Steam System Surveying for Energy and
Efficiency Improvements
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Often operations personnel and energy managers are
unaware of the opportunities available for energy and productivity savings in
their steam systems, or they are unsure of the calculation procedures required
to determine the savings opportunities. Steam system surveys can save energy
and provide significant economical benefits to the building owner.
In this course, the student will learn how to
assist operations personnel and energy managers in identifying significant
opportunities to improve steam systems. Guidelines are provided for profiling
individual steam systems with methods to estimate the fuel costs and operating
characteristics of the facility along with identifying improvements in energy
efficiency that translate to operational cost savings.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained
in the Steam System Survey Guide, ORNL/TM-2001/263 – May 2002, US-DOE Best
Practices Steam Program.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
thirty (30) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
