...The main capabilities are: - Stationary flow-, temperature- and pressure distribution of large collector fields are calculated under arbitrary boundary conditions - cost-effective pipe routing and pipe dimensioning - automatic generation of diagrams for documentation - Dimensioning of Drainback systems with atmospheric storage tank, including the following tasks: - Pipe dimensioning for proper venting - Dimensioning of overflow valve - Proof of dissipation capability by simulation of steam range - Dimensioning overflow valve

Steam traps separate condensed steam (condensate) from steam; steam is corrosive and they ultimately leak. Maintenance is an issue because the losses are generally hidden and it costs at least $20 to test a trap. Higher pressures lead to higher losses; a single leaking trap can lose $100 or $10,000 of steam each year, some systems have 10,000 traps.
