The team at Campbell-Sevey has a wealth of knowledge about how to make steam systems more efficient, troubleshooting system issues, adapting systems for specific applications, new products, and much more. Now you can bring that knowledge into your plant with our Steam Team Tech Training & Tour sessions. Each 1-hour Steam Team Tech Training session […]

Condensate Drainage…Why It’s Necessary Condensate is the by-product of heat transfer in a steam system. It forms in the distribution system due to unavoidable radiation. It also forms in heating and process equipment as a result of desirable heat transfer from the steam to the substance heated. The need to drain the distribution system Condensate […]

DFT recently announced the release of their new tapped lug, wafer style, check valve, the model TLW. Here is an overview of the features and a TLW spec sheet you can download. With its one-piece solid body construction and tight seal, this non-slam, center-guided TLW check valve is designed to prevent leak paths and has […]

Stall is easily defined as a condition in which heat transfer equipment is unable to drain condensate and becomes flooded due to insufficient system pressure. It happens for a variety of reasons, but it always comes back the fact that there is not always enough system pressure to return the condensate. Over the years there […]

Every pound of steam saved is a pound that does not have to be produced by the boiler. That’s why recovering flash steam is a great way to reduce energy costs. Flash steam is steam that is created when condensate at a higher pressure and temperature is released to a lower pressure and the condensate […]

As many of us grew up, we were told that if you work hard, are dedicated, and strive to do the right thing, good things will happen. In my case, that’s turned out to be true. I’m honored to say that I recently became the President of Campbell-Sevey – only the fourth one in our […]

Many industrial facilities produce steam at a pressure higher than that demanded by process requirements. Steam passes through pressure-reducing valves (PRVs, also known as letdown valves) at various locations in the steam distribution system to let down or reduce its pressure. A noncondensing or backpressure steam turbine can perform the same pressure-reducing function as a […]

Check valves are important because they allow fluid to flow in one direction but prevent it from flowing in the other. Two of the more common varieties of check valves are non-slam check valves and swing check valves. In this eBook from DFT they discuss the two different types and compare their unique uses and […]

QMax has launched their new ViperLine™ Pre-Insulated Tubing to minimize heat loss and provide protection for areas between your manifolds and steam tracing/jacketing. The thermally insulated fiberglass material is protected with a flexible flame-resistant PVC jacket and can transfer fluids up to 400°F (204°C) while maintaining an outer jacket temperature of 140°F (60°C). This keeps […]
