STEAMGARD® has helped improve efficiency and lower the rate of steam consumption for textile plants producing a wide array of products, from the lightest printed rayon to heavy denim and flannel.

THE STEAMGARD SYSTEM® is used in carpet mills, which produce heavier weight backing and end product, and in bleacheries and dye plants that produce colored yarns for fabric.

STEAMGARD® Technology/Applications

• Holding Tanks
• Finishing Range
• Heat Exchangers
• Horizontal Unit Heaters
• Instant Water Heater
• Drips
  
  

Major textile producer eliminates repair, replacement of mechanical steam traps, improves thermal efficiency, cuts steam usage 37%

STEAMGARD® Technology/Summary

Working with a textile manufacturer, STEAMGARD developed and executed a condensate optimization project to achieve three goals:

• Upgrade the quality of product by improving thermal efficiency
  
• Cut down on labor and material costs to service regular steam traps
  
• Eliminate losses through conventional steam traps
  
  

STEAMGARD® Technology/Results

• Overall steam usage dropped by 37% and improved thermal efficiency from 1.7 lbs. steam/yard to 1.4 lbs. steam/yard
  
• Increased thermal efficiency on Dye House recovery heat exchanger
  
• Achieved higher temperature on Dock Heater and Finishing Range to reduce steam pressure
  
• Eliminated maintenance required in retrofitted area
  
• Eliminated need to replace failed mechanical steam traps every month
  
• Achieved consistent temperature on finishing range to "significantly" reduce product rejected for wrinkling
