Steam Traps

The implementation of Baelz 590 steam thermocompressor in place of traditional control valves as per end Customer has resulted in approximately 15% steam savings, elimination of steam traps, improved heat distribution & better drying quality.

The Jetomat® Turboheat® technology has proven to be an effective solution for enhancing energy efficiency and process performance.

Case Study Overview

A textile washing and drying factory in Turkey implemented Baelz controlled steam ejectors (Jetomat®) to replace traditional control valves, resulting in significant energy savings and process improvements.

The Retrofit led to approximately 15% steam savings, elimination of steam traps, improved heat distribution & better drying quality.

Thermocompressor for steam saving
Thermocompressor for fuel saving

Original Situation

1 Row Drying Stage with 5 Drum Dryers & 6 Washing Baths were Control Valve with Individual Steam Traps were used.

Technical Enhancement

The control valves were replaced with baelz 590 steam ejectors, resulting in improved parameters for both processes.

Drying Process

1-row drying stage with 5 drum dryers

Controlled by a control valve

5 steam traps, One on each drum

BEFORE
Live Steam = 6 barg
To Dryer = 4.5 barg
Steam Flow = 200 - 500 kg/h

AFTER
Live Steam = 6 barg
To Dryer = 4 barg
Steam Flow = 15% Lower

Washing Process

6 washing baths

Steam trap used in each bath

BEFORE
Live Steam = 6 barg
To Washing = 4 barg
Steam Flow = 800 - 1000 kg/h

AFTER
Live Steam = 6 barg
To Washing = 3.5 barg
Steam Flow = 15% Lower
