition, limiting the use of non-renewable energy sources helps preserve their availability for future generations.
