Sir,
I have some idea about how to identify a passing valve
Like Detection of a passing valve using the Joule-Thomson effect principle through the valve: This principle consists of identifying a lower temperature downstream of the valve compared to the temperature upstream of the valve. This method can be applied with a thermal gun.
But I am not convinced with this way..Even I found some live steam from the blow down tank.
Listening through audible sound also getting difficult because many other machinery in service in the vicinity.
Does any one practicing the best method at their power plant to identify the steam leaks through passing drain valves and steam traps.
Our Power plant is of capacity 2000 MW and I am really worried of losing the live steam and more amount of energy. I am working in performance department, I am looking for the best and efficient method to find the steam leak drain valves/vents and steam traps.
Regards
Sandeep
