Recorded Webinar from Industrial Controls, “Gaining Energy Efficiency via Automated Valves” Clip 1 of 4, Recorded December 1, 2010. Topics Covered: -Understanding control valve energy losses -Implementing an automatic boiler blowdown to save energy costs -Are your valves really closed? Are you sure? -Are your steam traps leaking through? New wireless detectors can alert you! -Are your automated valves working properly? Learn how you can test them automatically. What You Will Learn: -Valves play a very important role in controlling energy processes involving heating and cooling. Applications range from heating and cooling a high rise office building to super-heated steam in a power plant. The more we know about valve designs and automated valve systems, the more energy savings we can obtain. -This webinar will address just a few of the many technology related solutions to getting your valves to perform at their highest efficiency. There are a lot of relatively inexpensive ways to monitor your valves performance, some even via wireless networks. -The bottom line is “Valves Can be a Huge Energy Waster” and we should raise their priority level to minimize these energy losses. Today’s energy costs are rising and will continue to rise, so implementing a “Valve Energy Awareness” initiative in your company will be time well spent! Who should attend? -Commercial building facilities HVAC engineers and maintenance -Plant energy maintenance planners -I & E Supervisors — Energy Costs …
