Calculating Your Steam System Requirements Correctly

Steam systems are often oversized, resulting in reduced efficiency and higher energy costs that frequently go unnoticed. By learning how to calculate the actual process steam demand and using smarter equipment such as Venturi orifice steam traps, system losses can be minimised. Steam is an essential energy medium in many industrial processes. It offers excellent […]

Cheap Today, Expensive Tomorrow: The True Cost of Mechanical Steam Traps

They are considered simple standard components – and yet are often chosen without much thought: steam traps. But if you only look at the purchase price, you will end up paying more in the long run. Why it is worth to have a closer look at total operating costs. In industrial environments, it is often […]

Saving costs with low maintenance and durable steam traps

To make optimal use of steam in industry, reliable condensate removal is crucial. Mechanical steam traps often struggle with wear, failure, steam loss and high maintenance costs. Venturi orifice steam traps, such as the ECOFLOW™ system from EBE Engineering, offer a low-maintenance and cost-effective alternative. 1. Increased efficiency through improved condensate drainage Leakage in mechanical […]

Achieve climate goals and reduce energy waste with ECOFLOW Venturi steam traps. Discover how optimizing industrial steam systems can lower CO₂ emissions, cut energy costs, and support global sustainability targets.

Tradition meets innovation: the success story of Venturi orifice steam traps

A simple physical principle makes it possible for Venturi orifice steam traps to operate without moving parts. Who discovered it and why has there still been scope for further optimising this proven technology in recent years? Although Venturi orifice steam traps only came onto the market in the 1990s, the principle on which they are […]

Common steam trap problems and how the venturi orifice overcomes them

Steam traps play a crucial role in maintaining energy efficiency within industrial settings by removing condensed water from steam systems. They come in various designs but essentially have the same function: draining condensate. However, mechanical designs are more prone to failure. These malfunctions, which often leave traps partially or fully open, result in significant energy, […]
