A global healthcare company is
saving £36,000 a year in energy costs
since installing Thermal Energy
International’s GEM steam traps at
one of its sites. A total of 85 steam
traps have been installed at the
process plant, achieving a 20%
energy saving in 18 months.

A survey of the site’s former
mechanical traps revealed that about
20% of them were failing open
resulting in 7568t of steam being lost
each year. The GEM steam traps that
replaced them have no moving parts
to wedge open. They use the venturi
orifice design to effectively drain
condensate from the steam system.
