Abstract
About 37% of Turkey's electricity consumption is used in industrial zones. This shows how important energy efficiency studies are in industry. Energy efficiency has been regulated in our country with the ENVER law.
It is known that there are densities emerging from the energy production point in systems that still work with central steam
heating. The high condensation that occurs in the lines of the premises using steam mechanical systems for heat energy demand increases energy consumption and costs together with operational risks. In these enterprises, the efficiency, in general, depends on how much heat energy as a result of combustion is transported to the work fluid or place of use. In distribution lines, the major threat of steam flow lines is high condensation to heat losses. Returning of condensate in the flow through the distribution lines, thanks to steam traps. Steam traps are the equipment used in condensate steam systems to automatically dispose of the condensate, in other words, condensed water system list. Controlling and managing condensation in main distribution lines can provide gains of up to 10% in energy consumption. Therefore, the efficiency of a steam plant is directly proportional to how well the condensate collects.
Due to the high temperature and high pressure in the steam lines, the resistance of the pipes is of great importance in terms of
ensuring the continuity of the system. Although welded manufacturing is generally known as a process, welding technology is actually a complex engineering discipline encompassing materials science, inspection, design, mechanical and electronic systems. Welding Engineering is an important branch of engineering that can find a place for itself in all processes and projects in the welded manufacturing industry.
In this study, we aimed to determine, apply and evaluate the processes in steam line steam trap revision according to welding
engineering disciplines
In this context, risks that may occur in terms of OHS are reduced, welded joints are obtained in accordance with the relevant NDT standards, predictions for possible thermal losses are determined, data for preventive & predictive maintenance are obtained, the use of certified qualified personnel positively affects labour and process costs, etc. findings were obtained.
