介绍有助于蒸汽系统成功运行的各种工程、操作和节能技术。本文介绍了16个蒸汽系统现场研究的结果。其中九个设施发现，蒸汽系统管道、阀门和蒸汽捕集器的监测和维护方面的变化每年可节省2746 000美元。这些节省是通过ASHRAE标准中已经记录的程序实现的。要成功实施任何方案，必须克服许多障碍。通常，克服沟通和人际关系方面的一些问题都是必要的。设施按重工业、轻工业、食品和制药以及机构和商业进行分组和审查。关键词:运营、规划、绩效、美国、工业、食品工业、制药工业、商业、蒸汽、蒸汽疏水阀、蒸汽发电、蒸汽锅炉、节能、能源审计、标准、建筑、吸收式制冷、空调。 引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易1993，第99卷，pt。1.

Presents some of the various engineering, operating, and energy conservation techniques that can help lead to the successful operation of a steam system. The results of 16 steam system field studies are presented. Nine of these facilities identified 2,746,000 dollars worth of annual savings tied to the changes made in the monitoring and maintenance of the steam system piping, valving, and steam trapping. These savings were achieved with procedures already documented in ASHRAE standards. Many obstacles must be overcome to successfully implement any programme. It is often necessary both to overcome some problems with communications and people. Facilities are grouped and reviewed by heavy industry, light industry, food and pharmaceuticals, and institutional and commercial.KEYWORDS: operations, planning, performance, USA, industrial, food industry, pharmaceuticals industry, commercial, steam, steam traps, steam generation, steam boilers, energy conservation, energy auditing, standards, buildings, absorption refrigeration, air conditioning.
