We would like to introduce a comparison between the innovative energy-saving performance and maintenance-free characteristics of the orifice-type steam trap 'O-TRAP' and the conventional type (operating valve type ST). The conventional type (operating valve type ST) has an initial steam loss of about 4%. After use begins, steam loss increases due to wear of the internal valve, and replacement is necessary approximately every 5 years. In contrast, our product has an initial steam loss of only 0.03%. Since there are no moving parts, there is no aging deterioration, allowing it to maintain its initial performance for over 15 years without the need for replacement. 【Features】 ■ Initial steam loss: only 0.03% ■ No aging deterioration due to the absence of moving parts ■ Maintains initial performance for over 15 years, no replacement needed *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

■Overview Our company conducts "On-site Investigation of Steam Reduction Potential." We capture and analyze steam equipment using high-precision thermography to identify steam traps that need to be replaced. By simply replacing existing equipment with our uniquely developed "O-TRAP," we can maximize energy-saving effects within repair costs. This also contributes to the promotion of SDGs. ■Investigation Process 1. Application and Hearing 2. On-site Investigation (Duration: Half a day to one day) 3. Data Analysis 4. Submission of Investigation Report (Approximately one week after the investigation) ■Campaign Details Target Period: Until September 30, 2025 Implementation: On-site investigation costs offered at half price (Regularly 100,000 yen per session + transportation costs → 50,000 yen per session + transportation costs) *Estimates based on the number of units and locations are also available. *For details regarding the conditions of the equipment to be investigated, please feel free to contact us. *For more information, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the benefits of adopting O-TRAP when updating 65 traps over a period of 5 to 10 years. Even if all equipment is replaced, the reduction in steam loss from existing traps allows for a return on investment in approximately 1.9 years. After the investment is recovered, you will be able to enjoy the difference in running costs compared to conventional systems as a benefit every year. 【Overview】 ■ Initial costs related to the O-TRAP implementation project - Average equipment cost: 100,000 yen per unit - Replacement labor cost: 20,000 yen per unit - Number of replacements: 65 units ■ Investment recovery period: Approximately 1.9 years *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "O-TRAP Series" is an evolved orifice-type trap that has increased the adaptability (recommended usage range) for main pipes by approximately 300%. By multi-staging the orifice, the area of each hole has been expanded by about 8 times. This has improved the major concern of orifice clogging. In the unlikely event that a clog occurs within one year, we will replace it free of charge. 【Features】 ■ No need to select a model for main pipes ■ Resolves orifice clogging *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Steam Trap

"O-TRAP" is an orifice-type trap that solves and improves issues related to steam. It has a simple structure with just a hole. Steam leakage due to deterioration or wear of the valve body does not occur. Additionally, it can maintain its initial performance over the long term, resulting in reduced labor during regular inspections. 【Features】 ■ Excellent durability ■ Reduction in maintenance labor costs ■ Cost optimization ■ Environmental consideration *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on improving thermal efficiency through the introduction of orifice-type traps. Conventional steam traps discharge condensate by opening and closing an internal valve, but the valve mechanism deteriorates and wears out in about 2 to 5 years. This trap has a simple structure without a valve body, so there is no steam leakage due to valve deterioration or wear. Additionally, there are examples of quality improvement due to stabilized condensate discharge, as well as reductions in running costs and installation costs, and suppression of water hammer. [Case Overview] ■ Issue: The trap does not open at low differential pressure, causing condensate to accumulate and preventing an increase in hot air temperature. ■ Effect: Stable discharge of condensate even at low differential pressure leads to an increase in hot air temperature. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"O-TRAP" is a drainage discharge device with a simple structure that has no valve body, only holes, unlike conventional steam traps. It has extremely high durability, and steam leakage due to internal valve degradation does not occur. Additionally, it seals the orifice hole with the condensate being discharged, preventing steam from escaping and only discharging the drain. 【Features】 ■ Simple structure that maintains initial performance for a long time ■ Minimal environmental impact at all stages of manufacturing, maintenance, disposal, and recycling ■ Achieves cost reduction in production activities, improved efficiency, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the blockage prevention capability through the enlargement of the orifice diameter. The drain flows out at high speed along a curve based on Bernoulli's theorem without touching the orifice, resulting in almost no flow at the edge of the orifice. This creates an environment conducive to the deposition and growth of scale. Therefore, it has been understood that in small-diameter orifices, when the large-scale growth collapses, blockage occurs by forming a bridge. At SUS Technoworks, based on the empirical rule that blockage rarely occurs in orifices with a diameter exceeding 1.0 mm, we developed a multi-layer structure orifice with a minimum orifice diameter of 1.0 mm. 【Blockage Prevention Capability】 ■ Initial State: Scale gradually precipitates around the orifice ■ Mid-State: Precipitated scale grows in a rod-like shape ■ Final State: The grown scale collapses and is discharged *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
