The Department of Energy requests that no alterations be made without permission in any reproduction of this report. Abstract Various types of Performance Assessment equipment can be used as part of a proactive Steam trap maintenance program to significantly reduce energy losses in Steam distribution systems. Approximately 20% of the Steam leaving a central boiler plant is lost via leaking traps in typical space heating systems without proactive maintenance Relatively simple equipment and programs can easily cut losses in half. Intermediate equipment and programs can cut losses in half again. The best equipment and programs can reduce losses to less than 1%.2 The potential impact in the Federal sector is enormous. In the Army alone, the annual savings associated with implementing intermediate Steam trap Performance Assessment equipment and programs are estimated to be about $20 million. Based on investment costs of only $8 million, the average payback period is less than half a year.
